I can find my phone with my watch.

Even then, it seems smarter to go with China or India since those countries will actually consume the raw materials being produced by these countries.

I feel like you are going to hit a wall regarding streaming rights costs. Also, based on overhead costs and scaling, it will probably encourage fewer music streamers instead of more.

With Uber, they started with ride sharing and slowly nudged its way towards being a car-for-hire business. The reason it worked was because no one really liked taxis and didn't want to defend that monopoly.

Today, cities are trying to regulate places like Airbnb to reduce their presence in major cities, but the only real hate towards Uber and Lyft has more to deal with employee pay.

That might have been the case in 2016. I think that changed after the election of 2020.

The only alternative to an elected legislature (parliaments are different from congresses) is either direct democracy or one party rule.

I find it easier to respond to long emails because I can have all the documentation for the old email up and the text for the new email. Phones don't typically have the screen real estate to do that.

This isn't meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.
