  8. do you guys have some weird definition of capitalism that exempts businesses under a certain size? plenty of businesses don't have that ambition. my favorite family owned restaurant shut down when their kids wanted to do other things even though there was nothing stopping them from continuing the business, opening franchise locations, etc.

  13. all it would take is not being subsidized by government grants for tesla to downsize or disappear, the electric car market seems to have leveled off naturally and other companies offer electric models anyway.

  19. if it's a galaxy it could be samsung or google, depends on which apps are being loaded. look into rooting if you want to get rid of them

  21. we're in the future dude, tech companies ARE the government. they have as much influence on your day to day as the state, or if you think they don't they have enough influence on everyone you know that it does affect you.
