Why are Apple fanboys so against their own security!? SMS/MMS is not encrypted and can easily be hacked into by hackers allowing them to steal your information. Do they not realize that it's not just Android phones that are converted to SMS/MMS? Bank codes, 2 factor authentication, emergency notifications, etc. are all converted to SMS/MMS on iPhones because none of these messaging services have access to Apple's CLOSED iMessage software. Apple is supposed to care so much about its users' security, yet they refuse to incorporate RCS into iMessage to shore up their security. It's not the green bubbles we have to worry about. It's the damn insecure blue bubbles.

Considering how hard it is to hack into Android, that isn't much of a concern. If you've been hacked, you have much bigger problems that your text messages.

Answer?

You've given it 100% more thought than the average user does.

- No nationwide contactless payment coverage
- Paying rent by cheque (check)
- Patchy healthcare
- And our old friend guns

They all mean FREEDOM!

You forgot about the lack of a living minimum wage and paid sick and vacation days for all full time workers
