apparati

People who stay on the cutting edge of i-phone / smart-phone apps, and who always have the latest app for any imaginable function downloaded to their phone. Rhymes with literati, glitterati, digerati, etc. Has the virtue of also being the Latin for apparatuses, which the apparati, of course, always have in plentiful supply to run all their apps.

"The choice between the American and Canadian healthcare models is simply a choice between different two different flavours of statism – each with somewhat different vices, it’s true (e.g., do you prefer higher prices or longer waits?), but ultimately coming down to a matter of the percentage to which control of your healthcare is exercised by people sitting in government offices as opposed to being exercised by people sitting in governmentally-privileged 'private' offices – but in either case by ambitious, avaricious apparatchiks who aren’t you."
