Agreed, it’s not easy, and I don’t suggest it is.
I’m in a similar boat, living in a suburb in county land where the closest grocery store is 15 minutes away. There’s no chance in hell Phoenix will move away from cars in my lifetime.
My only option is to move to a city with infrastructure already built. Housing will be more, but not having the costs associated with car ownership vastly outweighs the cost of housing increases. But again, it’s not that easy.
The truth is, there is no easy answer to the rising costs. Public companies must make a profit. If there are more frequent losses and those losses are more expensive, the only thing to do is raise premiums.
Making the companies “public” like Citizens doesn’t fix things either, it just makes them susceptible to politics, which will always come back to bite.
I think the connection issues may be overblown. I’m not saying people aren’t having problems, but I’ve had a P6P and a P7P and neither have had issues with 5G connections in the US or abroad. My P6P was passed to a family member who’s still using it and hasn’t had any issues.
I personally don’t like any skins, and OneUI drives me nuts. It feels like they move stuff around just to play with your mind. I would also swear Samsung bakes ads into its apps. I also don’t appreciate the Apple like ecosystem of our stuff only fully works with our stuff, e.g. Galaxy Watch and ECG.
Just my $0.02.
