I still wanna know what the deal was with that burning Tesla in front of the Trump hotel in Las Vegas. That was some mafia shit and we all just moved on cause this entire era is insane.

    I said this exact thing to multiple Australian universities and government heads.

    Not only would it save money, it would develop local industry and expertise.

    No reply of course. No one's interested if it doesn't help make them rich!

    Wow four whole supermarket chains? That's double Australia, where we have just two.

    I'd wager it's more or less the same structural reasons as Canada though.

    100% this. A lot of local town regulation is implemented under a guise of community protection and wellbeing. Then in practise it displaces local businesses and replaces them with big corporate setups that can navigate the new rules more easily. They'll fine someone for not installing a ramp, but not provide that same ramp to the local park.
