    There’s absolutely no argument to be made that requires accepting all tech simply because it’s tech.

    False dichotomy and a stupid comic strip making a stupid point all the way down.

    If we cared about this issue we would be pushing for the installation of representatives who want to ban planned obsolescence and systems that require you to have the newest, most expensive vehicles, appliances and gadgets. Our current entire government is subservient to and employed by companies that make billions on this manufactured consent to always “needing” to spend our labor on useless junk.

    To say nothing of the inherent, massive problem that we made it legal to buy and own politicians.

      Yeah no. You just didn’t understand the comic and made a stupid point. It happens.

        Okay, ya’ll kids keep arguing about “devices” while millions of people are forced to buy the newest phones so they can get their email and attend job interviews, while mountains of money get poured into politicians who are affording their fifth homes because Samsung pays them in wheelbarrows of cash to keep consumer protection agencies neutered or destroyed.
