I rewatched Wall-E the other day. I forgot just how staggeringly good that movie is. How the hell does every single robot have their own personality. Not to mention how everyone that Wall-E interacts with ends up for the better, after a lil chaos, of course. I cried so many times. I’m 33.
It seems to me that the future of electric mobillity is more car renting/leasing than car ownership. Servicing will be included in the monthly payment and you won’t have to service it yourself
Not just cars. The logical endpoint of capitalism is a rent-only economy. Everything will shift in ownership to the ones with the ability to purchase above the market price. Undercut everybody for infinite gains in the future.
Edit: I should say that i meant unregulated capitalism. I honestly don’t find anything wrong with people being well payed for doing exceptional things. Taking advantage of capital gains is NOT exceptional.
You’re right, but I just noticed something about that (I’m probably very late to the party here): so an endpoint of unregulated capitalism is that ownership is limited to a few, who almost certainly acquired ownership through some form of class exploitation and theft. Or, to oversimplify it…ownership is theft. Hmm, sounds familiar.
Renting forever sounds like a nightmare. They already took housing from me. I don’t want to keep losing things.
I don’t know. Personally, I see myself earning a high income and renting a home and a car to free myself from the angst that comes with ownership.
I respect your opinion. I don’t feel the same.
I’d rather service it myself and save my money, and own it so I know that it’s been properly cared for and not shit/cummed in by a dozen people.
Funny, I felt the same way about my wife, but she surprised me in the end…
