People are rightfully criticizing the hypocrisy of U.S protectionism while touting ‘free market capitalism’ which they have used as a cudgel to inflict their imperialism on the rest of the world.
People who can’t see this probably think their U.S is a bastion of freedoms and democracy.
That selling to the next buyer who throws money at you obviously leads to risks of getting shutdown. People don’t want or care about long term sustainability and cry when business daddy decides that record profits this year don’t match up with imaginary made up profit growth and hence declare this as a failure.
Edit: “Making good, profitable games ‘will no longer keep you safe’” But only if you sold your soul for a bunch of retirement money from Bethesda or whoever else. If you are so keen on that sweet retirement exit then your studio was doomed the moment somebody offered the founders to a buyout. I am baffled at how people are missing this obvious conclusion.

Ok then that means we have to consider the fact that Car-oriented zoning laws and construction are bad for our future. 15-minute cities and infrastructure to support alternative modes of transit for longer distances are the way forward.
The problem is that highway advocates don’t solve the problem of “who’s going to pay for all this?”. The reason infrastructure in America is in disrepair is that funding for highways is supposed to be gotten from tolls and road taxes. But since everywhere in America is a freeway… there’s no funding for repairs.
Expecting the Government budget to cover maintenance of infrastructure is wishful thinking… unless you’re also willing to agree that the military is allocated too much money.
Roads are fundamental to the operation of any government. It isn’t simply that states need to maintain roads. It is that states need roads in order to exist.
Is it right to say then, that the users of the roads pay for maintenance? Do you expect the government to print more money to pay for maintenance?
Edit:
Regressive taxation leads to overfunded main roads and underfunded side streets.
As opposed to both main roads and side streets being underfunded without tolls and road taxes? Do you expect Government to print money to pay for all this?
who will be directly impacted by the policy, and yeah got upset when the best argument presented was a personal attack.
You deliberately ignored or hand-waved away all the adverse health effects of Gas Stoves and when people called you out on that, you’re saying it’s a personal attack?
Now you going to start demanding some accountability from the people flying on private jets and yachts who cause more air pollution issues per hour than a small car centric meat eating town does in a year
Who said I wasn’t? Two things can be done at the same time. You’re saying “I refuse to change unless everybody else changes” which sounds asinine.
or are you going to find ways to support landlords not having to give free heat to tenants?
It’s not my responsibility to innovate for your business. You’re supposed to be the business owner who has to be accountable for the impacts of your product on the society and the environment. After all you take all the profits but you don’t want any of the responsibility?
I am asking to be polite btw, I know which you are going to do.
Just like you assumed that phasing out LPG stoves is bad only because it forces you to actually do work to add value to your customers
“Their frustration is understandable, but this kind of expectation betrays a misunderstanding of what’s actually driving food prices higher in this country.”
Your example is not at all comparable to a corporation facing music over profiteering.
The angry mob in your example doesn’t see proof and is not the same as a shopper who is able to experience the price-gouging right in front of their eyes.
Bro if you can’t understand development that you think you need someone to give you “a command or two” to setup your own shit when people from all kinds of devices (x86, arm, PPC, etc) and all kinds of OS (windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc) have potential to contribute;

The “how good you have it” part could be taken away in seconds if you look at a cop wrong. Cops need to be level headed and not trigger happy. It should be a disqualification if the first reaction to any situation is to pull the trigger on your gun.
Maybe you should correct yourself on the fact that Iran is not the palistinian people, Israel is not Jews. Conflating these things is going to lead you to side with oppressors.
