Neo-feudalism at it's best. Make them pay the manufacturing costs but also make them rent the thing they paid for
It’s where every industry is striving for. To continually get paid for something forever.
We call them landlords until we call them compost.
“make them rent the things they paid for” makes my blood boil. Like paying for a Wi-Fi router each month even though after a year it’s all paid off, they’ll still just charge you for it, literally free money by the millions for them. Fuck you Comcast.
