I know. Who designs this stuff?! I've had to stop myself from throwing tablets and phones more than once.

Capitalism just encourages this behavior, and to be sure the politicians are even worse.

I understand we don't have unfettered capitalism, but I don't think we can. There are plenty of vendors making tablets and phones and chargers, and their motivation is to maximize profit, so they make it as cheap as possible. I don't see that drive changing without regulation, and I see the situation getting substantially worse for workers and our planet. Lord knows an end to subsidies would be amazingly beneficial, but there's a lot more going on. I think, however, an end to centralized government can allow us to try multiple different experiments in various communities and see what works.
This should be a fun debate either way. I love talking about this stuff. I'm totally fascinated by it right now. I've been a progressive liberal almost all my adult life and have recently shifted to ancom. I've heard a lot about anarchy over the years but never thought it possible. Now I think differently.

I worked for a small company making medical monitoring equipment. We made the very best units we possibly could. We charged three times as much as others, but our business tripled in a decade, BECAUSE our monitors Worked, and theirs might.
WE, a small company, were destroying our big business competition, just by making better monitors and sensors. We did so well, that a mega corporation lied to my boss lady, and bought us out.

That is definitely another thing that happens. Buyouts and mergers rarely go well for the consumer. With things as they are now, most people simply can't afford to buy a higher quality or more ethically sourced product. For example, most people have at least a vague idea that sweatshops are a really bad thing, but when the t-shirt at Walmart is $7, how many people will buy the us grown, us sewn organic cotton one for 45? So few people can afford ethical choices. The scariest thing to me about China when I went there was how similar it is to the US. It's very capitalistic but with an incredibly oppressive communist government to squash any kind of unions or other justice movements. It's a nightmare. I just think the state is really the biggest problem. Whatever political or economic system you choose, a state with massive power is going to ruin any goodness inherent in any philosophy.
