Collectively agreeing to raising prices is anti-competitive collusion and illegal.

Collectively raising prices is anti-competitive coordination and legal.

Pandemic and supply shocks is a perfect excuse to do the latter.

Good luck to whoever is trying to solve this.

The patent story reveals a lot.

Government:

  • creates and enforces a patent system

Also government:

  • does essential research and doesn't patent their own discoveries

Do you think an average person in 13th century had a better quality of life than an average person living in the 21st century?

Is that a "random person on the Internet" take or something substantiated?

Most statements I don't have qualms with, but from my understanding, "liberals embrace ID politics" seems way off. I could see an argument that there's some kind of split across people who'd identify as or match a typical understanding of a liberal, along the ID politics line, given that it's so divisive. Id say liberal as a concept existed way before ID politics, do when that became prominent, a lot of people got split along that line. I.e. Far right probably split 90:10, Conservatives probably split 75:25, Liberals probably split closer to 50:50, while social left split 25:75, far left split 10:90 and libertarians split 1:99.
