  I disagree, I think the removal of ads is often painted as a benefit that had inherent value. Look at YouTube premium or Prime video. Both haven’t actually improved their offering, just made it worse by introducing ads and insisting users that don’t want to see ads have to pay for the privilege of not being advertised to.

  This means the total price adds up to higher than 100% of the product value, because it’s a ‘premium’ version that comes without advertisement inconvenience.

  Paying for the product and paying to not be inconvenienced by ads have become separate things. The first is standard business, the second is extortion.

  At least an expensive car is usually a better product though, so many of these t-shirts are simply cheap cotton but the price is $$$$ because the logo of a company that also makes actually expensive products is on it.

  I agree with every point you made, and obviously this is better than having no cap at all, but this is exactly what makes the argument a false dichotomy, which the government is doing more than you were. Any positives are only relative to the single invented alternative, not any of the better solutions.

  The simple fact is that public services like public transport, the NHS, postal service etc should not need to be profitable. They should never be expected to support themselves financially and should be funded by taxation on those who can most afford, not increasing the cost for use by those that most require it’s services.

  Public services will continue to crack and fail until we have a government that understands this.

  Thanks mate, editted

  They could have renewed it at £2 and still increased the funding without taking it from people who rely on public transport.

  No false dichotomies please.

  The cap has been increased by 150% from £2 to £3.

  Please under no circumstances do trains.

  You seem to be in the camp of believing the hype. See this write up of an apple paper detailing how adding simple statements that should not impact the answer to the question severely disrupts many of the top model’s abilities.

  In Bloom’s taxonomy of the 6 stages of higher level thinking I would say they enter the second stage of ‘understanding’ only in a small number of contexts, but we give them so much credit because as a society our supposed intelligence tests for people have always been more like memory tests.

  If the immediate danger is the car, couldn’t they shoot the tires instead of the driver? I don’t understand how you can claim to not have intended to kill a person you have aimed a firearm at and pulled the trigger.
