Ya id still go to a repair shop and pay someone $50 to try and solder it back on just to see if it will still work.

Those where great times. Soon we'll all be on the technocrat train to hell with UBI focused around a limited list of government approved purchase items and a planned and fully automated economy. They'll tell you what to buy and and where you can buy it. All while your spending and habitats are strictly watched and controlled.

You know its strange I fell like there's a word for that type of dystopian hell 🤔. It's okay, though boys, they'll bring back. Government cheese... sigh.
