It's still a form of rent seeking. They charge 2% because nobody else has the capability to create an alternative. It's preferable for a government to reduce rent seeking as it makes the economy more productive, eg by limiting the fee.

Age and city isn't all that identifying, I don't see anything useful there that isn't already in census etc. They are just doing it because YouTube promotes highly commented videos, hence the old saying "like, comment and subscribe"

That doesn’t mean that you can’t purchase it for x tons of carbon and use that to set the price.


That’s not how markets work though. For instance, just because one share of AAPL sold at $270 does not mean all 15 billion outstanding shares can be sold for that price.

They still have to request every 5 pages separately so they could be caught for requesting pages faster than you could realistically tap through the book on an actual phone or tablet.


They do. But the Cobalt version is still used on new TVs and to view new videos with new features, so it can't just be a time capsule.



It all links back to preventing renewable energy and maintaining our dependence on fossil fuel imports from autocratic nations and "big enough to lobby" O&G industry. The locals and their dislike of power lines are just convenient pawns.
