In a rural area you buy a cheap building and buy all the tools. In an urban area, for most of these at least, you join a makerspace. Many urban makerspaces have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tools.

Car dealers provide a lot of utility. They let you test drive cars, help with financing, provide warranty service, buy your trade in, etc. Even without these archaic laws these utilities would still be needed. However, the market would likely find far more efficient business models than the currant car dealer.

It is time to end these laws that stop competition. Let America innovate with better business models. The only losers are current car dealership owners that refuse to adapt.

They started stockpiling key components after the earthquake roughly 8 years ago. You could do this globally if everyone took the Toyota approach and only stockpiled components likely to suffer disruption.

Every single big company will only allow their payment method. None that can afford to change will want to pay Apple's cut if they don't have to. If this passes, for any big successful app, using Apple payment will not be an option.

Small developers will likely still use Apple because it is easy. The cut is likely less than the hassle of using a different system.

After an update took away the required login setting for a purchase, Twice I have called Apple and received a refund when my kid spent hundreds of dollars in a couple hours. What is going to happen when that is a malicious game developer? They are not giving that money back. The cable monopolies show how monopolies will make it exceedingly hard to cancel a subscription.

As a mere consumer, that is no longer developing for a living, I do not want this option. I do not really care if companies have to pay Apple a cut. I want easy. I want to trust who has my credit card.
