I used to like bookstores.i loved the old Donner in Rotterdam(the new one is a big downgrade). But since moving from there and also living far from the center it increasingly didn't make much sense anymore to go to a bookstore. Now on Amazon you don't get like half an hour to look at a book so that's a disadvantage. But I'm lazy and Amazon is convenient. They're not dear either.
- mdp2021 5y agoWe cannot promote that laziness, can we? For Hackers, "laziness" is finding and creating solutions that boost that life. If you mainly shopped online, how easy are you making it for the preservation of the option of accessing the real thing? If you mainly shopped through a monopoly, how easy are you making it to ensure that prices remain contained?

- mdp2021 5y agoYou do: those millions are individuals. (And anyway, this was not the point - which still was with individual awareness and choice.) BTW: > I don't have any influence ... It would be the height of arrogance With this you have been convincing: you really must be lazy as you say, pal :)
