I'm not going to read all that, because you put lies at the start.
You said the whole movie industry, everything, and then you quoted only the small parts that they put on the teevee newsvertainment shows. It is just idiocy; you're using numbers that even include game hardware, but are you including video hardware like DVD/BR players? No. No you're not. Your numbers include merchandising tie-ins for games, but you're not including that for movies. If you do apples to apples, the game industry isn't just a little bit smaller, it is way smaller.
I'm assuming the rest of your analysis is of similar qual-i-tay.
My advice, find a copy of the book and read the analysis about the costs and market. You don't seem to even have understood the part I quoted. Maybe you're one of these people whose brains stop functioning when you see the word Capitalism?
You want to argue, but you didn't read the book, so you're not ready to argue with it yet.
I've been using the same brand of 5-blade razor for over 10 years. Yes, it has a fucking aloe strip. Yes, I'm very happy with it. No, I don't want to go back to three blades. No, I don't want 6 blades, either.
They thought they had a good point, but they didn't. The internet never forgets, never forgives them, here you are, Future Man, rubbing their faces in it. They're like the Smithsonian of fake news, give them a break.
There is nothing stopping a foreigner from buying an add on a billboard for a candidate? Why is this any different.
Nothing stops them from buying it, because billboards in America don't have to be pre-approved by the gubermint. Nobody stops you from putting it up, but then if you do somebody might get arrested; you, or maybe the person who accepted the ad buy.
Laws are enforced in the US after they are broken, not before. So you're right, this isn't anything different at all. Perhaps you just didn't know it would be illegal? Luckily, the people selling the billboard space usually do know. But foreigners are allowed to open businesses in the US, and are allowed to buy property, including billboards. So you could buy one and put the ad up, nobody would stop you before you did it.
I liked windows 3.1 well enough, though I usually used DOS.
I jumped ship to linux around Win98. Windows 95 I ignored because I could run all the apps in Win3.11 with 32S extension, but then around 98 the fad of checking the version in the app started, and I jumped ship.
Never regretted it, never had problems using business apps.
There is a lot more to accounting software than quickbooks. That's why that one is just the "quick" one, for people with few needs. It might actually just be personal tax accounting software for small business owners, too, since that is the part they actually have to do.
If you can do bookkeeping because you have a particular software application, you probably don't even need software to do your books, and you probably aren't using it to any advantage.
Don't be surprised if it automatically backs your home directory up to the cloud, re-installs the OS, re-installs the apps from the walled garden, creates links to your cloud data, and tells you to be happy now.
Also, don't be surprised if it does that after every unclean shutdown, or whenever the telemetry doesn't get through to the mothership for n minutes.
Stop adopting new paradigms, then. Linux gives you choice, why do you hate yourself? Why do you choose what you hate?
I'm still using xfce4 as the desktop. They haven't even updated the "about" window in 6 years.
If you don't want to manage versions... just stay in the garden. It doesn't have walls though, to trap you in; if you want people to manage that stuff for you, it is up to you to only install things through the package manager and not sideload or compile and install by hand.
The simple tools are harder to use, and require lots of knowledge.
It is the complicated tools that claim to be "smart" and to make things "easy" by doing the work for you; you didn't want to choose your own kitten videos, anyways, choice makes life hard.
These days, software has to be intentionally bad not to be portable. WTF is a "windows program?"
Now every time the credit card network has a blip, people are going to be installing Linux and WINE so that they can get their work done. And then they'll know the Truth about if they were really windows slaves, or just had been tricked into staying in an unlocked cage.
It wasn't based on a pilot, it was based on a short film from the UK. Great film, one of the best pieces ever made. But not a pilot for that crappy American TV show with the really awesome sound effects and trailer.
As I was a child I had no idea about the film, but the advertisements for the TV show made it appear to be the best thing ever. But it was so bad, nobody knew anything about it other than the sound effects! But those sound effects could be heard being massacred in the school cafeteria every day.
Generally, most people agree that there is a huge difference between people eligible to vote in an election trying to influence each other, and foreigners who aren't supposed to be involved in the election doing it.
Unfortunately, the guy in the story is one injury away from being a greeter at a box store, while his friends who are still in college will have office jobs where any injury would likely be a papercut, but even if serious, would be easily accommodated.
My generation was targeted by credit card companies and we also saw the massive defunding of public higher education and thus the increase of cost to the students themselves.
I remember a friend of mine, on his way to getting a Masters of Psychological Anthropology degree, racked up about $25k of credit card debt. Mostly buying weed. No big deal, that's easy to solve with bankruptcy. The student loans for the useless degree (he wasn't even trying to be a teacher, so wtf?) are still dragging behind him, though.

They can, and they will. This will get tossed out. It is just a NIMBY feelgood measure that everybody knows won't really go into effect.
You can do better than that, ever hear of the Spanish-American war?
Did you have a point?
But what about mosquitoes? And the Hun invasion of Trace? Surely that justifies something or other.
And whatabout the squirrels?! Do you have any idea what sort of naughtiness they're up to?!
You: "The world isn't perfect, so please don't oppose my crimes!"
Not impressed. Doing my best McKayla Maroney impression.
If you can't find a lie, then I found it! ;)
Did you notice that you did the exact thing you complained that I did, except you added a factually untrue statement?

"liberal arts" means that you had to take English and other things unrelated to your science degree.
Everybody who got a science degree at a real University has a "liberal arts degree."
The alternative is to go to a trade school, where you don't have those extra requirements.

No they won't, they negotiate custom license packages. No announcement of this sort ever has had to do with that. In your whole life.
Quickbooks is your example of bookkeeping software?

You can't run a library, it doesn't have the right entry point.
A partial illiterate might be able to look the symbols up in a book. It might take all day, but they can often manage.
But this problem is worse; aliteracy. They know how to read, but they refuse. It makes it seem to them that it is impossibly hard not to copy/paste.

You might be a bit confused about why they run a different version, or what the differences are.

I wonder why it is you didn't know that?
Wow, I'm surprised you made it out of cable newsvertainment long enough to type all that. Good work. Keep it coming. Freedom is possible, you'll see!

Generally, they not only have smart phones, they also pay student fees that include access to campus-wide wifi, so they're double-covered.
