How about instead of giving those "incentives" to businesses, we give them to the general populace.
Businesses would then go after the money, by providing what the populace is asking for. And if they can't. Boo hoo. Someone will.
Of course a company would say that they don't want a monopoly publicly. If it's known they are, or want a monopoly, then they are more likely to fall in public favor and get hit with fines and legal action, hurting shareholder profits.
You have a lot of faith that capitalism won't do a capitalism when the opportunity presents itself.
Yes Europe has a lot better hold against the evils of capitalism, but it's still capitalistic.
Nah. The C suite would love it if they were the only game in town.
Shareholder profits and stock goes through the roof. They don't have competition so they don't have to innovate or improve anything but profits. They get a HUGE bump in net worth and "retire" while still collecting their board approved stock options.
Yes the company would eventually kill a ton of people and might be shut down like Boeing, but "I got mine, fuck you".
The government should pass a law that it's required to vote, or give a reasonable explanation why you can't.
Employers are punished for keeping their employees from voting.
I don't think you'd actually "notice" the gravity.
Earth would still retain it's mass, and we're much closer to it, so it's lesser mass acts much more on us than the sun's greater.
Though, the earth would stop orbiting the sun and travel on a mostly tangential path travel nearly radially away from where the sun was, instead of the elliptical path it currently travels.
This is a very interesting physics question that I may look into further. Specifically what would the theoretical acceleration be, due to the lack of the sun? Is it above a humans level of perception?
"golden" dildos, at $1000.
But if you opt for the "I've always supported you, and believe all your lies" version for $100,000 you can get the ultra special trump bucks dildo, modeled off your savior trump's dick itself*. (*Note: all special versions are the same as the regular, any and all payments are recurring subscriptions and cannot be cancelled except in person)
I can see a bit of your point about "too moderate" worries, but in reality this is the time for people to vote for the future.
Might as well go for broke on the bet, because if it goes wrong we're all fucked anyways.
Either we choose to have a fucking dictatorship, or we choose a progressive leadership the next 4 years (if the scRotuM and legislative bodies aren't included)
Personally I'm excited that someone "so old" actually seems to care about anyone younger than they are. We need that kind of person in leadership.
I always screw that up.
Thanks
