now they just tell people they "should", like it's a duty or imperitive
The only hope is they don't find a way to make us all fork out for expensive folding phones like they have regular smart phones
That's the part that caught my attention. Our lords and masters have decreed we must CONSUME AT ANY COST!!!
should/shall are very powerful words, they are the words of the Ten Commandments and words in legal statutes.
