The difference is that the 'Big Oil' companies deliver a product that everybody uses. When subsidies are distributed, it lowers all of our cost to burn oil. For better or worse, but the petroleum industry isn't a boutique operation for the upper middle class, like Tesla is.
Your Freshman English professor weeps when they see you not capitalizing a proper noun like Science in the way that you use the word.
And Jesus Fucking Christ! The whole scientific process involves 'arguing with science' and doing so vigorously, at all times. Question everything, believe nothing whole-cloth.
Licensed macOS computers would imply that Apple had produced an open documented hardware platform. They haven't, and they can't except at huge expense. And they won't because that isn't their chosen market segment.
Apple thrives on being a fractional player in the PC and the Cellphone market. Their whole market approach is to skim off some of the people who will pay extra.
Believe it when you are told that 'your side' has no compunction about manipulating ordinary peoples' perceptions based on their experience in the weather, when they can be manipulated into accepting 'climate change' theories as established fact.
As of February 2018, there are 175 states that are parties to the Berne Convention. This includes 172 UN member states plus the Cook Islands, the Holy See and Niue.
That's a creative way of dancing around the fact that the United States is not a party to it.
We the public choose to not allow the entire political agenda to be steered by the shrieking minority who lost the election.
Nobody cares about Hillary Clinton's underwear (esp. Bill, btw). We do care about rampant corruption. Which is being ignored during all this deflection about 'Russian collusion'. Also, because it doesn't matter, the foul Clinton Machine was defeated.
What other nationalities would you like to exclude from discussion forums? Latvians? Spaniards? The British?
Should we establish an Americans Only Internet? Should we exclude any other classes of people? The handicapped can't participate in forums concerning wine and cigars? Women can't participate in forums about sports cars?
I have visited the Official Reddit Forum for an online game. It is a forum moderated by employees of said online game. It's plain to anybody who observes that the whole function of operating that forum is to 'soak up all of the oxygen' of discussion surrounding that game. The discussion is vigorously steered by the mods of the forum.
Sure, unofficial subreddits could be formed, and people could have frank discussions of the game on other forums, but it's a PVP mmo and the people who care really don't have time to be out finding forums for the game. It's even more constrained on the actual official game forums, of course, where a 'female' mod flounces through from time to time being the 'soft' mod in the discussion.
I suspect the 'Official' subreddit is a sponsored operation. It's a game with that sort of people operating it.
Are you a West Cost Troll, or an East Coast Troll? Which? We need to know so we can tabulate your group's infiltration of the discussion. Your nationality matters, you know....

Get a fucking clue.
Yes, that's one of Google's jobs as the maintainer of the Google Play Store.
Apple does the same with their App Store.

Wow. And in what other ways should these 'other nationalities' be prohibited from expressing public opinions?
The people who accepted that the election happened, and that one side won, and are carrying on with their lives are a large majority.
Your hatred will eventually consume you. Be careful. Let it go sometimes. Everything isn't political 24/7.
unless you're just one of the crapflooders. Never mind, then.
But they then wouldn't collect their stipend for attending!!!

'Science' is not a political ratchet to tighten around people whose actions you oppose.
The universe does not care. It doesn't care about socialism, capitalism, Libertarianism, Anarchism, or any other fucking -ism.
Nice work. You've defined a new -ism. Scienceism. I suppose we should let you appoint the 'scientists' to be the rulers under this new -ism.
Sounds good. Tariff away, China. Maybe put tariffs in place that block sale of US Capital Equipment to Chinese manufacturers.

We have it on record. All two or three of the Anonymous Cowards spamming this discussion care. Very much.
And we presume, you speak for Anonymous Coward.

The investigation will disappear in a puff of greasy smoke.
Eventually. After the pundits find something else interesting to hype.
Tim is just a figure-head, somebody who came up with an idea and put it on his NeXT workstation.
He was probably a crummy scientist and is better off not being at CERN anyway.
He is definitely prudent. You don't ride the gravy train successfully with a blunt approach.
And yeah, the right wing part matters, since it's the right wing laissez faire idealism..(boring shit truncated)
Politics is a big dirty flapping bird. It couldn't fly around without both wings.
People who carry on endlessly about one wing or the other are just being stupid. And covered with bird shit, like the rest of us.
Listen to the swinging-dick he-man, carrying on about somebody on the Internet that he disagrees with. Anonymously.
Apple products are better characterized as the Buick of the consumer electronics marketplace.
There are many other car makes that one can choose. Or you can get your Buick. More expensive than some, and hey, it's a brand to rally around.
Apple can barely support their software on the tiny subset of hardware that they themselves make.
It's always been that way.
We seem to agree. There are stupid people out there with tattoos.
How honest and brave we are!
