hell yes I do, capitalizing off of a broken system and then pouring millions of dollars a year into keeping it that way should not be applauded.

- nashashmi 2y agoBut that is capitalism. Invent a solution to a problem. And then profit from solution. Then fight everyone else who also tries to solve the problem. And also keep the problem going. Capitalizing off a broken system means inventing and selling solutions. And keeping the system broken. Law firms work to keep the laws complicated. So that you need lawyers. Mechanics work to keep car parts difficult to self repair. So that you need mechanics. Tech hardware companies work to keep the repair business running smoothly. Otherwise the repair industry is gone. And so is the repair servicing for their product. Oil companies work to keep car on oil and not natural gas. So that you need oil. When oil company owns a natural gas business, do you find that either they don’t care or push everyone to the items more profitable. Train companies (obsolete) work to keep people traveling (no work from home). And alternative transportation suppressed. So govt forbid train companies to invest in bus companies. Or the other way around.
- calgarymicro 2y agoYou think tech companies want the repair industry? You know about the right to repair movement, right?
- nashashmi 2y agoYeah. But they are trying to curb the repair market to their selected vendors (themselves). It is like the dealership that makes half the money from car repair and the other half from car sales. Then you have independent repair garages fighting dealership garages from making warranty rules that break warranty if other people were to repair them.
