@leyonhjelm@icedquinn Okay okay Let's say you suffered a accident and need a machine to keep you alive until surgery You have to die because energy is not a right and the power company can simply fail to do their job with no consequences? You mean that, the power's company being able to not be held accountable for being incompetent is more important than your life?
@icedquinn "Nah bro, 100% is because of terrorism, totally not spying, yeah bro we totally need 5 bazillion cameras inside your bathroom, yeah bro trust me"
@icedquinn@leyonhjelm Aka "I cant be held accountable for my actions because I don't want to deal with the consequences" And because they're in power, they simply can do that... it's hell
@icedquinn@leyonhjelm In theory it is still expected On paper, if there are two companies(A and B) providing X, and one of the companies(A) fails to do it's job and provides X, it'd fail to remain in the market, and the others will take over(B on this case) Yet, in practice, the very existence of monopolies and the whole shenanigans in the power lets the company that fails to do it's job to continue in the market while still not providing what they're supposed to, which causes way too many problems
@leyonhjelm@icedquinn "The government does not run the power companies" Power companies are the providers that grant energy Without energy, food spoil, people in hospital dies, organs such as police and fire department are unable to operate, and more importantly on a capitalistic point of view, banks can't operate This means, power is not a luxury, but a requirement, it is needed
Which means, it does not matter if the government runs it or not, power companies are required to have the obligation to supply something that is needed, otherwise it is simply a failure point that is bound to stop working, and cannot be relied on
That's System 101, you cannot make a required dependency be unreliable without causing the entire integrity of the system to be compromised That only shows that the Government cannot be trusted and cannot be relied upon They failed their position, and by consequence, the entire chain
It doesn't matter who runs it, who's the one responsible, whoever provides a needed dependency has to be held accountable by such dependency
@leyonhjelm@icedquinn Ah, yes, the mentality that everything has to revolve around profits otherwise the very fabric of spacetime will collapse into shreds Quite annoying that the ones giving the shots about how to rule stuff goes for this stupid mentality, even tho it had been proven time and time again it just results in shit being exponentially worse in the long run Yet, it's business and profits, any shred of thinking on the long run is entirely forbidden and you can only go about profits in the short run and the current quarter Who cares if this will cause the world to collapse in the next quarter? The current quarter made profit, it's all that matters
@TechConnectify I finally remembered my weird dream I binge-watched all the VHS related videos last night because didn't felt like doing anything else(yay procrastination) When I went to sleep, I had a dream where you were in a video talking about 'different kind of weird technologies', and there was one called 'weirdly weird' and at this point I feel like my brain is just poking fun at me
