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.

        One could argue that the endpoint of socialism is the abolition of individual ownership. Maybe there’s a bridge to be built there?

      Renting forever sounds like a nightmare. They already took housing from me. I don’t want to keep losing things.

      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.
