Windows is emphatically not the same thing as Android. They're two entirely different OS's. No doubt you know this, it just seems like you momentarily lost the plot and made it about Windows vs Mac, when what we're really talking about is iOS vs Android.

Also Columbia owns brands like Prana and Mountain Hardware, so if you want higher quality stuff that's still basically Columbia, you have plenty of options.
The same is true of many other companies.
I think it's a case of the tyranny of minor differences and what people are used to. My personal phone is an android and I'm used to it and like it, while my work phone is an iPhone and I use it for entirely different work-related reasons that it's great for.
Never shall the two meet! I actually like having my work and private lives segregated into two separate OS's that have little if any overlap.
I have at least a nodding acquaintance with that work and while I think it's worth considering and talking about, I don't find it to be at all the most convincing explanation for conservatism and am far more persuaded by conservatism as being motivated by a desire for the preservation of hierarchy that manifests itself through said psychological traits, but that is the ultimate prior that informs them. Otherwise we would expect to see liberalism and conservatism more evenly distributed throughout our population, as with other psychological traits, but we don't, to the contrary, they are very geographically dependent.
So while I don't think that psychology has nothing to say about the issue, I definitely don't think that its the most important factor.
Not really. The real answer is that different parts of the federal government are underfunded or overfunded according to political ideology and expedience. This is a great example; the SSA is underfunded while the military is overfunded which results in clear performance differences.
You'll never hear a conservative bitch about the US military saying that it can't do anything right, and it's like, yeah, duh, because it has a huge fucking budget and basically gets anything it asks for.
Social safety net programs? Not so much.
It's a common lie. The reality is that red states score much lower on every objective quality of life metric, while having much higher rates of things like violent crime, addiction and suicide than any blue state let alone any of the US's peer nations in the rest of the developed world. It's not even remotely close. With very few exceptions, the social pathologies we see throughout the US are concentrated in red states. Blue states have problems too, but they tend to be related to the fact that they are highly desirable places to live.
My father in law doesn't like music. He doesn't dislike it either, he's just indifferent. Apart from that he's just your garden variety somewhat-curmudgeonly 80-year-old dude.
I am a union member so this isn't a thing that happens. If management does something unacceptable, we do a strike authorization vote which, if passed by the membership, starts a clock ticking down to strike time and management knows that they are on notice and need to start negotiations.
All of which is just to say that unions are good for workers, regardless of what kind of bullshit you may have been led to believe.
In the first movie he is searching for The Ark of the Covenant, but otherwise you are correct.
