@AJX-2 For the guild members, yes. As did the phoebus cartel for light bulb makers. (And isn't it strange that even with LEDs today, which could run 10K+ hours, they often burn out around the 1K mark?)

@lifevest1 Wow that's some clasicism right there. 1) If you really mix people, you stop having "near", because it's even closer than near. 2) The "limitless negatives" are often quite limited and anyway, you see the bad parts, but not the good parts because you assume the good parts are not subsidized and you attribute bad "non-subsidized" as being subsidized. It's a bit like one of those "hidden millionaires" comedies where the fraudster is getting the VIP treatment and the millionaire is hired to clean the forgotten backyard.

NIMBYs are everywhere. Like with wind power. "I don't want that in my sight? Why don't you build them in the city? The energy is for the city people after all, I hav eno benefit from it!" (As if people in the suburbs/villages don't use electricity. But just imagine telling those village NIMBYs who drive with their car into the town daily for work, that the city should get rid of car roads (or at least the big arteries in/out of the city). After all, the city dwellers don't use them, why should they pay for roads that mostly used by the suburbanites who don't even want wind turbines to be build!!
