It is quite possible that people agree with you that source code should be first and foremost useful, but disagree on compactness vs airiness.

No, but unless the French decide that they can force others countries to follow their laws, the only choice is between [French protection laws applied in France; French protection laws not applied abroad] and [French protection laws not applied in France; French protection laws not applied abroad].

The order specifically singles out Amazon categories for products. I am not a software engineer, but something along the line of:

> if item.category is not in authorized_categories then do not sell

Does not seem too hard to do.

How is that odd? The issue was the safety of its French employees, and therefore the order from the French court relates to the Amazon facilities in France.

This does not address my points.

- A large chunk of the Fed liabilities are coins and bills. What does it mean for the Fed to "default" on those coins and bills?

"Free markets, except when the markets do not work" is not particularly specific - I fail to think of any mainstream party in the West that do not agree with this principle. The disagreement is about 1. when do markets fail and 2. what are the acceptable policies to fix it.

For instance, environmental externalities could justify an endless list of regulations, a massive carbon tax and/or cap-and-trade policies, as well as tariffs for countries not complying with environmental regulations. Because the markets does not work. Yet this is clearly not something everyone agrees with, despite being a market drive the economy but intervene to keep them spinning until the (climate) crisis passes.

I do not mean to enagage in politics and suggest the example I gave is what we should or should not do.

My point is that most people beliefs about the economy are a lot more specific than "markets with some intervention".

Well Amazon has been sued by its workers' representatives, lost in the first trial and lost again in the appeal trial.

It is of course possible that other delivery services have similar safety measures and have not been sued yet, or have more lenient workers, or whatever; but still, it offers _some_ evidence that Amazon might have worse practices than others.

Defaulting on the debt means anyone owning treasury bonds lose their money.

Should every message be written with all possible audiences in mind?

This plan is supported by the region (~ state) rather than the city of Paris. Next regional elections are in March 2021.

We can only assume that if the author of previous comment actually missed them and not their faces, they would have said so.

Would that mean that any assassination done with a weapon is a failure?
