But economic viability -> competition -> research and development -> economic growth

You can create subsidies which are inverse to the stores income. It doesn’t HAVE to go to large chains. There are many way to encourage small businesses to open. Competing with them is not one.

But as others said, groceries are working on minimal margin. And all of them work with the same wholeselles (except those with vertical integrations), and this is a nation wide problem.

The municipality which has monopoly on land taxes and costs will compete with stores that must pay taxes and rent? Won’t it just cause neighboring stores to close?

Won’t a better option be subsidizing taxes for grocery stores, and let the discounts competitively pass unto the customers?

I can add more if that’s not “terroristy” enough for you.

Good ol genocidal Bulgaria I guess huh?

In June we had the 12th day war with Iran, it also ended with a ceasefire which continued to negotiations which collapsed and here we are.

Now, a ceasefire again, and people already claiming that Iran has won and trump accepted their demands.

I’ve seen people saying at first that Iran didnt agree to the ceasefire and then saying that they won’t open the strait. Completely oblivious people.

Typing the chat box is slow, rendering lags and sometimes gets stuck altogether.

I have a research chat that I have to think twice before messaging because the performance is so bad.

First, mcp, like cli, like api, is a kind of (user facing) interface, just not graphical. It still needs to be designed, just by different people with differing skills.

Second, textual interface can only go so far in terms of information ingestion. Trying to describe a complex relationship between entities can be extremely difficult with text. However, a good graphical interface will make complex information easier to digest.

So in my opinion, the moat will emphasize organization which knows how to plan good a custom experience, whether graphical or textual, and less where tables and forms are the main business

Not like Iran would ever have a misfire that results in hundreds of dead…

Let’s perform a thought experiment. Israel is 8 million Jews, half of the country is an unpopulated desert, our largest border is with Jordan which is barely defensible. And you think that we want to conquer Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Iraq? With what army? How can we support such a conquest? How will we defend that border? Sharing a border with Iran? How will 8 million Jews handle the 40 million Muslims that will allegedly be conquered? This makes so little sense that believing it just exposes your radical bias.
