You pay for that convenience over time in other ways?


If I make this car, I don't want you extending is useful lifetime. I want you to buy a new one to replace it instead.

AKA. Why you can't repair most cell phones now.


From the outside, it’s a hypocritical show when there is an established market of dominant companies, and then a new company enters the scene capturing a new secondary market related to the established market; then suddenly those established companies are up in arms screaming, “Regulations! Regulations!”, ready to support the government to throw the book at the new companies for <reasons>, as long as no regulations impact the established companies and they can continue to selectively skirt around which regulations they don’t like.

And once they establish business units to compete against the new company in the secondary market, suddenly the established companies aren’t so pressed about needing to enforce regulations anymore.


Every time a car is repaired and a piece replaced its lifetime is also extended. Maybe they have feared that it would also have an impact on yearly GDP since car sales are very often used as a metric.


"A cure for the common platform"


Don't think it's any kind of "right". All I will say is that we've paid high interest student loans for over 8 years now and equivalent to the cost of small home. We also both worked jobs in college.


Do you follow the standard of treatment given by the doctor? What about diet modifications (ketosis) or other supplements (metformin, etc)?


I've always wondered if companies even need a HR? Especially when they are huge separate departments.


At some point every company needs someone to handle those duties. Payroll & benefits, recruiting, onboarding & offboarding, these sort of things don't just sort themselves out on the side and quickly become full time positions that require dedicated individuals.


Most of HR is just meeting federal regulatory compliance requirements.


Yea you would put the fan before the check point so the line doesn't stop.


I think it's more like I'm trying to teach my 5yr old. When you make a mess, you get to clean it up. Simple as that


There was a company trying to do compressed air with good efficiency but they aren't doing so well right now

I'm now picturing a boss telling an employee "Contentment is a state of mind" and that we also need to that hundredth "TPS" report done today
