Does the company offer a lifetime warranty

jansport backpacks. but when i sent them a backpack i’d been using since the 90s that started coming apart, they replaced it with the shittiest cheapo version they have

so unless the product only has one version of a thing, don’t be surprised when they replace your $80 thing with the $20 version

Solar panels, trains, wind turbines, bicycles and so forth all have to be made and they usually turn a profit

that may be true, but who owns all the lawmakers?

spoiler alert: it’s not the damn bicycle companies

it’s about money. that’s it. big oil has the money, and wants the rest of the money–renewables hinder that, so renewables are hobbled forever. it seems like it should be more complicated, but it’s not. it’s the money, period

there will never be any immediate profits to be made from fixing climate change, and the people who profit from not ever fixing climate change aren’t the ones who have to worry about climate change

that’s why climate change will never be fixed, no matter how stupid tech billionaire CEOs are

this is why everyone who’s getting screwed on pay should be quiet quitting with no remorse

i’m happy to pay for some things i don’t directly benefit from: public school, school meals, abortions, etc. but if someone thinks i’m going to pay for a product i never received, for no other reason than their for-profit ‘line always go up’ corporate bottom lines, then they can go fuck themselves

enough bootstrapsing, and one day you too could be the top wine glass! now get back to work, peasant
