fed up with the disparity between rising food prices and record profits

Well, there is no disparity, in fact, it's cause and effect

Well, I would say that this is a very controversial area of what exactly are you not allowed to do with things you really own. I consider everything that doesn't harm other people to be allowed, others may view it differently. In some places you're not allowed to stab yourself with a knife you own (or rent, or stole, for that matter), that just means that besides owning there are many things to comply to, but all of them contradict the "do what you want"

Mine was in the EU, and with a language restricted version, too

I can assume that the region may make a difference

Then you can't proceed at all, and the error message doesn't even explain it

Ahah, no, I installed Professional edition a couple of months ago and I needed to do the OOBE/something-somethinNO to proceed with the install

Intel network card also helped because it didn't work out of the box and I really had no internal other than mobile

Is "it's your land, do what you want with it" a thing anywhere at all? Afaik the land usually belongs to the government and even if sold it's not really sold sold, otherwise one could buy some land and declare independence which is kind of not possible

Fundamentally, pride is not just a party, it is a protest.

And people often tend to say "but why do they need the parade if we let them be?" Because otherwise it'll be a couple of years before someone will start lynchings.

I just hope the society will sometimes be free of fear for everyone

That's a cultural difference for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This game is just soooo good (and almost as frustrating)

Key takeaway, I would say:

In 2017, Georgia-Pacific invented the so-called Texas two-step, a legal scheme to skirt liability for consumer harms like widespread asbestos exposures or the opioid crisis. That year the company quietly reincorporated itself in Texas and used a Texas law to split itself into two entities. One, the new Georgia-Pacific, received almost all of the company’s assets and carried on business as usual as a multibillion-dollar company.

The other company — Bestwall, LLC — was saddled with all of Georgia-Pacific’s asbestos liabilities, which included tens of thousands of legal claims from people who lost loved ones to deadly asbestos-related cancers like mesothelioma, and people who were sick themselves. Bestwall then promptly filed for bankruptcy, trapping these legal claims in bankruptcy court.

This is now used by other companies, too, according to the article
