No, not everything in that list applies to every industry. The car market isn’t a monopoly, but it definitely has issues with government and regulatory capture (and perhaps others, I’m not expert in auto manufacturing). But even without those issues the nature of car making today gives it a high barrier of entry for new comers.
And as others pointed out, the fact it’s not a monopoly leads to more unpopular ideas being scrapped.
Under capitalism it’s always been the case of"what is this worth to you". The difference is in the past if a company overcharges then a competitor could come along and undercut them (so long as the gap was big enough that it made financial sense).
Unfortunately, monopolies, regulatory/government capture, vertical integration, marketing and cartels have gotten so far out of control that consumers are left with little choice but to suck it up. And most governments in the Anglosphere don’t really care.
I’m thinking
Warner
Head
Smith
Marsh
Green
Maxwell
Carey
Abbott / Agar
Starc
Cummins
Zampa
I’d prefer someone else opening over Warner, but the selectors are definitely going to pick him.
That will probably be similar to a lot of top teams with all the IPL players in the ODI squads.
I haven’t been a massive fan of ODI bilaterals lately, but I’ve been looking forward to this world cup, should be a good comp.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing. I always associated the change with the adoption of T20 batting styles into longer form cricket. So it’s cool to hear about its evolution in the Shield
Nice that there’s only double ups on Saturdays, going to give people a chance to watch as much as possible.
Seems a bit odd that India v Australia is on Sunday, is that considered a good timeslot?
Yes, the health secretary, it literally says so in the headline.
My pick for the XI:
Sub in Agar and Hazelwood for Maxwell and Cummins until they’re available. Maybe Stoinis over Green.
Agreed, the main reason I use still use Facebook is that it is home to largest communities for by hobbies. The subreddits for those hobbies were practically graveyards and on lemmy it is no better.
Of course, this doesn’t mean it can’t change, but for some things other communities are better right now.
Some of you haven’t read the Wasp v Weird Al comic event and it shows 😤
