So then it's not the risk scaring them away, it's their inability to even install Linux in the first place.

They are competent at allocating resources according to market tendencies, which, if the economy is mismanaged by the government, can cause damage...

...and this is why since the economy is very complex it csn't be effectively managed by the government.

So they'll be competent once a thing that can't be done... gets done? When/where do you think the wealthy did do a good job of managing society's resources?

successful government intervention should prevent them, as it has for quite a while.

What year is this comment from? 2008? 2020? Right now?

Sorry bro but you're stuck in the 2000s and coping hard. You immediately went from "they manage resources effectively" to "well um the govt messed up those resources, but not the stuff that went well, and I'm just talking about prices anyways".

If they were competent at allocating resources, then the 2008 Financial Crisis never would have happened. They're just the ones in charge, with no better information than anyone else. So we might as well just vote on how to spend the taxes.

An easy way to prevent capital flight is to increase Land Value Taxes.

What makes your position unenviable is not its score.

It's a hilarious failure to gaslight an entire town hall by himself.

Something is wrong. My Windows machine at work will run smoothly for weeks, only rebooting for updates. Have you tried closing everything but explorer?

Have you ever had to edit the registry?

Also if the laptop you buy comes pre-installed with windows what would motivate a regular joe to go out of his way to install Linux on it and risk messing things up by making a mistake.

Being able to boot to a flash drive to make sure it will work?

I thought the same thing; it's a very visible cost-cutting signal. How do we know they haven't replaced the editor and writer with AI too?
