LOL, that's not anger. At best it's exhaustion, which has become my typical reaction to people taking a dump on a thread and demanding answers to tired old bullshit that's been answered a thousand ways before.

My guess? Watching too much CNBC or Fox Business.

Your understanding of regulation only considers freedom on the side of business and not the freedoms of everyone those regulations protect from corporate malfeasance. You don't get that "socialism" includes things like worker cooperatives that should be the ideal of market commerce. Your concept of freedom seems to exclude the concept of positive freedoms. Your idea of capitalism ignores the coersive reality that workers without the means of production live under. I could go on but I'm not sure I could ever stop finding new issues, which is quite amazing.

In short, your comment contains nothing that isn't straight up corporate propaganda from someone with not enough curiosity about the world and privileges that have allowed you to remain ignorant.

Yikes. I know it shouldn't surprise me anymore, but I'm still shocked at how deeply so many people have absorbed this nonsense.

It would seem to be rational that the less mass of metal in a connection, the faster that connection will charge or discharge voltage. Physical sockets require a lot more mass just to ensure solid contact.

Not that I support either but, if corporations get free speech, why wouldn't AI?

Not that I care what they want, but I think most would prefer to be yeeted.

Mainly because the major streaming services wouldn't allow their platforms to run on it.

I know it's not the actual definition but, to me, capitalism is literally "rule by capital". Every move we can make that reduces the leverage of the wealthy is progress away from capitalism. Universal single payer healthcare and a significant UBI would be powerful in that regard.

Sometimes it may be subsidized somewhat, sure, but the vast majority of it is coming out of pocket for these companies.

You seem awfully sure about that. What are you basing it on? MRNA research alone was massively funded with taxpayer money. Coding for new proteins is almost trivial compared to what went into developing the technology.
