Right, OP mis-spoke about some critical, leading detail of their argument, while going on to support questionably legal action giving off a great appearance of market manipulation by large entities with great vigor. I think this supports my

That seems less-and-less true as time goes on. Many brokers are not allowing users to buy GME even if their UX implies you can.

Yes we can. Please remember Web Components have no backing, while React has a top tech company actively developing, maintaining, and embracing it. For the last 5 years, I've heard about "Native Web Components", and for 5 year

If you don't know why this was downvoted - React rose to popularity in 2014-2015, and so my code from 2016 working correctly implies that the library has remained compatible with code written almost at any point in its lifespan. Also,

It sounds like GP drank the mobx juice to me. Honestly, after using mobx, it's almost impossible to understand why Redux is popular. MobX is more concise, more performant, has a crazy amount of built-in optimizations, and lets you forg
