Eat crow, mate.
Um what? The US is terrible in how employees are treated

Completely agree with this and with your other comments in this thread.
There simply isn't that much money in designing cores. The money is in selling SoCs or devices. Arm at least has made increasingly high quality cores available at reasonable prices to all comers. A future where Arm's business is made unviable is not necessarily better for consumers.
You can license RISC-V cores from Si-Five today but they if reports are correct they were in discussions to sell to Intel. If that were to happen who knows what would happen to their offering. There will be others of course but as you say it's not obvious that what they offer will be any better that what Arm offers today.
And for the foreseeable future Arm is immune to takeover by any of its deep-pocketed customers.
I'm very happy that RISC-V exists from a number of perspectives but there needs to be a realistic assessment of its potential impact.
The Intel sale didn’t go through

I know it seems lo-tech, but it's a good idea to print out the ten Gmail recovery codes and keep them in a safe place. I've done the same for GitHub too.
We’ve gone full circle to the the idea of post-it note credentials

Its not reasonable to have your primary email be gmail anymore
It just means prices are not high enough. Make it $100 to travel at rush hour on a particular stretch of road, and congestion will go away very quickly.
This actually sounds really great for those who can afford it
I love express lanes, they cost so little and everyone stays out of them leading to a great experience for only 5-10 $

What's the elevator pitch for RISC-V? My intuition is that RISC was dead for good reason.
Not dead at all, its now a (conceptual) rocket ship
No ISA/architecture licensing fees, no restrictions on what you can do with it - you can build an open source core or you could sell your design to others. ARM/x86 doest have this, its all locked up behind lawyers.

I’m not sure what else Arm is supposed to do if it believes that the really big customer has broken their contract with them?
I actually think this ought to be a positive for customers who are clearly abiding by the terms of their contracts.
It doesn’t matter which party is correct, its now added risk that ARM could be the bad actor

Apple brought their chipset in house, using ARM is a base, to control their supply chain, cut costs, and allow for a RISC based architecture (which honestly just makes sense now these days). The biggest hinderance to RISC-V adoption will be if ARM remains customizable, cheap (from an IP perspective), and has widespread adoption. Honestly, I'm okay if RISC-V remains somewhat niche, but provides the necessary market pressure to keep non-open competitors honest. There's a meta-benefit to open standards as well.
ARM committed the sin of suing a really big customer of theirs, so there is likely some exit-seeking all around the industry
I for one do not want the Federal Government controlling my employment, I dont want the federal government doing anything other than national defense.
So no I do not want EU employment laws here in the US.
