That's a different topic with various factors involved... But generally pricing someone out can keep a competitor off shelves. Most companies want to secure marketshare.
This is not the same as what happened during covid, which effected the whole of the domestic market at once. Obviously tariffs on specific importants is a different effect than that.
No wai!
FBI tip line immediately, just because he's a NAZI.
I'm fuckin glad he did it.
They should also consider creating networks of sub unions and commonwealths that pool different kinds of resources that are beyond the clutches of The Federal Government. Perhaps holding them in trusts which are obligated to share them as forms of mutual aid under specific rules and conditions.
Distributing parallel forms of government might be a way to keep Trump's power in check. If certain networks or interstate agreement/trusts/commonwealths get large enough, they might even develop internationally recognized travel documents, and welfare systems.
The point would be to try to remain stealthy though, and avoid conflicts or the appearance of competing with the Federal government. So all Federal obligations would still have to be met.
A new European Union might be a model to follow, it would just be...an American States Union.
...a distributed American States Union. DASU, rather than USA.
Bats use heat to fly off their viruses, they get pretty bad ones, but when they're flying Bats get really hot. So it burns them off.
Also, some viruses have evolved into us and ended up serving functions in the human bawdy.
I hope Captain Beverly Crusher was okay... And that none of her crew became sexy ghosts.
Blizzard wants to hide the fact that Warcraft and Warcraft II were fun, and in a completely different genre than WoW....
...and they weren't subscription model games. I liked those games. Good Solo games, very replayable with various AI skirmish modes, and you could even get a map editor.
Roger Stone, Steve Banon, Dinesh D'Souza all sorts of other crony based pardons were already done in Trumps last term.
Your Pearl Clutching the inevitable (as of it will now be Bidens fault) is ridiculous, and out of line.
Clearly Mashable is not real and genuine journalism, and this Cecily Mauran person who wrote the article is either trash at their job, or it's a click bait website.
There's a list of names (taken from a social media post) at the bottom of the article. Search the first one Brain Hood, you find out he's an Australian Mayor who sued ChatGPT because it claimed he'd taken bribes, when he hadn't. He sued them for spreading misinformation, so they shut the chat down when he's mentioned because he's sued them.
I have little doubt this explains all the names.
People are worried AI will spread misinformation like it's something new, when we have people like Cecily Mauran and Mashables already doing it.
OP how much of today's markets and politics are definited by Oligarchs and the rich? Can you really say that a plutocracy isn't it's own kind of dictatorship?
Even more so, many westerners have been fooled by culture to think this is natural, inevitable, and good.
In terms of per capita rates, the Irish Catholic Church was incarcerating more of Irelands population than Stalin did to Russia during his reign.
Just two companies; The British East India company and the Belgian Rubber plantations of the Congo killed more people than Stalin or Mao (especially if you factor out the deaths from Lysenkoism, which wasn't a part of communism).
So early Capitalism and Colonialism killed far more than Communist dictatorships have....
And finally there is this to say - Communism is an economic system designed to interrupt plutocratic rule. It's not a governmental system of elections and checls and balances....
...and if we are to be the most up to date with this: China and Vietnam have Socialist Oriented Market Economies. The one in Vietnam, has almost eliminated homelessness entirely. Is that a dictatorship compared to the woes of the west's housing crisises?
Early systems from both economic models - Capitalism/Colonialism and Communism - both had events of mass killings. Both have seen dictatorships... You only focus on these things in the Communist model, because of your background. Likewise, someone from China or North Korea might hear more about the famines, deaths and genocides of the Capitalist and Colonial corporations I've mentioned above.
P.S. Are Cancer deaths from chemicals Capitalists kept on the "safe" list indicative of a dictatorship by the wealthy? What about the deaths and famines from weather disturbances in the climate? If we're counting the famines under Communism, then why not these things to? It's because of a hidden Western ideology/indoctrination culture.
