I have experienced this myself, but I have also experienced the reverse many times. There are also many games that won't run on Linux at all. Most of these have Windows kernel DRM, so I wouldn't buy them anyway myself, but I'm not the whole market.

You don't need to have a monopoly for antitrust laws to apply. Only you brought up monopolies.

Maybe lose some weight then? Because if you don't fit in one of these you must weigh about 200 kilos.

And as counter-argument I'm supposed to trust an AC? HahaHAHHahaHahAHhaHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH

What if I don't want to sell anything for money, including my labor, and you've enclosed all the commons so I can't even self-provision legally?

If the Fed has unlimted power to do "whatever it takes" to end panics, without needing taxpayer money, why can't it fund a basic income, and index it to inflation?

"they expect taxpayers to bail them out"

Does the Fed need taxpayers, or does it simply print (digtally) money? Have taxes gone up or down since 2008?

If we were to get vehicles at near China's prices its hard to argue that demand for evs wouldn't improve.

Not necessarily.....most of the folks that want and EV, have one.....there just is NOT the demand for them here in the US that you have in other parts of the world.

A lot of this is due to the recharging infrastructure not being in place unless you live at the extreme west and maybe the east coast too.

I live in the New Orleans area....and from the maps and charging station finders I've seen we Still have precious few public charging stations anywhere in this area....

This is typical for most of the US.

With that comes range anxiety, and there's a TON of people, about 1/3 of the nation's populace that can't charge at home due to being in apartment complexes with large parking nots and no chargers or renting homes without chargers out side or no off street parking.

Unless you own your home and can charge at home, it's just a PITA to deal with and EV over here for a significant % of the populace.

I don't want one.....wouldn't work for me.

Never mind that their FSD is more capable than any current system on the market today.

What is "FSD"? New term to me....

What if the Fed had bailed out banks with printed money in the 1930s? Isn't that what Bernanke advised?

Remember when England fought wars to make them opium addicts (not that there's anything wrong with opium addicts)?

What if printing money doesn't actually cause inflation unless you can't access US dollars through capital markets (as Venezuela can't, and Weimar couldn't)?

"As opposed to the American way of bail outs."

Did China print money and give it to local governments to buy up empty Evergrande properties to prevent a crash on the scale everyone was predicting?

Did they just print money to avoid a 2008-style panic?

If the Fed had bailed out Lehman would 2008 even have escalated to a panic?

What if you legalized drugs and did Universal basic income, would illegal immigration be a solved problem?
