It is possible to find phones that are easy to repair in Europe. I think they are going to hit the American market in a few months.

So now that people have options, it is really on the consumer side.

And that's why I'm saying social democracy is a realistic solution. The way the world works right now makes breaking this dependency something idealistic. So you can either fantasize with ideals all day long or you can get closer to your objective.

And yet, I'm not going bankrupt after someone in my family used an ambulance.

Hm, so you're giving a new API free of charge to all the AI tech giants in the era of AI. How is this bad for them?

I don't see how earning large amounts of money makes someone evil. I don't think there is a logical connection between evil and wealth. That's why I ignored that number. As I said, the only thing you need to do is to prove they actually exploited workers. That's it.

They accumulated wealth because they invested in companies that grew to become multi-billion dollar companies. This happened because they had a clever idea or solved a real issue. These are companies located in many countries, how is 2M monthly too much for services/products used worldwide?

Do I like the fact billionaires exist? No. I'd prefer a world with a better wealth distribution. Do I think they are evil because the system allowed them to get to that point? No.

You could dual boot and use Windows for gaming.

I'm not defending the billionaires we know are shit, I'm just saying accumulating capital that is placed in large companies that create jobs worldwide is not inherently evil.

Just prove the 5 guys in the submarine exploited people to get there. There's no logical connection between accumulating wealth and abusing workers.

"Babe, we need to buy a lizard trap now."

I don't know. I don't know how all billionaires in the world have acquired their capital. I do know that the most relevant ones, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have exploited workers, but I don't know if this can be generalized. Do you?

I'm not sure if being a billionaire necessarily means all of those things. I know some that are actually doing good stuff for the people, like Mark Cuban. Is he perfect? Probably not, but he's doing something about a real issue that was screwing a lot of people in the US.

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion. I've been treated like shit for saying I think the limit should be 16 weeks instead of 24. It is a spectrum, and all sides have valid arguments, which is why this is such a divisive matter. Some people say masturbation is killing potential lives. Some people say that there should be no limit for abortion, abort whenever.

I understand your point, you think terminating a human life is wrong, which is a natural human response. I think most people also feel the same way, but they give more importance to other matters. Maybe you should try understanding the people in the other positions of the spectrum. Sometimes people make mistakes at a young age (kids are very dumb), women get raped, families can't financially take care of a new child, birth control fails... It's easy to judge them until you're in their position.

And he thinks TL;DRs are for kids with ADHD. Totally egotistic. I'm sure his whole point can be heavily TL;DR'd.
