You might not have children but you do benefit from other people having children, just because you don't "take" as much as you're paying doesn't mean you don't indirectly benefit from the effects it has on society.

I would say that it's not an act of war against Samsung but South Korea which should be a difference.

So to be fair, it makes much more sense to talk about per capita in this context as there is also just more consumers in China than the US [0] And then it is also important to look at Consumption-based vs. production-based emissions. Ultimately less emissions are less emissions even if others don't follow.

From a consumer perspective the phone number model is much more usable though. You buy the service from a carrier but you can still keep your number when you change carrier due to it being regulated. No need to buy phone numbers separate from the service.

The sentiment expressed in your post is dangerous populism against an imaginary "other".

In case anyone actually believes this and is not just trolling on a throwaway then check at least the broadest of breakdowns of public spending to see "what you get" [0].

> the worshiped and beatified “universal healthcare” that is “free” in Europe where massive taxes are paid to augment the also massive individual monthly cost taken out of people’s paychecks

Worth noting that American per capita spending on healthcare is much higher compared to European countries despite a lower life expectancy.

This concept has been proposed by Dwork and Naor in 1992 to fight email spam. [0]

some chips are designed in Austin and San Jose but Cambridge is not only a business HQ

> We established the infrastructure bit to not be true

Questionable

> Education: so why are students then paying tuition fees?

When I went to uni in the EU I payed 280€ per semester which the majority of went to free public transportation, not tuition fees.

> Google can send their entire staff for 4 years of Ivy League college and have money leftover

And yet they don't, ever wonder why?

So you conveniently ignore funds for research, subsidies, as well as oversight and regulation.

They still have offices in those countries, use infrastructure, benefit from education, especially higher education as well as the access to a fair and regulated market.

I wonder how many surgeons do operations at home.

Some McDonnell Douglas DC-X engineers would probably have something to say about your comment too.

You wouldn't be comfortable using their service because you might need to wait a day during support questions?

According to Glassdoor the average "programmer" salary in the Netherlands is 60.000€ ($67.000) [0] compared to 74.000€ ($84.000) in San Francisco [1]

Rimac would be the supercar equivalent for EVs I guess

> a less competitive teacher

whats that supposed to mean?

I think we have very different definitions of "a bargain".

And suddenly Uber/Lyft are like any other Taxi company just with a massive valuation.

Also does that include repairs, depreciation, insurance etc. of the car? What about fuel?

> No-one would move, ever. People wouldn't be able to change jobs even for much higher salaries or better conditions. Children would live with their parents forever. Many people would live precariously in illegal sublets with inadequate fire exits etc.

Why?

Without the Airbus deal for the C-Series Bombardier was basically in bankruptcy exactly because of those tariffs. It felt like quite a targeted attempt to, as you put it, suppress competitors.

so why does it matter what he originally "asks" for. The court will decide not the accuser.

Bombadier literally was ended by the US government

Snowden [0] made very broad allegations against the NSA in that regard.

The US has been caught doing industrial espionage as well, more of a pest or cholera situation here.

There is a recent Bloomberg story in regards to Nigel Farage and pound shorting during the referendum [0]
