Gets a bit hard to chew If you don’t.

Dealerships do a lot of absorption of supply and demand elasticity on behalf of the manufacturer. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

Every state in the US already does this to prevent the ole ‘sold this car for a $1’ ruse to lower sales tax.

Op, are you familiar with the hedonic treadmill? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill

If I worked for the manufacturer I’d just piggy back on other TVs networks to communicate. Wouldn’t work if you live in the country but for everyone else I’d just need a similar brand within wifi range.

I used to think this way too, or hand wave away all the inconvenients as lessons to be learned, but there is a very valid argument to make that the best thing we can do as a species right now, is to focus inward here before we move out there.

Yes it is! Right now no one can hurtle an asteroid at earth to end it instantly. When space mining takes off that’s a very real threat.

This is not risk free. When you give people access to space and still have terrorism and wars, things can end badly quickly.

Is there a reason you are so defensive?

I already eat way less fast food since they started hiding all the ‘deals’ behind the apps. Win win imo.

The only reason we still have Shakespeare is preservation.

I’m not ready to give Amazon any credit here. They use a lot of scummy dark patterns like swapping accept/deny buttons and making accept super easy and friendly to click while decline is small plain text.

In case you are not just trolling, you need to do way more to stay anonymous in the modern area.
