Besides the odd biro, never once did I ever use company merch outside of an office. Definitely never used the shitty backpacks or laptop bags. Those got donated to Goodwill.

They might want American made, they just can’t afford it.

Your idea for an alternatives to website sounds like a great idea.

You aren’t a super power if you rely on Uncle Sam to defend you and your neighbors.

A phone with multiboot?

Sounds interesting. Ubuntu Touch has been very disappointing in its lack of real progress. We seriously need an alternative to the current Android/iOS duopoly.
