The idea that markets are driven by rational decision processes is the biggest con they teach in econ 101.

That’s just not true. Read the comments again.

Milk is a side hustle for the meat industry.

Cheese is colonizer food. Vegan cheese is good when it’s not trying to replicate a specific dairy cheese.

Cows milk is gross. Give me soy all day every day. Better tasting, better for you, better for the environment, better for the animals.

Vegans do this.

Someone owns the property where the factories are built.

I am furious at these comments. Please add some steamy gay minotaur sex scenes to your boring book immediately.

Tariffs are not going to encourage local producers. They’re just going to make the products more expensive for the consumers. If you want to encourage the industries to be built here, then subsudize their development.

There’s no reason to think that they won’t also lose US markets. I live in the US and trying to cut my reliance on US tech.

Buying used still inflates the price, giving Google more money. Plus, Google is now sending you firmware updates. I like Fairphone, and there are a few ROMs you can flash onto it. But unfortunately not grapheneOS. Maybe LineageOS (without MicroG) would be the least googly, but there would still be some Google bits and bobs you’d have to turn off. /e/OS is probably a bit more degoogled, except for MicroG, which is kind of a big exception. No android is completely degoogled, it seems. There is a promising Linux phone coming to Europe soon though, the Jolla phone, and I’m hoping it gets good reviews and then comes to the US.

I use Firefox, not interested in switching browsers, but from what I’ve read it doesn’t matter which browser I use. It’s on my to do list to try out jellyfin.

Yeah, I use Firefox, but I’ve also searched it and it seems that it just doesn’t work in Linux.

Hopefully, if there is a civil war, it will mean a new government actually for and by the people. Democrats will not be leading it, but that doesn’t mean they won’t start it.
