Seems like everybody like you wants to spend money without diligence when it's the public money.

Proven methods of combating climate change are being ignored here. Hell, the government need not even invest in proven techs like wind farms and solar.. they could put that money into modernizing the power grid and even that would be better than... whatever shit this is.

Ah the "I'm not crazy! You are!" Stage of deranged authoritarians

Oh I am thinking of them.. how to murder shareholders in various unique ways... could be neat game idea too!

We already paid for the Internet though.

That's like saying we should gouge out our eyeballs if we don't want to see banner ads in real life. Fuck that noise.

Someday even the air you breathe will be sold by a corporation.. then your comment will appear silly.

Let's say we continue down this path. Soon you can't even live the way you want because some corp will control things like when you eat, when you sleep, what media you consume,... oh wait...

I think I can distill many of the replies to this question in a few checks that may apply generally (exceptions abound, and i could just be wrong)

1. Are you intimately familiar (subject matter expert level) with the nasty outcomes of what you would be doing on a daily basis at this company? If yes its better it was YOU and not somebody else.
2. How much separation is there between what you do and the nasty outcomes? If you pull the trigger on a drone.. I get thats unacceptable to some people.
3. Does not doing the activity make something else even more worse? (Frying pan vs. Fire dilemma)
4. Are you only doing this because there's no other real choice? (Poverty)

What you mean that won't STOP them? That actually STARTs them again!

Sure... All the countries that were doing well before some 3 alphabet orgs got involved died because of communism, not because of manufactured coups.

It can't exist without the government keeping the angry mob from chopping off the Capitalists' heads off.

I agree with you. These capitalists spit on climate activists calling them doomers and even worse terms. But the moment someone suggests that it's ok when the line doesn't have to go up always... it's pitchfork time.

It's hilarious to see: Most Capitalists (or atleast those who are not actively opposing fossil fuel industry) complain about Doomers for the climate, but the moment the line stops going up you guys become Doomers yourself.

I have seen how capitalists scream when the line stops going up. But I never see capitalists suggest changes to how the economy is setup to avoid this phenomenon. I don't trust people who can't be objective when their baby has made a booboo.

Not the OP you were talking to, but I have to object to what you say is ignorance, even though you might be saying it about OP specifically. You probably think everybody thinks of deflation like this.

Deflation is bad -> I believe this is true. But that's not the point.

The current economy is setup this way to make anything other than rampant consumerism and aggressive capitalism a country-destroying phenomenon -> This is what irks people. The rich and powerful have setup a shitty rube-goldberg machine that makes their lives better at the expense of the commonfolk, environment, and everybody else's sanity.

And then you don’t have a job any more because you’re working at a washing machine factory and nobody’s buying them and the economy is going under.

We don't have alternative jobs in 2023! Everyone whose not a millionaire or richer needs to get their asses on the factory floor!

So this economy was design to feed dragons, and then depend on those dragons spending money for the majority of people to even survive.

Why don't you want a smaller market for fridges? It's essential product, but sustainable business if you can sustain yourself by providing services and repairs

Except if you think even a few more depths about this... you would understand people have needs. I would be happy to buy a car now if I need it now and can afford it. Your argument only works for goods that are not a necessity to life.

To be fair... us common folk keep hearing stuff about the economy.. but the only outcome at the end of the day is we get screwed in higher prices, lower wages, fucked up climate for our kids. People get tired pretending this Economy isn't rigged by wall street and the U.S Govt or people close to it.

If they’re hosting the manual then they can keep it updated (typos/mistakes/changes etc.).

This was never a problem with manuals when they were hosted offline.

Printed manuals can become outdated by the time it reaches the buyer.

What, the product magically changes during shipping?
