Maybe because China is making big strides with space and reusable rockets just like they did with EVs and data centers while the world is just watching using their government powers to block and hamper SpaceX, Nvidia and Tesla etc. which unfortunately seem be the west's best and maybe only chance to stay ahead or catchup.
Conceding the EV race, and now the AI/robot/DC race and space race to China will probably ensure Taiwan will have a very bad time at some point.
Every time I have to wait a long time to get a doctor's appointment or the police won't arrive in time when crime is reported I ponder how it could have been if Amazon paid their taxes.
Sorry to hear this. The more ways to space the better.
very bad news for Taiwan
How so?

Ideally you run more than one or two experiments per year, though...

At least there is some justice.

Privately funded and thus unrelated. Maybe lobby for increasing the number of residency slots, which is the only government backed filter.
> police won't arrive in time when crime is reported
Vote for a different DA, also the police are paid with property taxes, which Amazon does pay, but only if they are local.
Who pays for a residency slot?
Patients and their insurance companies, presumably.
> Privately funded and thus unrelated
Very US-centric response. And even then, US government funding is a determinant of how many doctors are trained.
Doctors decide how many residencies there are. They keep it low to maintain their high salaries.
Easy fix - we should let every foreign doctor take a simple test to qualify for US license to practice medicine.
We should be importing doctors by the thousands.
Medical schools are mostly private. Harvard Med should maybe increase class size to 10000 if they think they should.
The bottleneck is the hospital training places (which recieve som govt funding), not in the schools.
This has nothing to do with anything, and Amazon’s payload is certainly paid back to them by Lockheed.
These are not in my opinion not related.
Public service performances are not necessarily budget-driven
We have that big issue in france where at equal budget (even inflation adjusted) a lot of stuff went downhill
Ah, yes, I too am outraged by medical scarcity caused by...

... convenient same-day shipping.
>... convenient same-day shipping
...replacing a significant part of the economy that paid its taxes with amazon who don't leading to budget cuts and so on.
That's the argument. Agree, disagree, don't engage, whatever, but what you've written here is

...nonsense.
Sometimes people try to keep the forum sensible, according to the house rules, maybe its a losing battle already lost.
