> But remember, the economies of scale first make things more the same and reduce variety, then enable eliminating competitors from the market, thus enabling enshittification at scale Source?

Might be good to confirm that this is actually happening first :) Hysteria typically doesn’t lead to particularly good policy

So Bezos has produced a more efficient option and was rewarded for it? I already said I like Amazon, you don’t have to convince me

Sounds like the economy of scale option produced better results for consumers :)

Not thrilled about it but it would be way better than this

Why don’t they just have tariffs? It would be more honest haha

Not what the article says at all.

I’d have no problem with this as long as the building makes it known that it contains asbestos. Infinite scroll is immediately evident. Just don’t use it if you don’t like it

Ah, I see, you have an emotional / personal investment in this topic. That’s why my harmless request for evidence offends you. I won’t engage further then because it won’t be productive. I’ll continue to call out baseless claims of cou

In what way was I being opaque? I have no obligation to say “Give me evidence (btw I disagree with you)” lol. I’m sorry that asking your side to support its claims is so offensive to you. I can’t say I relate to this mindset. It’s completel

I very much have an opinion on the subject and never claimed otherwise. My opinion is that lobbying is a nonissue and there’s very little money in politics, and that money doesn’t really impact political outcomes. What makes you think that

by tt24 4mo ago
It’s surprising to me as well. Such an innocuous question. Don’t fully understand why people found it offensive enough to flag.
46.
by tt24 4mo ago
Asking for evidence of claims is very offensive to those who don’t have any. They feel very strongly about a topic, but it’s entirely based on their various personal experiences. They arrive at the conclusion first, and then try to arrange

In what way did I bristle?

by tt24 4mo ago
There was nothing wrong or offensive with my phrasing.

by tt24 4mo ago
Do you have evidence that lobbying is what produced this outcome?

by tt24 4mo ago
How are those two things contradictory

by tt24 5mo ago
Don’t have any. Not concerned with whether you believe me or not

Feel free to cite something that proves that Australian diets are similar to American diets. I don’t believe claims made without evidence. Deaths are pretty much 1:1 with drug use. Us having more fentanyl deaths mean we have more fentanyl u

by tt24 5mo ago
I didn’t say obesity, I said unhealthy eating. Those aren’t the same thing. I straight up don’t believe the drug use one, we have way more fentalyl deaths than you and it’s not even close. You didn’t address crime. We have much more of it.
58.
by tt24 5mo ago
Yeah they are. Americans engage in more unhealthy eating, crime, and drug use than Australians. It’s very easy for me to believe that they’re 3 times as sick.

by tt24 5mo ago
Yeah because we consume way more than other countries

Dang, can we take a look at this one please? It’s not a productive, helpful, or interesting comment. Thanks!
