> That’s the answer. You move your business out of Texas. Any company that expands or initiates new operations in Texas implicitly supports Texas’s abortion ban. I like reading Gruber usually, but this comment is completely asinine.

Consider asking the Japanese to no longer eat fish or seafood. It's possible, but the Japanese would lose a big part of their identity.

The British could give up tea, the Japanese could give up rice, and Indians could give up cumin. It's entirely possible to do all of those things by "simply not eating it". Do you think the above are equivalent to what you&#x

I think a lot of people make choices in spite of data to the contrary. We fly on planes, buy plastic junk from Amazon overseas and replace electronics like they are going out of style. We're burning energy to have digital money and we

I agree with what you're saying in spirit, I think. I am trying to make a point that "eat less meat, it's like super easy right?" is not about substituting tofu/beyond/impossible meat for beef. There are cultur

Do you really think it's easy to drop meat consumption from the cultures of the world? Meat is a huge part of many cultures around the world, including mine. Stopping meat consumption overnight would close many restaurants and business

I imagine any fees/fines/consequences for not having a vaccine passport will be relatively more of a burden for the poor to bear. This same argument has been made for/against requiring voter id laws in the US.

How is allowing many 3P payment processors a feature? It's a complication and an added risk with no upside for me as the consumer. No thanks.

Transaction costs, taxes, maintenance, interest opportunity cost, etc. all of the same reasons that it might be cheaper to rent in the USA than buy.

I really did not expect this from Apple. Perhaps I am too naive. It makes me think Apple is doing this as a sort of litmus test or as a way to force another issue: - Government says Apple has to do it - Apple announces they will do it - App
