With all due respect, America has a long history of busting monopolies, and while we haven't gone on a busting spree this generation, we're awfully close to doing the one thing that Europe would never, ever be able to accomplish:

I literally cannot imagine supporting monopolies/oligopolies over healthy competition. There really is more than just an ocean between America and Europe, the culture is so dramatically different. How can one honestly believe that a Go

It keeps happening with their draconian regulations. After the privacy/data protection bill, I hear that the european market for online advertising imploded trying to meet regulations and Google Ads gobbled up some 30-40% more market s

I don't think it was wrong to downvote the comment and the comment was unfairly pedantic and inaccurate. Anyone with even a tiny amount of scientific literacy knows what the phrase "since records began" means, and that phrase

I'm happy that AMD really seems to be surging again. It was finally time for the ol' mobo+cpu+ram rebuild for me recently, and I ended up replacing my second generation core i5 2500k with a new Ryzen 5 and I could not be happier.

It's more complicated than that. Climate change doesn't lead to global increased atmospheric water vapor and the water cycle is very complicated on a global scale. Climate change leads to floods and storms... and droughts and wild

You can try to fudge your data but the FDA is the most rigorous science based regulator in America and possibly the world. And, the FDA monitoring of drugs requires more than Phase 1-3 clinical trials (which cost hundreds of millions of dol

All of those farms are just one season away from producing food no matter who we pay transfer payments to. Considering many of those fields are left without any crops anyway, I think you overstate how reliant we are on them

It's actually a subsidy in reverse: 1) The so-called "Farm Bill" provides hundreds of billions of dollars in what is essentially farmer socialism, incredible sums of money to protect farmers livelihoods from the free market.
