More likely this is posing and nothing else.
If it is something else, it's a threat, solicitation for bribes, or both
Beat feet, give food
They can't do that until they finish destroying the ACA
Given the price increases on the former and the price drops on the latter, soon it might be feasible
You ignored vulture capitalists buying the starter homes and the Airbnb epidemic
There are people starving on the streets NOW
They were not in any way the same company
This is, of course, capitalism-worshiping nonsense. Corporations are legal fictions. Having bought one, you have become the owner of the entire fiction, including the name. They are SCO now in every sense that matters, and I say that as someone who used to run SCO software and who knows several former SCO employees. That SCO is dead, hopefully this SCO can also die soon, but they are legally the same SCO.
today Microsoft is one of the world's largest users of Linux. It has no current motivation to harm Linux and every reason to defend it.
False. As a hosting provider Microsoft doesn't care what OS people are using, they just have to host it. But as an OS provider, Linux is still competition, so they still have a reason to attack it.
It's a crap argument anyway because the point was to keep Linux from becoming relevant on the desktop.
There's also just the general fact that they don't softball shit. If something is anti-consumer they say so. It just so happens that everything Nvidia does these days is anti-consumer. Remember when they were the underdog? Those were good days because they were trying hard.

This could, in principle, be easily solved-- air conditioners could easily store coolness. Water has a high heat capacity
No need for that, just store coolness in the house. Chill the house sooner, it's not just air, the mass of the house itself also cools.
You won't be able to buy it because they will sell it to China, and then they will build more fabs and they will be for HBM, not DDR.
Utilities are heavily regulated because they need to be. They have demonstrated it time and again. PGE in particular has proven it several well-publicized times that you surely have heard of.
The upshot of these regulations is that utilities including PGE only really make money from new generation projects, so they certainly would like to engage in them. But the longer they run, the more they cost, and the more PGE can charge as a result. This also motivates them to build the least cost-effective options.
What this country needs is a good five cent ANYTHING!
