Thanks for your insight. Can you share examples of superficial homogeneousness but deep differences in Europe?

No OP, but bystander effect is definitely real. *Anecdotal example* : got immediate response for my email after addressing specific person. This was after repeated appeals for help/response to entire team on same email chain.

I don't agree with your Trump example, but agree with your main point.

> - pushing updates to slow down older iOS to "encourage" users to buy a new phone

Apple down older iPhones to make their batteries last longer. They were penalized by court for not communicating this decision to iPhone owners, not for slowing down battery.

Thanks for terminology. Will check it out

You could also look at raindrop.io though unsure of iOS experience on it

Very true

Yes, BBC also covered it (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/Bi5xGc7SIj/the_fall_of_the_...)

It's called "hostage justice" by critics

Matt Levine has already discussed Texas Divisive Mergers w.r.t. J&J case:

"It does seem … wrong? Like, obviously, if you run a big company that has big liabilities, you’d like to be able to just get rid of the liabilities. And obviously companies have tried, and there are simple approaches (spin off the assets and leave the liabilities, etc.), and those simple approaches don’t work because generally it is bad for a company to be able to just get rid of its liabilities. It would be weird if there was a cheat where doing it as a Texas two-step merger did work."

Love this app. Thanks for letting me know.
