    They should be investigating them because of massively selling below cost price.

    How is this a fair, level, playing field, U.S.? Making a large pile of money to put millions of people out of a job, it warrants some investigations!

      Do you have any evidence of this assertion? What is 'cost price' and what is being sold below that?

        Claude says my token spend is $15k per week. I’m being charged $50.

        They can only do that because of circular finance deals and other fraud. Those deals are also the reason a machine that’d run ~ Claude Opus 4.6 locally costs $5000 instead of the original $1400 MSRP.

          Frying pan infomercials say I'm getting a £200 value for only £29.99. I'd take their claims with a pinch of salt
