   this is why the rule is to careful psychoanalyzing people from a distance. While this *could* be an important factor of his mental model, it could also be a representative item which he simply uses to describe a series of things.
   
   The Maginot Line is something I like referring to, but it doesn't mean I think everything is WW2; to me it's a big example of how you can put a ton of effort into a defense and things can change to render it completely useless.

     Like this - it's just the same thing as the mob logic of "only conduct business in person"

     @sickburnbro A little bit of me cries whenever i see the young uns conducting their not legal enterprises on text and Facebook messenger. No survival instincts.

     @Kang_Kong3 examples simply need to be made. Most of them will just simply end up in jail or choose to stop making things worse.

     @sickburnbro house call appliance repair (including TVs) is absolutely still a thing, it's just not something young people even think of because they don't own anything worth fixing

     @deprecated_ii This is why I mentioned plumbers below. Graham is arrogant, but I'm not sure if he's actually a moron on just playing one on twitter.

     @sickburnbro One of the mid level managers in my company uses sports analogies for everything. He has clearly never played a sport in his life and I question if he even watches games.

     Yea Samsung still has contractors that do warranty repair. Louis Rossman did a video on one of the shittier ones who slashed the guys TV to try to get out of warrantying it.

     They might not be "repairmen" in the traditional sense. (I'm going to guess they just take the panel and replace it for the warranty. But the original probably gets repaired at a service center and sold as a "factory certified" refurb or something).
