its idealogical.
Why should people who work a normal working week not be able to afford to have a reasonably comfortable existence,when ,by accident of birth someone else can earn millions of dollars.Its just not equitable.And one way or the other it will end.
The most concerning part of this is when the "middle class" cant gain a foothold in "normal" society.The inequality cannot continue.
I dont know what the mechanisnm will be but we have to find a way ,because with so many jobs being lost ,jobs being casualised etc its going to get worseIt will get to the point where an even smaller percentage of people own everything, and the vast majority of people wont have the money to buy the stuff these people need to sell.

The gini coefficient for NZ has barely budged in decades, the "middle class" have never had it so good.

I know you don't believe that, and therein lies the core of the problem: the perception that it's all turning to shite, when the facts show completely the opposite.

$30 a week will knock two years of a $900,000 mortgage.

The banks must be laughing all the way to the bank with the prices of houses here.

Fortunately as a Baby Boomer who got the whole world handed to me on a plate with free everything* I'm ok.

Presumably it's so bad that the world tends to use the products in business / education, out of pity?

Nice rant, but poorly thought out.

i would hazard that >60% of businesses have a *nix backend. and 99% of shit-that-needs-to-get-done-and-not-fuck-up. like. every supercomputer and all of the internet, too.

like, can you just imagine a BSOD on the LHC?

many educators use linux, cos it's free.
and obvs now going to android (linux kernel) because it's cheap, ubiquitous, and they don't know any better.

If you really had to, you can eat a bowling ball.

Possibly they use it on a personal basis, but mainstream they are using a shedload of standard "office".
Strangely so do a lot of iFelch users.

microshit ported office to Mac. linux purists refuse to h4X0r that shit (mac= nix)
and for why? lotus, open/libre officehas been shitting all over microsoft since the fucken 80s

Basically the default setting is an MS product. Others vary but for compatibility reasons the majority still use the "old shit".

i'm not even sure what your point is anymore.
on a semi-related note, UAC on MS is poos. GPedit anyone? i mean what the fuck.
when your underlying file system doesn't support file permissions you're basically shitting in your hands and giving yourself a round of applause. or rather, bill shits in your hands and you pat yourself on the back for not killing any interns today because it's so fucking stupid from the outset.

Minimum wage goes up by almost a dollar, no one bats an eye. Coffee prices goes up by 10 cents and everybody loses their mind. Logic..!!
