I work in IT at a hospital. Dell Latitude 3420 and 3430 laptops have to be held carefully to avoid having the plastic crack simply because of the weight of the laptop. We have had to replace multiple top and bottom panels because of this. If you pick it up while its open, with two hands towards the front of the laptop, and then so much as move it a little in the air, the plastic shell noticeably flexes. We have been trying to train users to close the laptop before moving it, and to always hold it more towards the middle to avoid this.

Yes, I know the user is ultimately at fault here, but this can be an expensive issue for organizations with lots of laptops and lots of users, so it is often worth it to look for better build quality. Fortunately, the newer models have been a bit better in this regard, but it's always an up and down cycle with how they constantly try to see just how much cheapening they can get away with.

This kind of thing comes from American Puritanism on the internet.

Well, the last piece of that sentence is the key part. I, and most everyone I know, have no problem using English language words. It seems to me that the only reason to censor yourself with weird, invented terms is because you want to be able to monetize your content on YouTube.

Did you post this also when Musk said THE EXACT SAME THING?????

Unemployed people can't buy stocks.

More seriously, both this and Musk sound like the government seizing company assets and distributing it evenly to everybody. This is basically UBI, and it is a huge tax no matter how it is collected. It may work however, needs to be investigated with some seriousness and by people without preconceived notions of what will happen.
