Right, I’ve never once had to fill a cars tank with gas, or change the oil, or pay for any other maintenance on one.
But you cost money monthly, require insurance, taxes, food, human rights.
Machine is a one time purchase.

Machines require upkeep. Shit wears out, shit breaks down, shit needs a constant stream of lube oil, coolant by the barrel coming in every month, waste coolant shipped somewhere else all the time, shit stops working for no reason. Shit needs to run to make back any money. You’ll have to hire and pay somebody with human rights and an empty stomach since you already know all there is to know about machines. If you think machines don’t break go ahead and open yourself up a machine shop and see how long it lasts with a $0 maintenance budget. Speedrun turning a million dollars into a pile of rusty scrap metal.
