Does it violate the terms of use of the phone? iPhone, for example. If the terms make it clear you can't fix it outside their approved shops then there is no "right to repair". It's part of the contract you get into when

That will only push prices even higher. The cost will be pushed to the consumer, like every tax.

< less capitalist parts of Europe. If you want socialist paradise see Cuba, Venezuela and the rest of Latin America. Come live here and you’ll see how well it works. Government doesn’t have a special power with future vision, nobody does

The problem is they shouldn't be building stadiums either. You expect a lottery? So random luck will be the way to go.

So you'll force tax payers to pay for it? Government doesn't have free money. Why should people be forced to pay for the construction of such housing?

> Government should provide it for its citizens And how do you expect government to pay for that? How do you decide who lives in these houses? It's not that easy. Government isn't a magic entity.

Big Media is dying and they are desperate to shut down competition. This is a political article and nothing more.

>And that's just the thing. Many, many people don't have time to shop around gathering a variety of high-quality news sources. Many will just run Fox, or CNN, or whatever as their primary news source. And that implicitly shapes

Then it's not a viable business. I subscribe to the papers I want. Tax payers shouldn't absorb their faulty business.

What's the problem with that? Every news org receives money from companies or individuals with specific interests. You should be able to know what to read and how to read it. I don't think anybody takes Fox seriously (or at least

They should change their business plan. It's clearly not working anymore. Most newspapers in my country are basically dead and kept alive by government's money, ie, tax money. It would be ridiculous to expect a law to help them. T

What do you know what's right? To know what is right you need to see the future and I highly doubt anyone can. Let people decide by themselves. If they get in debt to study some "useless" degree it's their fault. The res

Market share is different from monopoly. Apple is not the only phone manufacturer. There are many companies out there making phones. The fact that everybody likes or chooses them doesn’t mean they are a monopoly.

How do you define enough money? The fact that you don’t like it doesn’t mean you can get the government involved. Protest all you want, but that doesn’t give you the right to call for help from the government to enforce something because yo

Where do you see a monopoly? The fact that people choose it doesn’t make it a monopoly. Specially with that price tag. You can choose many other options. There is no real economic argument to call it a monopoly.

There is no problem about jsnell posting that. I just want to know what all the complaints about Apple (Amazon, Google, etc) is about. Why would it be wrong for Apple to do everything jsnell predicts?

What's the problem about Apple doing that? It's their platform. You can go use whatever else you like, nobody forces you to use their system.
