:I concur, though I want to stress that I think it's very important that we try to make this comic explanation as neutral as possible. Is it possible to not show a bias towards either side of the issue? Randall's comic obviously has a point of view, but perhaps the explanation on this site can be a little bit more neutral.

"venmo" needs explaining. Apparently it's some sort of USAian proprietary payment system? And I think Ponytail's company is providing a service (which the USA exports of lot of), rather than selling equipment - services usually not being captured by simple trade figures for goods. And in order to post here I have to identify features of foreign street scenes in order to train a monopolist's proprietary image recognition system.

I felt like using all caps is a good idea for explanations, since the comic itself is all caps Aprilfoolsupdate! (talk) 00:03, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Please don't. If you did that, then all of the other explanations and transcripts would have to be edited to all-caps, which makes it harder to read. guess who (if you desire conversing | what i have done) 01:07, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Doesn't just about every xkcd comic use all-caps? That would make pretty much the entire wiki unreadable. 172.71.155.35 04:15, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
