You simply missed the entire (sarcastic) point, as expected of you.
If they're making so much content then if it was any good wouldn't the locals buy it? So why is this law needed?
It seems like at least one of the three claims is untrue:
* That there is lots of local content
* That it is any good
* Or that the law is needed
Perhaps it is just an attempted money grab aimed at foreign companies?
So you're saying it would be ideal if Disney was forced to push streamers specializing in local content out of business and become a local monopoly?
In your hypothetical, lots of families can in fact afford the $23/m, so Stan would still get a lot of business.
In your proposal they're mostly redundant.
How do you "bribe" somebody to buy something from you? Isn't that called a discount?
Third, the US gets tremendous soft power and influence to shape foreign governments' policies in ways that are friendly to US interests.
Europe decided a couple decades ago this was no longer going to be true, and today it is just laughable to say that this deference exists at all.
That's why most Democrats also want Europe to increase their military spending to a self-supportive level.
Obviously there are political differences between how to achieve this goal. But the status quo is no longer sustainable.
Liar liar, pants on fire.
There are definitely limits because of inflation, but if you look at a list of debt to GDP and economic health of different countries, the US doesn't actually have high or unsustainable debt.
Just a spoiler since so many people "forget," in the Budapest Memorandum each country agreed not to attack Ukraine, and agreed that if somebody else did they would raise the issue at the UN Security Council. Nobody offered any security guarantees regarding the behavior of other signatories.
they're only 1% of global emissions, #16. Doesn't matter what they do. The top 10 are the big fish
During the Biden admin the US passed several support packages. None during the current administration. The support now falls squarely on Europe alone.

There also has been a bipartisan sanction bill ready in the senate for months now but it won't move unless he gives the go ahead.
The current DimWit "peace plan" obviously originated in the Kremlin and Witkoff couldn't act more like a Russian agent if he tried.
The NATO operating budget is but peanuts and I am not aware that any member ever missed their dues on those.
The GDP targets were politically set goals. I don't have an issue with Donnie hammering on those, I just wished he would have made clear that this was about overall defense spending.
Of course by abandoning Ukraine he now gives EU countries plenty of motivation to play catch up and to spend more on defense.
Sorry, but you sound incredibly butt hurt and whiny.
Lets base our foreign policy on who was mean to me online
Yeah, that's the ticket!
While the Soviet Union existed it tempered capitalism's worst excesses. The Communist threat was enough to ensure that Western leaders were compelled to spread enough wealth around to the working class as to not give them ideas.
As soon as the Soviet Union collapsed America was off to the races towards the next gilded age.
Europe with its strong trade unions kept this more in check, but with an aging demographics it is now outcompeted.
There is no such obligation to NATO. The obligation is about the percentage of GDP spend on defense overall. The money doesn't go to NATO. Donnie boy either never understood this or simply kept lying about it.
Pax Americana means that the world standardized around the US dollar as the most important (arguably only) reserve currency.
This gave the US enormous economic clout and the ability to issue USD denominated debt at very low interest.
As the trust in America's leadership erodes so does the trust in the US dollar. This can be seen by the enormous appreciation of the gold price since Trump was sworn in. Central banks around the world have been acquiring gold to diversify their reserve holding away from the US dollar, and I don't see this stopping anytime soon.
No, that is not "super easy". The problem is the LLM needs to recognize it needs to hand-off a specific question. And that it cannot do reliably.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
