You think China doesn't regulate tech? Regulation drives innovation.

I think the Chinese Great Firewall was a good idea, in hindsight. The EU should strive for equivalent infrastructure.

That is exactly my point. Local artisan bakers are being priced out by crappier quality baking shops due to their economy of scale. The market optimizes for the cheapest slop made by the biggest conglomerate, the opposite of what I want.

Any market inherently results in consolidation. My local bakery is a giant chain. My local butcher has been driven out of business by supermarket chains.

All of which were created by capitalist imperialism , my point exactly. The hunger games are a dystopia, even if the upper classes live a sweet life. You're just lucky enough to live in the Capitol of global capitalism.

When something emerges, you can either embrace it or you can fight it. When a cancer emerges, one doesn't usually embrace it. I suggest we treat markets the same way.

Instead of a re-run of horror utopias, we have actual open horror dystopias now. Yay!

"Actual factory owners" also said getting rid of child labor would bankrupt them; they said the same thing about sick leave and a whole number of other now standard measures. I'm sorry, but you don't ask the fox if the c

Nokia should have been nationalized. It doesn't need to be a local autarky. It could be something more similar to Comintern.

Again, the only ones pushing for it is the Council, which is the heads of national governments, nothing else. The Parliament is against it. The Commission is against it. It's only the national governments that are pushing for it. ht

Chat Control is being pushed by national governments, either directly or through the meeting of their leaders, the Council. EU institutions are the ones continuously keeping it at bay.

It is absolutely viable to produce steel with much lower emissions. Hell, doing so would be a competitive advantage. We don't need to be stuck with centuries old technology.
