Comment on Apple will allow reuse of iPhone parts for repairs, with a notable catch

Of course, laws can work. Why are you putting words in my mouth? Take a breath, and go outside. There’s lots of laws working just fine. My problem is with companies that are too big to fail, employing better lawyers than regulators could ever afford. I say split those companies up into bits that regulators actually handle.

Here are the words from your mouth:

They have an answer to everything lawmakers come up with. Consumers are the only group that could punish Apple in a meaningful way

Regulations, however, always seem to be one step behind, don’t they?

Congratulations on this new suggestion of trust-busting to fix that, but please do not pretend it’s my fault for reading where you suggested it’s unfixable. Or I’m sorry, unfixable “in any meaningful way.”

  You’re showing so much patience with me, thank you. Copying my words back to me when coming up with new ones doesn’t work. Here I am trying to have this dialogue with you, but all you seem interested in is picking a fight with me. I sincerely hope that regulators will win the fight, I’m just not as confident as you that they will. Can we maybe leave it at that? I wish you nothing but good things, a nice weekend too.

    ‘What you wrote the first two times sounded exactly like what you accused me of making up.’
    
    ‘Wow, touch grass.’
    
    Good dialogue, super valid.
    
    Especially when you’re still reiterating the undercurrent of pessimism that I’m criticizing in the first place. ‘Companies just out-spend regulators. I have no faith it will work out. Oh well, agree to disagree!’

    You have got to be the most aggressive cheerleader out there. Have you never encountered someone with pessimistic viewpoints before? I got news for you, we’re out here, and there’s reasons that the sentiment is alive and kicking. Good luck trying to pummel people into being more optimistic. The way you’re going about it? Not the most elegant. Though, perhaps if you’re patient, we might join you in rainbow unicorn land eventually. Who knows. Lol.
