Quite the contrary, the world you envision isn't nice to think about at all. It's impractical, inefficient, wildly haphazard, and, worse than that, would produce the exact opposite of what you're looking for. The profit motive might not be aesthetically pleasing to you but it provides the vibrant indie marketplace we see today.

I just confirmed - this book was my first purchase on Amazon. May 24th, 1999. I had just decided to go from undeclared to EECS at Cal and wanted to take a crash course in hardware. I read the book over the summer and never turned back.

What specifically did you find objectionable in his list of charities?

These laws are not made to be coherent or actually help people. They are made to curry favor with a particular base. It creates all these super strange situations where it's impossible to know what the rules will be. These nonsensical laws meant to target specific people and/or companies will be the norm going forward.

To top this all off, our ability to "put the domestic economy first" through policy is non-existent. Any attempt to fix this "problem", that you accurately described as a problem only because it's socially unacceptable, would end up harming us in some way. There is a mountain of evidence over the last century to back this up, we just refuse to listen.

This isn't textbook Baader–Meinhof, but after 4 decades of never consciously hearing about this fruit I've now encountered it three times in one week: [1] on the allowed low fodmap diet, [2] in the lyrics of a jungle book song, and [3] this article. My family is now on a mission to find one and taste test.
