ASML is a Dutch multinational corporation that has a monopoly on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, a highly advanced technology essential for producing the smallest, most powerful microchips used in modern electronics. No other company in the world currently produces EUV machines, making ASML the sole supplier of this critical technology to semiconductor giants like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung. None of these companies could produce semiconductors without these machines.

You are a first-time parent awaiting the birth of your first child. You live in a Western Liberal Democracy where the majority of people follow the same Abrahamic religion (though not strictly). You were raised in this religious tradition.

In the 1980s and 90s, prominent feminist thinkers argued that sexual preferences act as a 'mirror' for one's political preferences. As a result, they advocated for things like political lesbianism (refusing to have sex with men) and a removal of any sort of violence from the sexual interactions (even if said violence was consensual/ desired). Over the past two decades, the feminist movement has actively fought to 'depoliticise sexual preferences', arguing that any sexual interaction is permissible provided it is consented to (and as a result, arguing that practices like BDSM, or violence as part of the role-play during sex, are permissible).
