Or, hear me out, we fire 80% of our workforce, degrade quality, and make the remaining 20% work 10 hours a day.
ha ha, only serious

This coming from the company that graciously brought us "Fuck you business daddy!" to the vernacular.
They're right, it's priceless!


.sig does not apply in this case.

What does K'breel, speaker for the council have to say on this dumbfounding revelation from the Earthians?

Wake me when I can get tattooed with chloroplasts like some sort of mutant bipedal sea slug.
People's lack of vision is so disappointing.

... which would void your warranty because you're operating it beyond what the manufacturer has determined to be sustainable. Good luck convincing the dealership they should cover engine damage on a chipped car. That's not what we're talking about here. The specs on the cheaper model are artificially lowered as can be seen by comparing the specs on the same hardware installed in the upgraded model.

First of all, most of those statements are not mutually exclusive. A person can read and understand the specs and decide to purchase, but still feel ripped off.

Second, I did say "smells like corporate thievery," not "is corporate thievery." Take a course on ethics and morality, if you can find one. As a quick one-line course summary, there's a difference between morality and legality. Sadly, most MBA graduates seem to focus only on what's legal, and most CxOs would test positive on a psychopathy eval.

Wow. $35k for an upgrade; are you comparing a 4-cylinder Mustang with manual windows and no A/C to a customized Shelby GT500? Yeah, if there's hardly any parts in common, it's not a strange flex to prefer a big price difference. Ford wouldn't be able to sell their base model Mustang at a $600 discount off of a GT500. Again, that's not what we're talking about here.

But you did buy it upfront. All the hardware and software for that sportier experience is already in the vehicle... except for that toggle bit. If it required swapping in upgraded parts, an up-charge would be reasonable. But to differentiate price on toggling a bit on or off, while not uncommon in the world today, still smells like corporate thievery.

What's Randy Quaid been up to lately? For a few years there he was making good progress transforming into a real-life Russell Casse.

Thanks anonymous reader for telling us who Lorde is.
sheesh.

Asbestos is dangerous to your lungs because the individual fibers are long and sharp and stabby and your mucus lining cannot clear them. These are little metallic beads; I expect your lungs would clear them just like any other similar sized particle of dust or plastic.

But you go live in your protective bubble so you're safe from them. I don't mind.

Ah.. now it makes sense.
