    Quantity of shelves stacked isn't a typical measure of value in an organisation. If a CEO can help lead the team to make shelf stacking easier (e.g. pre-sortation, introduce self r…

    State where the value is then, without just stating features that cause lock-in. You can't blindly just call me an idiot and say there's loads of value without stating what it is (…

    The reason the 30% rate is sustained though IS the abuse of market power with the PMFN clause, which ensures that competitors cannot price lower. Everything else is an attempt to s…

    I'm not sure on that: 1) Lots of people think they are partly complicit in all the skins trading/gambling that children do, which is basically skirting gambling laws. This has culm…

    It's 100% about control - it's the same in the UK. Last year it was about having to scan your face to verify your age to access porn (to protect the children). They said: It's not …

    Blame language evolving over time rather than OP, octocopter is a widely-used term for '8 propellor drones'. A nit pick with your post - you use the word 'ambiguous' but really thi…

    > 'I think [...] I think [...] maybe [...] maybe [...] maybe [...]' Sounds more like a vague prediction of what the future might be like rather than an iron-clad claim.

    I don't see why you can't do that? There's plenty of things that cost money that legislation forces companies to do anyway, regardless of if there is a 'funding source' or not. Alt…
