Because deep subject experts are in fact experts in their subject, not your subject. Just like you have no idea about how to design a modern wide body passenger jet, they have no idea how to properly utilize a database for what they have always done in excel.

Soo, how would they "subsidize everything"? I mean, where would the money come from? Materializes out of thin air?

Joke is on him. Steam allows refunds. And they get used.

And buy the slop before they know! Great business idea!

I guess this asshole does not know that Steam does refunds and often does refunds far beyond the "2h played" official limit. I have used it several times, never an issue.

But it still means some diversification in the more general landscape. It also means they can now, for a while, move again with lower effort.

While Google is probably not the best choice, the move also causes increased flexibility. They will now, for a while, be able to move again with relatively low effort.

That the move is difficult just shows how direly needed it is.

you can do that now and find out the u.s. account at the time was nonsense. Go to wikipedia and see.

my dictator can tax the crap out of us with tariffs on imports from your dictator. we sure showed you who the bitch is!

Lower classes live the best life they have ever lived in history of humanity. Not only are they not living the normal state of lower class which is starving, in constant pain, infested by large amount of parasites, quite ill, and extremely overworked.

They're living the opposite life: abundance is insane, to the point where poor are fat, parasite infestations are exceedingly rare, they have a wide array of pain mitigation for when they do experience it, and they have actual legal rights in terms of work, rather than normative "work harder slave or the whipping will commence".

The sole reason for this is is technological progress and automation. It has elevated value produced by work of even lower class workers to the point where just short amount of time worked can afford them the kind of food selection kings didn't have half a century ago. The kind of health care kings didn't have twenty years ago. Etc.

This utterly insane myopia of modern Western far left when it comes to grasping that it's in fact those worst off that had the most benefit from modern economic system and its technological progress is probably one of the greatest feats of stupidity humanity has ever managed to create.

Honestly, it never ceases to surprise me how many people never had to manage other people. Because the moment you have to do that, you find out just how incredibly unreliable people are.

Indeed. About time.

Indeed. But the proponents of the hype are not rational.

When I looked a few years ago, motorists in the Youkay paid 8x as much in motoring taxes as the Youkay government spent on roads. They're a generic tax grab rather than something to pay for roads.

But yeah, it's incredibly unfair that EVs don't pay the tax when they're typically significantly heaver than ICE cars and road damage scales with something like the 3rd or 4th power by weight.

You are welcome.

>However, it isn't perfect.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Notably, this is also the difference between engineers and scientists. Latter live in the world of perfect abstraction. Former live in real world, where perfect abstraction is exceedingly counter-productive, and good enough is the gold standard.
