  You’re right that this has been a big reason for this resistance. It is not only that controlling the means of supply drives long term profits, but that the supply infrastructure generates huge profits as well. The largest portion of your home electricity cost is not the production but the delivery. If we could free everyone from both these costs almost everyone would be a lot happier.

  You should extend this way of looking at it to the rest of the capitalist system we are being subjected to. Poorer quality goods lead to higher repurchase rates and more waste. Company mergers stifle new technology and slow human progress. These systems need heavy regulation and even extermination.

  I like this kind of “use it or loose it” approach to IP. It talks about cost to the IP owners but if private servers are sourced to support continuity, then the cost to them is far less. Of course they will loose their revenue stream but if they were going to shut it down anyway then it is more about protecting the user base, which I fully support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is awful because the people who went to business school figured out how to fuck us over as hard as possible.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Business school is only a symptom of the problem. I blame genetics! The type of people who hold this view have always, intentionally or not, made it look like the best system. Adopt this approach and those that began it, and their brethren will reward you. Alternately you’ll do well anyway because ultimately it’s the best way to make money. The problem is it’s also the best way to make enemies if the greater balance is maintained. How is this genetic? Well I just think it’s the way some people are wired. I know there’s no doubt that you’re environment plays a big roll, but in combination it can be catastrophic. Either way it doesn’t seem anyone has recognized this. By that I mean society keeps getting sucked along and the decades of mentioning of anything of this sort, is quashed. When will we wake up? I’d like to add that once you gain more control it is easier the keep the ball rolling.

  Poor Santa. That bitch has been passed around more than a 2 dollar whore at a tractor pull.

  Damn you!
