    GOOD. I can’t think of any other industry where I’m expected to buy broken products and hope someone will come and fix it later.

    …OK, I just remembered every apartment I’ve rented and spent the next several days on the phone with maintenance. But other than that

        Yeah, the backwater slumlord who managed to avoid ever meeting me in person while bleeding me dry for three years isn’t the nicest comparison.
