why would market electricity prices have any relation to what you pay on your power bill? turns out that companies will charge whatever they know they can, regardless of the cost of acquiring something to sell, should the cost of something be more than they know they can sell it for, they just won't sell it.
The idea that market prices influence what you pay for something is basically one of the main lies of supply side economics.
Capitalism was the one main force pushing for the end of slavery at the Contemporaneous Age. It’s basically the reason most of the world doesn’t have it anymore.

As for the Capital flight, that is a myth, even the implementation of straight wealth taxes don't see great multimillionaire migrations, because taxation isn't a very strong factor, in fact a golf course or tow is a stronger pull, example Scotland vs Ireland when the UK was still part of the EU saw more ultra wealthy live in Scotland, a region with a higher tax rate, than Ireland, primarily for golf courses.
ok, why should I care about the well off not getting to be quite the leaches they are now?
Opensuse has Mold on it because someone forgot it in an office locker.
IDK, you want to run by your statement again and get back to me?
in a technical sense? yes.
in a practical sense? it's superficial, generally without any actual actions to address anything about it. they will praise a company for plopping rainbows on everything ONLY during the exact days of pride month while funding Christian gay conversion camps
we were talking about OpenSuse
but the BILD owned magazine so nicely spread the propaganda
