We should be mad at the corporations and mega-billionaires stealing our money. And the tyrant who is growing increasingly mad and insane with power every day. Instead, people are angry at "illegal" immigrants, trans athletes, non-existant weather generating machines, which stores don't say Merry Christmas, kneeling or standing for the flag, and other stupid right wing bullshit.

And get a burner when you get here.

I don't know if the OP is a US citizen or not, but presuming they are, we are not yet at the point where they would be turned away at the border for having no phone.

It's not about the phone, it's about the focus. Anything that catches the attention of the border guards means they can do a search for your public social media postings or check records to see if you've been flagged already due to social media posting.
