Phone prices, delivery, and parts

My personal take would be … if I worked in an industry in the US which had the highest security requirements (defense, aerospace, intelligence, …) and it is a business expense then yes go for the “assembled in the US” (USA Edition) phone otherwise I would accept the small additional risk of “assembled in China”, while still getting most of what I want (open source, modular, Linux-based phone etc.) and supporting the overall project and mission.

I hope normal american people don’t take offense, but right now, I trust China more than I trust the U.S. government.

" the US which had the highest security requirements (defense, aerospace, intelligence, …)" is what U.S. news medium presents to the world. Double-reversing propaganda?

Lastly, you are partly correct - I do have a residence in Canada. Since 2 countries are already working at side-stepping the U.S. dollar and opting to use the gold standard, it may be cheaper to buy Librem for me (I’m not made of any country’s money - unfortunately ) when the U.S. economy is out of the running; which I predict to be next March - April pending on who is president at the time, and whether or not the marriage of Beijing and Moscow is annulled or not.

Thanks for your personal take", as it is a valued ‘take’ on things. I appreciate you taking the time to sharing it.
