All capitalists know that even Adam Smith was a proponent of big government, never in favor of a 'republic.'
The 'scale' of some problems exceed the reach of even the largest multi-national joint-stock corporations, leaving 'government' to 'fix' the problem.
Edison Motors 'product' may not represent a 'solution' to 'problems' currently experienced by automotive consumers.
If so, why 'give' them anything.

I'm less inclined to watch 2-bit episodes compared to something like Smarter Everyday, or Veritasium, or Vsause, as it usually has an entertaining element, but not so much learning opportunity.

I've been watching www.youtube.com/@AdamSomething. Everything from why it's stupid to build skyscrapers in the desert (without sewers) to rusty Cybertrucks.

edit: Also www.youtube.com/@WhatifAltHist. Rudyard Lynch is a 22 year old bibliophile.
