As consumers, we think they should. But, if the machines worked, then the money from ice cream sales would go to the franchisees. Instead, McD colludes with Taylor to get a piece of the repair money.
No, McDonalds has figured it out. Rather than making money by selling ice cream cones to customers, they can make more money by colluding with Taylor to force franchisees to pay for frequent service calls to "fix" a machine that is broken only in the way that it is locked up after a failed cleaning cycle, and the reset sequence requires a service call.
McDonalds owns a large interest in Taylor, which is how the money gets to them.
What if that epic fine put JD out of business? Then the next biggest competitor could start putting in repair-inhibiting features, and then we would have to start this whole process over.
But John Deere got it's reputation for being well-constructed durable agricultural machines.It might have been more expensive than the competitors at the time, but the quality and reliability was worth it. These aren't cheap Chinese playthings. They just got greedy.
For every year of renting, I lose 2 weeks of my life? So, after living for 26 years in an apartment, not needing to shovel snow, perform yard work, or perform major home maintenance or renovations, I lose... 1 year.
Ok, so advertising the camera hook to spy in bathrooms is illegal. But, lets hypothesize here, what if the camera inside the hook didn't work? I don't mean that it was damaged in shipping, or the unremovable built-in battery died, but that the camera was a FAKE and could NEVER work? What if Amazon knew this? Would this still be a crime? Admittedly, false advertisement might come up, but I bet the punishment for that is a lot less severe.
