    money only gains value when it is exchanged. If i take my $100 gold coin to best buy and buy a TV, bust buy takes that gold coin and pays it's workers, those workers take that gold coin and buy lunch, those restaurants take that gold coin and buy a college education for their kids, those colleges take that gold coin and buy a global warming researcher, that global warming research takes that gold coin and buys a new car... already that single $100 gold coin has bought $500 worth of goods and services. It is encouragement of exchange that creates a booming economy, not printing or withholding cash.

    this should be able to be abstracted away from the OS completely, have a capacitor large enough to power the drive long enough to flush the ram on power failure shouldn't be all that much required due to speed and energy efficiency of SSDs.

    Either people are paying these prices because there is a gun pointed to their head, or because they feel the phone service is worth the price, even with the additional buck or two in bogus charges. Accepting that it's not the first option as that is only being tried in a large scale with the new healthcare plan, the second option shows that both sides profit from the transaction. The customer in getting a wanted service, the provider in getting some cash.
