I think the model that you're referring to is generally more applicable to hardware, but since you can make free copies of an app, Uber for instance can keep things low cost till they eat the competition

This person should watch The Gate of Heavenly Peace, and honestly a lot of Hexbears probably need to see it too.

It's not that the documentary is "correct" in everything that it says, but it's thorough at over 3 hours long, and had plenty of criticism from "both sides" (yeah, I'm an enlightened centrist :D)

I think we will have local-only comms before too long which will help things out

I mean it was nonsense to think it would solve your costs, but streaming is superior to cable TV from a tech standpoint for sure.

People should expect that yeah, new software is cheap when it's rolled out, but it's gonna get more expensive as time goes on, but I can understand why that wasn't quite as apparent to people 10 years ago as it will be 10 years from now

Sure, but I think we're mostly focused on its usage on other instances.

Once they're on our territory, pretty much anything goes

Well it helps if you feel like you aren't alienated from your labor as well. "Making pizzas so the boss makes a dime and cuts me a paycheck" is a lot different than "I make pizzas cause they are tasty and people like eating them"

It's overly amplified by liberal propagandists, but there's at least enough of a connection to make a note of

By that measure, Xi is also implicated

"Eating out" a lot would make sense from a sustainability perspective due to the scale wouldn't it? I know in the US it's pretty expensive generally, but if there were some sort of cafeteria style thing it should be less than making your own food in terms of cost, labor and resources right?

I guess I'm kinda thinking about the street food scenes that a lot of countries have (which have a few other issues), and have some sort of middle-ground betwen them.

I see your point, but that's a topic that should be up for discussion among your hypothetical Party/legislature. I don't think it has a clear answer.

You don't see his pandering to the EU as stumbling backwards into this whole situation in the first place?

I understand that it comes across as provocative, but from what I understand about his (attempted) maneuvering over the past couple years, he's kind of a spineless and weak leader who trusted the wrong side and got his country embroiled in a massive conflict.

NATO and the US are not trustworthy allies, and they let him talk up "Ukraine joining NATO ", a very dangerous thing to do, but I don't believe they had any intention of letting them in at any point. Zelensky should have understood this.
