Yeah. Cause Trump is using tariffs to coerce favourable EU policy for American corporations. Make the regulation changes exclude foreign firms and watch Trump screech about 100% tariffs on EU imports.

What the actual fuck.

It's still informative. His other stuff is good too.

Given how good American companies are at profit maximization, do we expect American military equipment to be anything but exorbitantly overpriced?

Good vid but he's falling a bit for the corporate propaganda that costs determine prices and that consumers have real power over price setting. Most firms maximize prices while minimizing costs. Consumers have especially little market power in a consolidated market like home appliances.

Indeed. The hard lesson that I learned over my 20 years of experience with FOSS is that the social infrastructure around a piece of software is more important than the exact details of the technology itself such as programming languages, frameworks, patterns, etc. And the license is a part of that social infrastructure.

On a technical level, that's cool.

On a practical level MIT-licensed OS better not get much mindshare. Cue everything that happened with important projects under permissive licenses over the last decade. E.g. Android, Chromium. I used to dgaf and was even quite excited about stuff like Fuscia OS. Boy did we dodge a bullet there with Google abandoning it.

Specifically US corporate interests.

I imagine this is good for Eby?

Anyone from BC to speculate on the implications?

Beautiful. Not becacause I'm a big fan of vets but because this adds more evidence that candidates with good leftist message can win despite not being squeaky clean. This is important because it lowers the bar and cost for such candidates. Cleanliness is costly.

I don't know Quebec enough but I feel that a leader with a genuine improve-the-lives message along with an apology for bad French might not do too badly. People like being honest and they tend to take note when your policy is about to make their lives better.
