Because most right wing memes are created by professionals. Left wing memes are genuine grass root creations.

The best grass root memes the right can come with is "let's go Brandon", which while catchy is about as meaningful as farting into a microphone.

Yep. Most of the time online you won't convince the person you're arguing against, BUT to convince people reading the thread. For the most part, arguing online is performative, for the purpose of the audience rather than the participants.

No, not everything in that list applies to every industry. The car market isn't a monopoly, but it definitely has issues with government and regulatory capture (and perhaps others, I'm not expert in auto manufacturing). But even without those issues the nature of car making today gives it a high barrier of entry for new comers.

And as others pointed out, the fact it's not a monopoly leads to more unpopular ideas being scrapped.

Under capitalism it's always been the case of"what is this worth to you". The difference is in the past if a company overcharges then a competitor could come along and undercut them (so long as the gap was big enough that it made financial sense).

Unfortunately, monopolies, regulatory/government capture, vertical integration, marketing and cartels have gotten so far out of control that consumers are left with little choice but to suck it up. And most governments in the Anglosphere don't really care.

Unless he fucks up completely and repeatedly crashes out, Sargeant will keep his seat.

True, for me it also depends on how the Burger is constructed. Often the lettuce is put on the bottom, I want to get straight to the meat and not have the taste masked by lettuce. But it depends on the burger.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing. I always associated the change with the adoption of T20 batting styles into longer form cricket. So it's cool to hear about its evolution in the Shield

Not yet this season, but I have the past few seasons. My decks are always changing, but unless Rogue and Enchantress are popular I find Dark Hawk to still be very strong, I like to run him with SHIELD and Devil Dino.

Pretty much bang on, the RBA has essentially one tool at their disposal. Even if their decisions are perfect, poor fiscal policy will damage the economy and the RBA can at most put a bandaid on those wounds.

Nice that there's only double ups on Saturdays, going to give people a chance to watch as much as possible.

Seems a bit odd that India v Australia is on Sunday, is that considered a good timeslot?
