Wow...
You're kidding, right? This is just a troll, I hope? "Soulless monopolies"? It's a business. Of course it has no soul... it's a legal abstraction. Yes, they would take someone's last dollar and let them move onto the street. This is not because they are soulless or cruel, or even just because they are looking out for themselves. It is because they have to suppose that their customers are bright enough to not spend their last dime on a P4EE 3.2, and instead go buy food and pay rent. Do you have a job? Does your business work with customers? Do you ask every one of those customers, "How will this purchase affect your financial future? Will you have enough money to pay rent if you do this?" Of course not-- that would be insulting and would drive your customers away. Stop posting mindless drivel and try to make a valid point, OK?
