if you think about it, everything uses a rental model. i rent my tires, they eventually wear out. there’s a cost per day. i rent my jeans, they always get holes after a year or two. my shoes. toilet paper. olive oil. printer paper. a nice lunch is a short term rental. our bodies
@cabel I legitimately cant tell if this is intended as satire or not.
@xenonchromatic @cabel Same, is this “company CEO”-style rationalization of a hostile business model, or a parody of that? Consumables are obviously not rented, but it is possible for people to actually believe this makes sense, thus justifying turning everything into a “service”
