    Financing a phone with a carrier isnt bad if they offer a subsidy for it

    yeah its like deferring payments type credit card. if you add it all up its the same price as buying it straight up

    Synopsis

    In the scenario where he makes 200 and the worker makes one hundred? he did make additional money, because he put in more labor. You can't exploit yourself. This is the scenario that would occur if everyone was paid a fair wage. you get out what you put in, so to speak. no exploitation occurs.

    But also the point is, we aren't starting from zero. We have people who have never had a chance to have access to capital, who were shut out from the means of production, who were left with nothing to sell but their labor. therefore, the whole ownership process is illegitimate to me. these people had access to some sort of capital, and have used it to create a system that reproduces itself in perpetuity. sure, jeff bezos had an idea, but he also got a 300k loan and was not from a class of people historically shut out from the economic process. also, an idea only goes so far. is it not the workers who are keeping his wealth growing? and those workers are exploited.

    and again like i said, fair=/= equal

    but, i don't actually know if its possible under capitalism. why? because capitalism demands profits. how is profit created? the extraction of surplus value. and the extraction of that surplus value demands that a fair wage isn't paid.

    now, if, workers owned a store in a democratic, cooperative fashion, all decided that they would use their own surplus value to keep their business running, it would be ok i think. so if 5 workers all created 1000 dollars of value each over the course of the working day, but agreed to only make 700 in wages, so that we have a total of 1500 in surplus value to go towards logistical measures, this can't exploitative because as i said, you cannot exploit yourself.

    understood. we definitely don't agree on most of this but I respect your line of thought.

    I’m still on iPhone X and see no reason to upgrade for marginal benefits. Will do it again when they have another radical design change

    Agreed

    I jumped from X to 12 pro this year and I can assure you you're doing the right thing. AT&T was doing a $700 trade in deal for the X so I jumped on it but like you said the changes are marginal.

    I buy my phones unlocked but I am in no way shaming dudes for falling into that trap. Shaming the dudes that do it and try to act like they are rich itt

    all phones are unlocked these days.

    unless it's different down in the states
