Under Settings, go to Privacy & Security, and toggle Location Services on. Scroll to the bottom of that page, tap on System Services, and activate Find My iPhone. Also, search for the Find My app, visit Me in the bottom right corner, then tap Customize Tracking Notifications to double-check that notifications are enabled. Also, make sure that you don’t have Airplane mode activated, or you won’t receive any notifications. When you click on the iPhone alert for an unrecognized AirTag, you may be given the option to play a sound on the AirTag to help locate it. If you own a more recent smartphone from Apple, you might be able to use precision location data to find the hidden device. Months after the release of the AirTag, Apple launched the Tracker Detect app for Android phones, where users had to initiate the scan. Google and Apple since have continued working together to make it easier for Android phones to detect unwanted AirTag trackers and for Apple phones to spot Android trackers. Recently, Google rolled out automatic smartphone alerts for unknown Bluetooth trackers, similar to what iPhone owners receive for AirTags.

Mass transit should be free.

Mass transit cannot be free.

It should however be without toll. It can quite reasonably be funded with tax.

But free? No. Someone somewhere has to pay for the infrastructure and operations.

Capitalism makes it not free

But doesn’t life always come with a fee to pay? If we had no society you’d still have to work in terms of finding food

Exactly if you are a hunter and are too lazy to go hunt you die of starvation. They have no idea how economies and just want the government to do everything for them while they sit home all day and play video games

The person you are responding to took my comment out of context

I was talking about money fees

And your comment seems pretty ignorant of the issues of capitalism

All capitalism does is make people wage slaves, they are not free to be them

In the past humans worked together in tribes and used their strengths in each area to be effective

Now people are stuck as wage slaves working their life away so corporate overlords can live in luxury

What you don’t understand is money, money is an abstraction of the value you created through your labor, when you buy something you exchange your labour for someone else’s labour.

What you are asking is for you to provide no labour but get free food frombanother person’s labour ( also known as slavery ).

No matter the economic system the simple reality that things like food and housing aren’t free are true, so someone has to work.

The free market simulates everyone using their strengths since people end up in the jobs they are best at and are actually needed by other people ( if you want to make art all day it better be good enough for another people to exchange their labour for it). In capitalism you are forced to be useful to others

People’s lifes today are better than they have ever be, instead of being jealous that some people have it better because of their contributions to the economy ( other people valued their labour highly so they got paid more) maybe be grateful of the living conditions you are given. If you really want to live in a mansion work hard for it and maybe one day you’ll get it.

I know it’s trendy to hate on capitalism but please study some economics before trying to demolish the very thing that enables you to have a phone and post here
