iPhones are at least updated for a while, all the Android manufacturers shitting out 50 models a year forget about their devices within 2-3 years, including the flagships. This should be regulated, even from an e-waste perspective it's retarded.
Agreed.
As we can see, capitalism has its flaws.
That has nothing to do with capitalism. It's the irresponsibility and greed of the consumers as much as it is the protection of the government given to the morally bankrupt and very few people behind the breakable marketing
If nobody purchased a refrigerator with a circuit board in it, there wouldn't be any for sale. Your fridge would last for thirty years.
Singer sewing machines made indestructible sewing machines by the millions in every country year after year year and they all did the same thing; sewed a seam backwards and forwards and that's all. You can buy one today and give it to your great grandkids. It will work. They never went broke, they gave the industry to Japan after the war to avoid another Versaille treaty situation that abused the Germans so badly.
Or capitalism reveals that people in general don't care about these things we care about.
Capitalism and communism are the same thing, they are both Judaism!
As far as I know, communism is complete government control (see Venezuela) and radical equality (which does not work due to differences in people), while capitalism is more about private ownership and maximizing profit.
Capitalism has both good effects (e.g. technological innovation), as well as bad side effects (e.g. Apple greedily abusing market power against consumers).
It seems that the political left is in favour of communism and against capitalism.
Am I missing something?
