    throw your imagined "fairness" in the trash, those tiny businesses are a gnats fart in a hurricane for employment and tax revenue.

    Oh that would be the religion that systematically molests and rapes people with it's deviant leaders, caused the crusades that mass murdered millions, turned millions over to brainwashed government for murder and torture, held back human progress for over a thousand years, causes people guilt and mental issues over normal behavior? What would we want more of that ilk in our country?

    I buy from there all the time, both U.S. amazon.com and amazon.jp in Japan, what are you talking about? Been a customer for 18 years

    Apples customers that make them money don't buy used out of warranty things, this is irrelevant to Apple market that makes billions of dollars.

    Apple is profitable, outlook is good.

  9. False, you spew in ignorance.

    leading cause is domestic violence, followed by unemployment and poverty.

    guess your sound bites don't hold up to reality, unplug from twitter and get real facts.

    no it won't hurt apple at all. this is fine. amazon wants to sell things that are supported by manufacturer, not randoms who peddle repaired things out of the trash with unknown quality.

    I'm surprised they allowed that stuff in the first place, people can go to auction sites or local used computer shops (my town has one) for that kind of stuff.

    You kids have no conception of how business and the real world work. Last I checked Amazon and Apple were doing well, so your opinions are worthless.

    yeah and that's why Amazon doesn't want the risk of someone buying unauthorized refurbishments, who'd stand behind a guy working out of his garage? I wouldn't and you wouldn't either.

    there is no problem here, plenty of other places that guy can sell his things to those who like that stuff.

    nonsense, there are plenty of places that guy can peddle refurbished apple gear, three big auction sites come to mind and others like him are there.

    non-news, so Amazon wants to be sure to sell supported products, that's fine

    No, when DST is in effect you are off standard time, the phrase "year round dst" would mean staying on that offset all year. We just went back from that offset to standard time

  14. learn when a generalization covers 90% the truth instead of being an autistic pendant harping on the fringe cases that don't matter.

    Most the homeless are able bodied adults that can speak that refuse to work. That's the only point that matters. Encouraging more to take up that irresponsible lifestyle is a bad thing.

    You are the one that needs to grow up and think like an adult, instead of harping on sound bites you picked up from social media.

    same shit different decade

    Elemental metal via electrolysis requires a hellish amount of electrical power, that's why aluminum is the easy win for recycling since 90% the energy saved.

    They could well up carbon emissions if China uses this method with all the lovely new coal plants they're building globally to fuel their offshore manufacturing.

    Remember kiddies, it doesn't really matter what the USA does any more for global carbon emissions, it matters a great deal what China's policies and methods are, and what India's will be in about 3 decades. Every time I post this truth some idiots here start whining about "per capita"...which is bullshit when the planet's carbon making "capita" are under Chinese policy.

  16. so you pay people not work, to be irresponsible bums, and now you're going to sink more money into the effort? You'll have even more hobos, is what you'll get.
