zero sum game mentality

these people think currency is some made up concept

rather than just a name given to a practice probably as old as humans

which is "i give you x for y"

they probably think money should be free

They want Star Trek's history to become reality

they don;t think money should be a thing

in Star Trek's story, Earth goes to a moneyless society

they dont think, period

really they don't think farther than 1 or 2 steps beyond what is right in front of their face

they are near sighted

I thought the 20th century would push people away from socialism. Wrong apparently. These people can’t take the fact that humans aren’t equal.

millenials is all about feeling goof man

they see all these rich and poor people in the US and go "this is horrible" and then don't realize that even the poor are rich compared to the rest of the world

@YuXiang They can't take the fact that *nature* isn't fair

they also don't realize that, as bs and wasteful the release cycle of the iphone is, all these "rich" people buyign a new phone every year leads to the older still working models ending up in poor countries, basically ends up giving those people access to modern technology for free

just like the bikes i was talking about earlier

"nature is goooood. civilization baaaad". ignoring the fact we built civilization becuse nature wants to rip our balls off the moment we step into it.

Grenade, used iPhones don't always make it to other countries

no, but we throw enough away that more than enough do

Apple pays most electronics recyclers and redistributors not to allow their old products to go anywhere except an electronics shredder

well theres always a cost to logistics

it reminds me of that stupid article i saw of people drinking "raw water".

lol what

@Revan okay, not just iphones. smart phones in general follow the same trend

iphone is just the most ridiculous because of the price.

"why are new technologies only available for the rich?!"

@Grenade123 the article you posted on ahitposting was where i hot that comment from btw

i know

its why posted it

Lol got cha

Def does belong in shit post lol

Very accurate

There is a book series i like from one of my favorite authors. These aliens come and basically just take over the planet for its resources. But this one guy finds out they really like something stupid, like maple syrup. They pay him in what is basically trash electronics to them. But to humans, this is like sci-fi tech. Which makes him basically rich and advances humans far enough along to eventually beat the aliens.

Dude that sounds fucking awesome what the name ?

Author is John Ringo, he makes several series that i love, book series is Troy Rising

Thats cool i will take a look at it

there is only 3 books i think he sort of abandoned the series but its complete enough.

I really need to start reading ....

then start. 😃
