That’s not really an ad hom. I don’t think you run a petrol station, so I’m not calling you a moron

It just economically make no sense that you’d have 3 different businesses that close together with wildly different prices. Like who would ever go to the expensive one? And why?

I actually don’t believe you. $1 difference in petrol price and people still go to the expensive one? You’d have to be a moron surely

Right, but the in order for the other station to not go out of business they have to match. But are incentivised to beat that price by a further 10c to increase the amount of business they get See where I’m going?

Only if the price is actually increasing. Otherwise you’d just sell cheap petrol and put them out of business

I can’t find any solid evidence for this Pakistan claim. I see that an anonymous source reached out to one outlet, but I haven’t found anything to corroborate Seems a bit tenuous thus far. Do you have any evidence you’ve seen in particular?

In what world are those imperialist projects? Can you qualify that in some way? Let’s go with 1, say Pakistan

What imperialism is America doing currently?

But besides that, even if your nation is doing imperialist things surely you would agree that maintaining an army to not get your country absolutely destroyed by any other country at any time is valid

Do you believe that a nation has no need for weapons?

Or rather is it immoral for a nation to keep and equip a defence force?

The only thing I can think of is if a significant portion of people self diagnose as autistic and they really aren’t. Say they’re convinced by some silly stereotypes they’ve heard

That won’t impact that person. But it could mean other people starting to take it much less seriously in others which may be harmful to them I don’t pretend to know if that would happen. But just a thought

You don’t need to pay dividends to shareholders if it isn’t in the companies best interest. I don’t see how simply being publicly traded means you can’t hold a cash reserve
