The purpose of a factory is not to provide jobs.
It's intended to made widgets that can then be sold at a profit.
It's not a social welfare program.
Those three statements are policy choices, not objective facts. Capitalists like to present them as inevitable, but of course they are not; they are only presented as such because it's in capitalists' interest for people to see them that way.
You must be somebody that watches porn for the character development and the story...
Actually, I like watching the stunt men and special effects.
Nah, they're just jealous that other people's fuckups have been dominating the news, and they want some of that old-fashioned media love too.
Adjusted for inflation, the 2TB model is a bit cheaper than a Panasonic 3DO or a Neo Geo was at launch.
Additional context: at the time of their release, both the Neo Geo and the 3DO were considered to be unaffordable, except by the very rich.

Or "donate" to an appropriate "charity".
What tripe. Heart surgeons? Structural engineers? You sound like a cliche machine. Please, find me an example of this fantasy. Spend the tokens, bitch.
When I registered for college, during the orientation they said that pre-meds are the group most frequently caught cheating.

Alas, pretty soon you won't even be able to find real porn.
