I'm going to assume that no education in microeconomics have gone into this post. I've worked for monopoly and non-monopoly companies and, even without thinking about the very basic supply/demand graphs, I can tell you, pricing of the product is very different.

Here is s hint, price-point is very different for each. One will screw you over way more than the other one. Im not trying to sound snarky but please, honestly, educate yourself on the subject. Once a company reaches a monopoly status, price for consumer is very different beast than before.

Not sure if true, but a very interesting thought. Wheels within wheels, sort of. I'm not sure people are that "good" at planning though.

It is "corrupt" (within quotation marks because it is also legal). But it can also be understandable. Given his circumstances, I know what I'd do. The same. Without a doubt. What would you do?

Of course he can be criticised, go right ahead. I don't care. But let's also be honest. We are no saints. No matter what, he will never be elected to anything again ever. Just huffing and puffing is fairly pointless and makes people look blustering, not principled.

To be fair, it is only volatile because you view it from the perspective of something you feel is stable (perhaps USD). If you instead viewed other currencies from the view of, let's say, bitcoin then the other currencies would be fluctuating wildly. It's a bit like Alabama and time: it's all relative.

Did a quick search. Didn't find it. Please enlighten us. Sounds fun.

I didn't think there would be a pun in there but, man, you found it! 👍

It might well be. Thing is, no-one wants war. If the west wanted war, they wouldn't need a broken cable for it.

It passes on to both producers and consumers. It's not perfect but it might be made to work enough.
