For those who lived through it, Packix will be remembered as both a bazaar of innovation and a ghost of jailbreak past—a repo that once promised a new future, but left its users with expired licenses and broken links.

      Yes, most politicians, including Biden but also many Republicans, favor the short run and support “stimulus packages”. But it is a stimulus for the short run only (just like taking hard drugs).
