That's better than any billionaire has done though unethical capitalism.

My partner at work. He's been there like 30 years and the joke is whenever we are struggling to fix something and I look for a part or tool, he'll somehow have it working by the time I get back. Just gets bored waiting and starts poking stuff and its done. I would be frustrated but our old coworker said that's been the status quo for a decade +

If that was their goal I could respect that. But I think they just wanted to sell their souls and make billionaires more money.

I got a recruiter email for some peter theil backed company putting ai servers in the ocean using the tide to generate power and starlink to transmit data. I kinda wanted to take the interview just to tell them how dumb this idea is and what pieces if shit they are for taking theil money. But I ain't got the energy for all that.

My own personal morals are with where are the profits going? To the corporation ceos and stars? Then 100% stealing is justified. The writers, crew editors, session muscisians, programmera, designers etc got paid a salary once and yet others profit off it for decades, nah. I hold off on current shows if I want them to keep making more seasons.

I do try and be more thoughtful with bands and authors. I go to shows and signings and buy merch directly from them. Lord knows they don't earn anything off Spotify so may as well have my own library. I get most ebooks through Libby and dedrm them or at least borrow for a day before acquiring elsewhere since dedrm seems more difficult these days.

Retro games they already made their money, liberate them or at least make it easy and cheap to own. Steam solved this for modern PC games by having so far a decent service.

So in your case shows over, no one sells it, and if they did only a corporation would profit. Take the show Ed, there was never a DVD release and there's nowhere to stream it. So what other option is there if you want to rewatch it?

In this economy?!

Mine have been doing that for 20 years. But I have soft hands and play 20-30 minutes a few times a week.
