Free speech absolutists won't like this

How is this dumb engineering if the product made the company a lot of money?

SpaceX received plenty of funding from NASA as well as access to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

I suppose the question to ask is, would SpaceX have been as successful if not for all the preceding work and existing infrastructure/knowledge that was created by the government?

It's not fraud, it's market economics

Another fine example of the renter economy. You never owned the light switch. You merely rented it.

The economy doesn't work if you buy things that last.

Why would I do that if I can make more money doing rental economics?

Where would I get the starting capital to create such a company if the lenders and investors all want me to engage in rental economics?

If every place where you spend money engages in renter economy behavior, like creating impossible to repair products or requiring a paid membership fee or subscription, then where will you spend your money? If every property in your preferred neighborhood is bought up by a renter, then what?

The market loves recurring revenue.

A completely free market inevitably becomes a renter economy.

The irony of your threat of communism is that a free market will mean you will own nothing. In a communist government the government owns everything and in a truly free market economy the industrialists and private equity types own everything.

How are either of these good things? How does either one lift up all of society?

The market is not a reasonable measure of desire for anything other than profit.

Unless you think we all desire ads

Isn't this the same thing that happened during that massive blackout across Ontario and New York a while back?

I assume by this comment that you think urinal cakes are a dessert.

I'm too old sorry

I hear there are many jobs in farm fields in the US these days.
