Let's imagine that it does hurt corporate profits first. Will they survive? Probably the big ones, might be a bit harder for little ones. So the world keeps turning, right? But like you said the end customer will eat some of the costs, so we agree that prices will go up in the end.

Where's the upside? More money funneled into the government? Paid by the increased prices for the consumer, or some dips in corporate profits?

I'm not sure that's a win for the ~~consumer~~ normies.

Yep, and I'm sure the corporations will just take that hit on their margins and not have any retaliation.

Why is the M upside-down?

The DNS system is still just computers/servers, so anything from overloading a server to outright man-in-the-middle type attacks can compromise the DNS (though this is where you'd get into how the DNS communicates, propagates, and distributes trust, which is a topic that I have little knowledge on)

How far back in the day are you thinking? I'm pretty sure recreational drugs have been around for a long while.

I think the framing needs to show that it isn't going to be "more work", it's just different work. The people being tasked with this clean up would've been doing something else, not just standing around.

So the way I understand it is that the elves can sail to the Undying Lands. And by doing that they use the "straight road" and just take a hard pass on gravity and sail tangent to the round earth

As an answer to your not-a-question, I think it would imply that Arda is an absolutely massive planet, such that your sight line would be further.

I'm unfamiliar with the mineral rights treaty specifics, but I remember it being said that it was a pretty shite deal for Ukraine anyway, and that it likely wouldn't have been signed anyway

I only went back to read the comment because you told me you upvoted it. I wanted to make sure it was worthy.

I don't understand what those two categories are for. "All" and "No Among"? Is it breaking down the "no" responses?
