<p>Markets can’t see the product quality of a monopoly. It won’t be reflected in the metrics because there’s no competition to anchor the earnings to the real consumer value. But that doesn’t mean quality isn’t a factor- it makes them vulnerable to disruption.<p>Warren Buffett is known to trade on product quality (he buys what he uses). So his sale could be based on that.</p>

<p>It’s not breaking the law in this case as far as I know.<p>The law requires Apple to provide equal access to the iPhone hardware and software in marketplaces that it competes in.<p>That can be done in a manner that is either additive, by providing access to third parties (which is potentially a significant expense and liability) or subtractive, by choosing not to engage in the regulated activities at all, in that jurisdiction.</p>

<p>As far as I understand, the act can’t control what Apple decides to do outside of the EU. Whether Apple has products or features available outside that market means nothing because it’s scoped to that jurisdiction.<p>I think that whether or not they built the thing does not matter.</p>

<p>If the consumers in EU don’t like the legal and predictable effects of the DMA in this case, how is Apple subverting the democratic process? If the act isn’t having the intended effect, then either voters will change their minds or it will need to be reformed. But this sounds like a successful outcome of the law insofar as preventing anticompetitive behavior.<p>Subverting democracy, to me, would involve things like dark money campaigns and lobbying.</p>

<p>Many seasonal campgrounds never open due to lack of staffing. Fire risk can’t be sufficiently managed and creates massive fuel buildups.<p>Illegal dumping at the edges of the national forests is also a big problem that they can’t keep up with, as well as preventing other illegal activities like poaching or unlawful harvesting of resourceg.</p>

<p>AFAIK, this affected probationary employees of all or most agencies. So I’m not sure how this argument makes sense as something the Forest Service did wrong or could have prevented.<p>Also, the government should be efficient but shouldn’t be required to break even or profit… it’s a public good.</p>
