Vertical integration FTW. Now you can choose a full USA manufactured Librem 5 mobile phone. You may prefer the European phone. Hopefully we will have options for other jurisdictions soon too... One can imagine various Wikileak's, but jurisdiction based, where the Chinese wikileaks leaks USA dirt, and the USA wikileaks leaks Chinese dirt (we're seeing a bit of this already recently), etc. This is the closest story we have to #OpenFabs for now. Announcing the Librem 5 USA–the same freedom, security, and privacy-respecting phone, now with Made in USA electronic fabrication https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-usa/ We can be confident that Juan will prefer this particular Librem 5 to the Euro manufactured one.

Everyone: "Freedom has a price, and it is my right to live my rights."

"Knives and hammers can, and are, used to kill people; that is the price of allowing hammers and knives!"

"Some car drivers have done hit and runs against pedestrians who have later died - that is a price we pay to uphold individual right to drive/ travel according to their will."

Unless we pay the price for freedom, we shall be slaves.

Create your world,
