This is brilliant! The Hanlon-Clarke variant is a nicer name though

This could actually be why they're entering China. Emerging economies might buy much cheaper older tech from Chinese machines instead of cutting edge &expensive ASML machines.. Once the tech is out, Pandoras box can't be unopened (from ASML's perspective). Stifling Chinese adoption early might make any Chinese competitor nonviable without govt support. Overall might be worth any retribution from the US.

@criitz made an good point in a reply to a comment in this same chain: https://reddthat.com/comment/16623939

Essentially, if we made fun of his head shape, someone normal with a simar head shape is going to read: "that head shape is bad" & is going to be hurt & more self conscious of something they can't control. That is collateral damage to an innocent bystander you may not have intended.

I have no idea why you're down voted, your point is absolutely valid. Perhaps people are angry and want to hurt those in power, consequences be damned.

That's an excellent point, I hadn't thought of that. I suppose if the derision becomes popular it might lose this context and cause hurt to the wrong person.

While I get what you're saying, a lot of people are practically powerless in front of these billionaires, that shape & challenge their very existence. In the face of such helplessness, I can understand attacking someone in that much powers' uncontrollable attributes.

It's easy to be trapped into thinking "treat them as you'd like to be treated", when the oppressor proves time & time again they will not treat you like one of them.

Just my 2¢

Might be corporate greed?
