It's more than when minimum wage goes up (which has a similar effect on people at the lowest end of the wage earners - their income goes up by X) the effect is not that food/housing immediately captures all of that X, it captures

RoI isn't instant. If it takes you 20 years to build as much supply as you need then you're spending money over that time to try and get back to where you were. And spending money on one thing means you don't have it for som

Because it will cost money, and that money has to come from somewhere. If you have 300 froblets per month being shipped to you, and suddenly you have only 200 froblets arriving and you have to spend £5 billion building a froblet factory,

It's frequently simplifying things so that you don't have to worry about managing a server at all. I run a PowerShell script once a day at noon, and I have no idea what kind of server it's running on, where in the world that

Payback time in Scotland is 6-ish years. Same seems to be true in Massachusetts. Solar Panels have a lifespan of around 25 years. Inverters may need to be replaced sooner than that, but still last at least a decade. So it pays for itself 3-
