I wouldn't use anything MrBeast does as evidence of anything.

The problem isn't spending, the problem is the rich don't pay nearly enough taxes.

What specific time period and location before "vast income tax regimes and welfare states" are you talking about? And who gave money to what?

That's not going to have an impact on the people who believe otherwise.

Correct, but now there will be not even a semblance of bipartisanship. It's not even enough to be a member of the same party, you must pledge full unwavering loyalty and never criticize the administration or face the consequences of be

That's somewhat of a myth that lets these companies off easy, there's no ruling that says you have to maximize profit at all costs, or at all to an extent. The sole motivator is greed.

Efficacy and product quality aside, I think that's the point.

Obviously the problem is that Red no3 is so prevalent and completely unregulated. Alcohol is sold separately and ID is needed to purchase and isn't added to children's food. If the dye was only sold separately in bottles this deba

You can just buy or kill your competition via subsidizing your pricing. There's no appetite to legislate this anticompetitive behavior.

I live in a big city and unfortunately the local price gouging has gotten out of control. It's now often 50% cheaper to buy basics like aluminum foil and cereal on Amazon compared to even the discount dollar store.

Is it your opinion that chaos is universally bad? Heat (colloquially) increases entropy, and since we are so dependent on initial conditions (current climate) changing climate inherently causes chaos. Do you find the tundra too cold and dry

Obviously these sponsored segments are effective marketing otherwise no one would pay for them, but I'm sure they're far less effective with users who seek out tools like sponsorblock. One thing I've always wondered is do spo

Another thing to note is that the scheduling of the substances you speak of (and other non-scheduled like ozempic for example) merely puts them behind a prescription paywall--the wealthy have easy access to beneficial medicine and few to no

The graph doesn't differentiate nodes so I wouldn't draw a specific conclusion from it. The tens of billions of subsidies in the CHIPS act may seem like a lot but the semiconductor business can be brutally expensive.

Polyvinylidene chloride wrap somehow isn't widely regulated yet in the US, the formula for popular plastic wrap was voluntarily changed. AFAIK you can still get the "good" stuff at restaurant supply stores and certain retaile

These companies have spent a ton of money to convince lawmakers and consumers that they are not in the food delivery (or taxi) business. The whole plan was to not have to deal with these pesky regulations.

IP laws--should any even apply--won't prevent any state from using this material should the claims be proven true.
