This is just more proof that a federalized society is untenable.

The wealth of the elders is due to many years of printing money.

Of course tacit ageism against the youth to protect old people who cannot do the work of keeping themselves alive is perfectly acceptable.

Everyone everywhere being on the hook to prop up dying people will never be an equitable system.

Deference to the past needs to go. I don’t owe believing other peoples grannies are worth the value printed on government totems of power (coins) and private bank statements (scripture of power with no real power if we don’t accept their validity).

It’s hilarious anti-government types are perfectly accepting of their spreading the gospel of the dollar; that somehow is not government conspiracy to co-opt agency.

Cancel the past. Their spoken traditions need not be ours.

Chewy does this really well, and follows this same advice.

I get pet food on subscription. Chewy sends me a notice my order is about to ship. I can skip or cancel if I want.

Shopify on the other hand is hostile. I have a small store there I've deprioritized. They have a $9 / mo inactive plan, where they keep your stuff but customers can't buy. If you want to stop paying, they delete all of your stuff & domain: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/pause-deacti...

Amazon subscribe and save is the same thing.

I use it for toiletries and other routine consumables at home. Amazon trucks are going to be on the road anyway; may as well save my car trips for actually interesting trips.

I prefer it, did not even notice the change until I saw it called out elsewhere online… relativity confirmed… again!

yesUgotit commented on Apple expands Self Service Repair to Mac notebooks   apple.com/newsroom/2022/0... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti

Tim Apple built his computer so that if I bump it off my waist-height table, it will shatter into a million pieces and I'll be out >$500. Conveniently, Tim Apple also sells a peace-of-mind insurance policy that replaces your Mac no-questions-asked. Does this create a conflict of interests that encourages them to design fragile display assemblies, unfixable Logic Boards and un-upgradeable storage? You decide!

After butterfly keyboards and graphics card recalls, I think Apple has learned some lessons about selling crap.
