  Metaverse was like the AI nobody asked for getting pushed into apps. Nobody wanted Wii Mii like hangout rooms where you have to water a clunky headset.

  I saw this with my printer ink. It was an older unpopular model. $8 a cartridge, but later $39, then another time $17, then down to $8. Like no way to budget for that variation

  In a way they do, the price of gasoline is artificially low in North America compared to Europe. And if you search gasoline subsidies you will see how many billions countries pay to prop up fossil fuel.

  The cost of car ownership for a petrol cat depends on government.

  For us our petrol is manipulated in another way also: We we paying around $1.80 a liter a while back, but an election happened so they removed some of the taxes on petrol as a party incentive, so now we are paying $1.50

  While not a direct subsidy, that ooerating cost did have an impact on car purchase choices.
