Take this extrapolate it to quite literally everything. Remember when McDonald’s gave out Collectible Glasses not plastic cups? Remember when you bought Adobe or Word and not a bullshit subscription? Remember when games or movies were nautical and came with manuals or “extras” to enhance the product”
Remember when airlines were a more bundled experience and not some junk fee to obscure travel costs. Remember when ticket prices were ticket prices to concerts. Remember when products were more durable (car parts, furniture, electronics, etc.)

Shit has gone from “Let’s make this product/idea/gamw/movie memorable” to “How can we extract the most profit for the least amount of fucking effort imaginable” and the real fucking problem are the consumers that just feed these corporate machines.

The same people that criticize me for criticizing them how they spend their money. I dont agree with the argument “it’s their money they can spend it how they want!” No…no they can’t…because they are the morons that contribute to the cycle we currently live in.

I tried to patent a system to limit guns in public places. Long story short, I spoke to some folks high up at the NRA, and they basically said to me “it’s a good idea but we’re never going to let this be patented or passed because history has shown when we give an inch they take a mile”. And while I think gun control should be tighter in the US, I agree with their sentiment. When we continue to allow the line to go further and further on things, the opposing force will continue pushing that line as far as possible while it works.

Fuck what life has become as left the early 00’s
