You're "in a country" but "on a bus".

When I started learning other languages I realised there's no logic to it in any language. You live "in" California but I think it should be "on", but if you said "I live on California" it would have a subtly different meaning.

I'm interested in what AI says is the most logical language when we explain Esperanto to it.

Yes but they’re never going to make women’s pockets with jeans because of the purse industry. It profits way too much off of women not having pockets. And right now there is no big brand that has made that decision to add pockets so there’s no options. And you can’t just make your own company from nothing.

How do you think this happened? One day all pants producers collectively said no pockets? No. It was done progressively, just like phones with no exchangeable battery, and now no charger. One company does it, backlash is not sufficient to harm sales, the practice gets normalized and other companies copy it

There is nothing that can be done now, but people could have acted when it was time if they cared enough
