Well, I didn't, but can you tell me your why your way of thinking doesn't apply across the board?

Bingo.

So righteousness falls upon the vulnerable? I guess I'll tell my drug addicted cousin he's all good because he's vulnerable. You can be moral by being against the will of someone w…

Your logic can be extended indefinitely. Are we torturing pedophiles by forcing them not to abuse children? What about murderers? Society coalesced for a reason.

They are not doing this for anti-monopoly reasons. It's purely because they thought the tech companies had more data, and therefore more power than them. One of the examples I've s…

'Poverty alleviation' is one of their current blockbuster initiatives that gets massive air time. TV shows, documentaries, news reports, all focused on how committed the government…

Didi doesn't have a monopoly in China. Meituan is also a large player in the space along with hundreds of tiny ones.

It hasn't been a happy time for Ottawa's LRT. They've been scrambling to buy up buses to take over during LRT shutdowns. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/transit-update-commis…
