I learned recently that the Second Circuit held argument this summer in the US v. Jatiek Smith case, on whether the border search exception applies to digital devices. The district court, per Rakoff, said no. No opinion yet, but the argument is here:

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

So many bougie people are so bougie they have zero contact with people in need, struggle's just not part of their lives or their circle. They can give to officially vetted bougie charities. But they can't even befriend real people who have a lot less than them. They never know how to be effective.

Imagine if instead of the might of 44m strong negotiating for lower healthcare prices you had 330 million backed by the federal government. Think of how low prices would be then!
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."
