- scarface74 6y agoWhy don’t we just have the government come out with “Five Year Plans”?
- realusername 6y agoIt's just basic consumer laws like any others, no need to bring out the red scare.
- scarface74 6y agoWhy not just keep it simple. Why not have a government run cell phone company that meets the need of the people?
- realusername 6y agoOr why even have regulations anyway? Why not allowing cars to be sold without seatbelts or products without warranties? I think you can find the answer yourself.
- scarface74 6y agoYes because car safety is comparable to a few geeks whining about Apple’s “walled garden” when their are literally hundreds of phones running Android.
- realusername 6y agoThat's just missing completely the point, user rights needs to be there whether you care about them personally or not, like any other right.
- scarface74 6y agoThe user has a right to buy an Android.
- dilap 6y agoThere's miles between this idea and that. This is more akin to requiring ingredients labels on foods; there is a burden to the company, but it doesn't distort competition, and it provides clear consumer wins.
