Our insurance and medical expenses will go from $3.5K this year to at least $11K next, and that's with few medical problems. We could easily hit $20K if care is actually needed because co-pays, deductibles and max out of pockets have more than doubled and actually quadrupled in some cases. We do not have that kind of money lying around and our spending on other things is going to come to a halt.

If you think the economy is slowing because of Trump's tariffs, foreign export collapse, resulting unemployment, Federal employee layoffs and government shutdowns, wait until this explosion of medical costs hits people's budgets. I won't be the least bit surprised Trump and his ilk cause another Depression.

Remember when Google backed off the changes to Chrome that prevented adblockers from working and a short time later implemented those changes anyway?

Google wants people to think they have a voice about what happens with Android, not to actually give them one.

Blocking side loading will force apps and any generated revenue into Google’s Play store which is exactly the point of this no matter what Google says.
