There are only 3.5 billion jobs worldwide. A good amount of those work for the government, in the army, in the public sector, etc…
I’d be surprised if it manages to get above a billion to be honest. Remember that copyright is a fairly recent invention.
How about requiring IPs to belong to a specific person, with a set expiry of say 10 years? Corporations wouldn’t be able to own IP, only pay for the usage rights (for the first 10 years).
Then you also mandate tri-monthly doctor’s appointments or something similar to check. Sounds horrible.
Yes, that’s not in dispute?
If you click through on the source on commerce sanctions (which is what would apply to possible tariffable goods) then you will find that the BIS oversees that. Not the taskforce going after Russian oligarchs, who have a different set of sanctions apply to them.
Again, there’s already a high level of tariffs on Russian trade, and they don’t have a “most favored trade nation” status anymore:
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told lawmakers there is “no effort to reinvigorate trade with Russia,” pushing back on Democrats who suspected Mr. Trump was cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin amid negotiations to reignite economic relations or end the war in Ukraine.
President Biden signed bills and issued decrees in 2022 that sanctioned Russia and Belarus and increased tariffs on things such as steel and aluminum, minerals and chemicals.
“They already have these high tariffs, they don’t have permanent normal trade relations,” Mr. Greer told the House Ways and Means Committee.
Sanctioned oligarchs have completely different sanctions than trade sanctions that apply to countries. Apples and oranges.
One is a sanction lifting on a fairly unimportant woman, true. Two are about “plans” a month ago (nothing was put in practice). Last one is tangentially related. But none are really about lifting sanctions on the country.
Trump hasn’t lifted any sanctions on Russia yet. He prolonged them for a year in February, and has been trying to offer the perspective of lifting them in exchange for peace negotiations. But since Putin hasn’t started negotiating in earnest yet, no sanctions have been lifted as far as I know.
They’re on a different list that allows limited trade afaik.
Yeah but that’s out of incompetence, not malice. You’re in most cases not allowed to trade with Russia due to sanctions, so what is there to tariff?
Russia is already on its own “special list” of countries that have very heavy trade restrictions. Like North Korea.
I don’t think tariffs would’ve made a difference there.
Probably part of some base template Microsoft uses.
AI bros aren’t that smart.
There’s no physical reason for it, it’s mostly inexperience that can cause it.
Relax, do foreplay, lube up. Don’t push it, take it slow. Won’t be any different from any other time.
Of course, there are exceptions to this. But these are rarer than most people think.
Yup. When a right-wing government asks, he complies. When a left-wing government does, he sues.
What jury?
No you see the Americans have all been starving because they can’t afford their eggs anymore.
Inb4 unleashing bird flu is RFK’s plan to combat the US obesity epidemic.

I think it’s sarcasm mate.
If you copy everyone else you’re not going to be profiting much, as your product isn’t competitive. You have to keep iterating on an idea to stay ahead of the competition.
IP law lets companies stop innovating after they’ve come up with a product, because other companies cannot directly compete using the same or a similar design.
Did Android phones stop innovating because Apple did a smartphone first?
