A pub must serve drink. It doesn't need to serve food.

In Ireland that distinction matters. It generally will affect other things, like what time and how loud music will be played, how the tables and chairs will be organised and what type. It will often affect opening hours and the price of a pint. Gastro pubs also tend to be much larger.

In North America it seems the vast majority of "pubs" are gastro pubs, possibly why that lady couldn't see the difference. I personally love micropubs and they never serve food other than crisps and maybe a toastie.

I feel like a pedant but I get that dude in his 20s and had to speak up.

There is a finite amount of money.

If you bomb your capacity to produce oil and consumers must pay more for oil that money comes from elsewhere i.e less video games. That is simply a price increase not inflation. It would like confusing the weather and climate. Inflation is defined as the "general increase in prices".

If you add money to the existing finite amount of money you get inflation.

Inflation comes from the monetary supply not government spending. If you want lower inflation, you increase interest rates to discourage loans and mortgages.

Amazon isn't the only place to buy things. There are millions of other retailers both online and offline.

Isn't the definition of a classic book one that everyone wants to read but doesn't.

Can you elaborate? I have a M4 Max with 128 GB RAM that I bought in 2024 with AppleCare+ (€500) for €7k. I estimate I would get €4k to €5k if I sold it second hand today. So it hasn't appreciated in value in any meaningful sense but it has very slowly depreciated in value. Normally a 2 year old laptop would strictly lose at least 50% of it's value.

Legally this is the same as having a dog that bites someone. You hold the owner/guardian responsible, in this case it's either the subscriber or Anthropic. You don't start making arguments about how nonsensical it is to fine a dog or put it in jail.
