  • Oh you’re one of those. So are you the Russian or MAGA type? Which dumbfuck propaganda machine that relies on having no individual critical thinking capability do you get your talking points from? Doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same in the end.

    I’m not a mod or an admin. But ml is well known to block anything critical of Russian propaganda and claim all sorts of unrelated reasons that never actually apply. Just taking a quick stroll through the public mod logs shows that every day. Just imagine what they’re scrubbing from public view.







  • Revenue is not profit, and even then its not about whether they have the raw cash. Monthly, and quarterly, and or even yearly payment raw cash flow isn’t how any healthy business operates.

    They still have to maintain the existing network, continually upgrade that network, plan and test for future upgrades costing tens of billions in additional capital expenditures, and pay for all of the network support, customer support, and marketing, and and sales teams behind it all.

    All of that has to be funded via those profits across years of infrastructure planning. If they don’t have the money when a new generation of technology comes on the market, then they don’t have a way to upgrade their network.

    Covering an additional 25% increase in cost for your overpriced Apple TV subscription is a very low fucking priority.

    No one is leaving T-Mobile because Apple is raising the price and T-Mobile isn’t covering it. They’re leaving because they’re already considering it and this is a final straw. Despite that also meaning they’ll be paying Apple $12.99 for it instead of $3 through T-Mobile. But I guess paying $13 more for it instead of $3 must somehow make sense for some people.


  • If you mean by Apple, then yes. The Apple TV add-on pricing is increasing by $3 on both the currently free add-on, and the separate purchase. You want them to just eat that $3/month additional per customer?

    What am I saying, of course you do. It’s obvious based on your original response. You have been getting this perk for nearly 5 years already. You still get the same perk, T-Mobile paying for the plan up to a specific amount. Apple has increased their price and T-Mobile isn’t going to cover that increase for you.






  • Of course. They’re massively profitable.

    1. You can ignore half the emissions standards requirements

    2. People want them because they’re scared of driving a smaller vehicle while the other massive trucks on the road can crush them.

    3. They always talk about the ability to move things like furniture or equipment or things like thag despite only doing that twice a year, and rentals existing, including directly from places like Lowe’s and Home Depot.

    4. People are willing to pay a premium because they mistakenly think that bigger vehicles cost substantially more to make because bigger must mean a lot more material, despite most of a vehicle being empty space.
