If you want true reciprocity there, China would either need to stop subsidizing their carmakers, or the US would need to add heavy tariffs to their cars to level the playing field.
Either you knew that already and you're making a bad faith argument, or you don't understand the concept of censorship.
On Mastodon, the fragmented network of servers and the need to grasp federation mechanics mirrors the intricate web of European policies, where navigating localized laws and cross-border harmonization can feel like wading through red tape.
Both present an ostensibly open and decentralized structure, promising freedom and community-led participation, yet are riddled with complexities that bewilder newcomers.
Also because there aren't adequate transit options to use instead of driving.
This stuck out to me. I wonder what NYC and Minneapolis are doing right that California should be doing to better maintain their roads?
It's the majority of users. Those who "follows only few active others" are a very small subset.

The "30% of your salary" rule for housing stems from U.S. federal housing policy. It was first introduced in 1969 under the Housing and Urban Development Act as part of the government's effort to define affordable housing.
25%-30% was a benchmark used in housing assistance programs to determine eligibility for federal aid. If households spent more than 30% of their income on rent, they were considered "rent burdened" and might qualify for subsidies.

> person who came up with the “3 months salary for a ring” rule
That was good old De Beers. In the 1980s, they promoted the idea that spending two months' salary on a ring was appropriate, which later increased to three months in some markets.

So it's not water usage that evaporates and can cause droughts, it can be heavily recycled back into the system.
Non-profit =/= the product is free. The vast majority of hospitals and universities are non-profit, and their product/service sure as hell isn't free.
Nonprofits operate under a non-distribution constraint, meaning any surplus revenues must be reinvested into the organization's mission rather than distributed to private ownership.
What they've lost faith in is running a business with a free product.
On what planet is this ok?
In reality, in the vast majority of cases, the employers have much more leverage, and therefore non-competes aren't used as a negotiating tool for both parties, they're used by employers to stifle competition for labor and therefore stifle salaries.
The free market works best when competition isn't stifled, and the name of the clause is literally a "non-compete".
