Yeah it's hard to ditch maps. They also have way more businesses listed, and an actually good review function. Nowadays I discover 99% of places via google maps, and while I do use organic maps whenever possible, it's still more of a niche application. Offline navigation is probably the most common use case I got for them.
France and UK have higher purchase powers than UK, thanks to Brexit, so I wouldn't put that down to people being more sceptical.
Bill Gates at least made his money by himself, transferred most to a genuine charity, and pledged that 99% of his remaining wealth will follow suit once he dies; plus he convinced a good number of other billionaires to do the same.
Hating on Windows and whatever Microsoft has become over time is one thing, but Gates himself is not a bad person.
Most shareholders are index funds that replicate the SP500 or other tech indices, they don't give a shit about beliefs and will sue if needed.
We have property taxes and VAT/GST, though the latter are federal. Property taxes vary by district, not justby state or even city. That's a bit of a hot mess.

Google says the poverty line in the US is 13800, what am I missing?

That's like 5.3%, could that be real? That would be ridiculously low. I just checked and with that same income I'd be paying 2480 in Germany, or 8.3%, and that's in taxes alone. After social insurances and health insurance the total deduction would be 6450 or 21.5% total.
Deadwind, police procedural crime series from Finland, on Netflix. Only subbed, no English audio available; so it takes some focus - I tried before but was too tired, but now that I got into it, it's a pretty good story with believable characters.
I loved my BB Bold 9000, but the physical keyboard did reduce the screen size to a rather small form factor compared to modern phones. And I dare say that swyping is faster and just as accurate, so even if there would be new phones coming out with hardware keyboards of the same quality as old BlackBerry's, I doubt I would switch back.
Thanks, appreciate it!
