We,thought television was addictive, more so the Inthernet, the smart phone, and now AI. Is being uncontrolable an accident, or perhaps planned so that we must buy security upgrades every year.

The customers addiction is good for increasing profits. So it was for the tobacco business, the liquer business, and ofcourse the drug cartels/

I am old enough to remember appilances were built to las for decades, and there were repair place to repair them. But making them breaks down in four of five yeara incresed profits and making them unrepairable in increased profits as well.

In Business increasingg profit is sacred, while your workers, and your customer are not. Having to constantly replace stuff increases inflation. Keeping wages below living allows the CEO and the board of directors to massively increase their own salary and increase pay in share offerings, and ofcourse the shareholders.But the majority of the country's citizens do not get a share of this.
