I defend Apple on this because even though government intervention can start beautifully it always ends up catastrophically.

> always ends up catastrophically.

Government intervention like forbidding led-based paints or asbestos in homes? Or government intervention like doing something about the ozone depletion? Government intervention like forbidding roaming fees? Intervention like requiring 3-point seat belts? Like progressive taxation? Like forbidding discrimination based on skin colour? Like air travel safety? Like a max ceiling on credit card fees?

Always?

You call it government intervention, we call it good government.

Because a monopoly extracting 30% of every purchase you make is a dream scenario?

Hopefully this uniquely American push for dysfunctional government stays on their side of the ocean.
