If you consider ethics and morals luxuries, then you don't have either.

It isnt an insult if you're trying to insinuate that.
Apple users pay a premium for their device to buy into that absolutist narrative. Apple tries to fulfill this practically. They do a better job than anyone on the planet and still strive to what you want.
Notice the other brands like Huawei, Vivo, Oppo, Samsung, Moto, etc not drawing attention to themselves about this? They cater to the consumer bracket that is less liquid to indulge this luxury. They want "cheap".
Check Maslow's hierarchy of needs as to where you fit and what Android brands catering to sub-$399 phones sit.
Actually, the 1995 Dredd movie's problem is it tried to put in too much from the comics - the Angel gang, Dredd being framed (part of the Judge Cal saga), and Dredd's brother Rico. I've read the Dredd comics and Dredd 1995 is actually far closer to the comics than the Karl Urban in terms of characters and dark humor.
"Cheap" can have its own price. For example, a $1000 computer you "have to" replace every 3 years (average life span of PC) is cheaper in the long run than a $1500 one you have to only have to replace every 5 years.
Never mind, it has been shown again and again (going back to the 1990s) that people are more productive on Macs than PC and there is less cost for IT support ($543 per Mac compared to PCs over a 4-year lifespan; IBM found that it needed just 7 support engineers per 200,000 Macs, compared to 20 support engineers per 200,000 Windows machines.). - Forrester Research and IBM Studies Show Macs Are Cheaper than PCs
"So yes, Macs do have higher upfront costs than PCs. But savvy managers know to look past such simplistic comparisons to the bigger picture, where equipping employees with Macs both saves far more than the difference in cost between a Mac and a PC and enables employees to produce more for the organization."
Or to be blunt, unless you are looking at gaming (where consoles as a whole crush PCs) getting a PC is penny wise, pound foolish. (Insert joke about demonic killer clown here

You got triggered for all the wrong reasons.
Execution on the Urban movie was more "Dark Knight" gritty. Dredd never removed his helmet in the comics, as I recall. The humor was also more dry. "What happened?" "Drug bust". The movies tried to do different things.
Actually Dredd did remove his helmet (with a big "censored" so we the reader couldn't see it) and had it removed we the reader never saw the face. Well, unless you count the Dredd Angel saga where the face of Eustace Fargo was shown and since Dredd is a clone of Eustace Fargo we the readers had, indirectly, seen Dredd face.
We would see Dredd's face, badly burned, years latter and that face would even grace the cover of the Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection #21.
It could be silly as well.
Damn. Well said! I'm from Japan, and everyone was socially distancing and quarantining + wearing masks. Surprise! COVID cases were very low for a long long time until vaccines came out and people started going out. America had so many COVID cases and deaths. I saw on the news that people in America always, as you said, fighting for their "rights" instead of respecting and abiding by the American government, which clearly was trying to put the safety of the people first and foremost.
