Maybe that is how they sell new phones....
:)Exactly. The never ending promise that the next one won't suck.
Promise that turns out to be a lie; they must be studying to be a politician!
:)Capitalism just encourages this behavior, and to be sure the politicians are even worse.
Actually socialism is where this comes from. Capitalism would lead you to another vendor if the free market was not being Stomped by regulation, that have no market reason to exist!
We have Not had capitalism in a century....
:'(I understand we don't have unfettered capitalism, but I don't think we can. There are plenty of vendors making tablets and phones and chargers, and their motivation is to maximize profit, so they make it as cheap as possible. I don't see that drive changing without regulation, and I see the situation getting substantially worse for workers and our planet. Lord knows an end to subsidies would be amazingly beneficial, but there's a lot more going on. I think, however, an end to centralized government can allow us to try multiple different experiments in various communities and see what works.
This should be a fun debate either way. I love talking about this stuff. I'm totally fascinated by it right now. I've been a progressive liberal almost all my adult life and have recently shifted to ancom. I've heard a lot about anarchy over the years but never thought it possible. Now I think differently.
I worked for a small company making medical monitoring equipment. We made the very best units we possibly could. We charged three times as much as others, but our business tripled in a decade, BECAUSE our monitors Worked, and theirs might.
WE, a small company, were destroying our big business competition, just by making better monitors and sensors. We did so well, that a mega corporation lied to my boss lady, and bought us out.
