Price? High.

Quality? Meh.

Customer service? Okay, it’s actually pretty good. They can have one.

Labor rights? 👿 Literally evil, actively opposing any kind of collective bargaining.

You can get a better, less expensive cup of fair-trade coffee in most workplaces and without having to watch a giant corporation kick the working class in the crotch repeatedly.

I think about this almost every day. It’s hard to interpret in any other way than violent disenfranchisement. What did they think people were going to do? Lay down and die peacefully?

I love stuff like like this. It’s almost up there with MAGA hats. Being able to look at someone and instantly know we’re not going to get along is pretty useful.

The “Five Eyes” concept has to be the dumbest, most transparent example of the “I’m not touching you” defense to charges of constitution circumvention.

I think I got my references mixed up. Thanks for setting me straight.

You’ve also watched Scrubs?

It’s not his fault. He fell on it.

I know this is probably a mundane engineering thing, but it sounds like a ramp up to a Black Mirror episode. We just need some kind of social commentary. Maybe the waste energy secretly contain MacGuff-ons, a known chrono-hazard. Only the poorest people will use it, for lack of alternative?

We’ll see. I hope you’re right. Similar tactics in the housing market have created situations in which rent is cheaper than mortgage payments, which is a bad portent.

I admire your optimism, but I think this will get used as leverage for a push to cloud gaming. The end goal is for us to own nothing.
