I think you’re mistaking people’s acceptance of the inevitable accidental mishap for condoning outright theft.
You intentionally steal. And not bare essentials at that, opting for the “nice” items even.
This isn’t the white knight move you think it is.
To my knowledge, no buyers have received their devices. Some media samples were sent.
This is almost certainly a ploy to get an influx of buyers before the cutoff of July.
They want to round up all the people that they think were considering a lifetime pass, but were holding out.
I guarantee you when July comes they’re going to reduce the cost to somewhere less than $750 and much closer to the current price due to “we listen to our customers” when really it was the plan all along.
They’re using the Decoy Effect and FOMO.
I’ve been trying to reframe things like this in my mind.
Instead of contemplating if the world would be better if they were gone, I tell myself that my wish would be for them to just be a good person.
I’m not trying to be righteous. But I think, framed like that, a good person would choose the latter. And if it really came down the power to disappear somebody, I think most people would err on the side of good.
But retribution and vengeance are strong in our lizard brains.
