If you're selling 49000 electric vehicles, and the tariff reduced from $CAN 50k (estimated cost of a new electric vehicle; 100% tariff tax) to 3k (6%), saving your customers $2.3B, that seems significant to me? I'm only trying to

You could turn Pocket off, you just had to do it every time you updated because they decided to be user-hostile and keep jamming it down users throats (I'm still baffled as to why). I'm not hopeful.

I can't really see how? It doesn't have any affordance and discoverability is rather low; but there's feedback and a modicum of discoverability. It's useful [to me]. Now, WhatsApp have a pull-down feature that starts a v

Yes, a jest. But essentially you have to directly impact the take home pay off CEOs as that appears to be the only thing they will change their behaviour for.

Is that a genuine question, or are you parodying an ignorant point of view? The World has limited resources, we don't have a spare. Do you need it spelling out more clearly?

The schtick for Capitalism is that it is supposed to push all companies to the top of optimal resource production, the place you call the bottom. Was it always the case that Western Capitalism was about optimising profits for an over-class,

That sounds useful. Consumers most likely choose the food they want to eat by type, being able to spot the healthier options within a category sounds like it would help me in the supermarket. We have a traffic light system, pretty useful. B

The definition of democracy usually includes the rule of law, that no longer exists in USA. Trump declared himself to be dictator, and his handlers are having him act that way. They take no account of USA law, nor of international law, nor
