Well done.
One time I went into Trader Joe's and was overjoyed because they had Leibniz cookies, (generic) Fig Newtons, and Bagels Spinoza.

One of my core beliefs is that outside a certain bare level of "that person's well read, quantitatively adept, can communicate well" (admittedly already fairly exclusive) people can't really evaluate intelligence meaningfully. But confident people always stand out

"You're not fighting a fascist government, you're fighting fascists who happen to control what is currently authoritarian-sh government" seems like it should come with a pretty strongly worded "here's why i bother with the hair-splitting" statement

I bet there are a few. Some of the academics I know spend a substantial amount of time chatting up wealthy people while not thinking too hard about the persons ethics.

Some version of this applies to large sectors of society right now and it is vital that it not be an accepted defense. It’s the “I was just following orders“ of partisan debate.

I think people don't realize the narrowness of a prosecutorial case.
The emails show without a reasonable doubt that Trump lied repeatedly about his relationship with Epstein and that Trump is a scumbag deeply enmeshed with Epstein. They don't show beyond doubt that he violated any given statute

Americans tend to brag about how little they sleep, and (anecdotally) Japan has a culture that valorizes overwork, so I'm assuming there's a large helping of that here

Most places have ratemaking principles that include scaling rates to ”cost to serve” which includes distribution costs, load shape and predictability.
whether these costs are allocated accurately is another question but this is generally not considered a subsidy

The flip side of this particular brand of enshittification is that the stuff you're actually paying for (looking at you, apple tv) is so encumbered by verification processes that it's about 80% less usable.
