Do both. Most people won’t do the right thing unless they’re pressured into it. I don’t give a shit if you want a tablet, that’s your problem - I do give a shit if you buy a new tablet every couple years when the old one works just fine. Swap “tablet” for pretty much any non-essential thing.
Also, why the fuck would anyone work for a regime that is destroying the world for all future and some current generations, AND has thrown them away in a way we make a crime to do with our actual literal garbage? Fuck you if you want me to, y’know?
Are you braindead or just illiterate? I straight up meantioned not caring about the occasional trinket so rubes like you wouldn’t need to think too hard.
no but it’ll still run like shit, and be vulnerable to security issues. My android phone is 7 years old and can barely do the two things i need it to do.
Or, sometimes people who are poor have to constantly buy new phones because they frequently can’t keep up with the payments.
When you lose service for nonpayment, you may have few options other that to buy a new phone (as part of a service plan) once you can afford it.
Still the point is that it’s an essential item and it’s kind of a jerk move to be judgemental about that when billionaires got richer faster than any other time in history through the pandemic.
Hello from your South superpower neighbor, Brazil. We have free healthcare, free higher education, acceptable welfare, loads of dumb people and cheap chinese products. On the plus side, at least our electricity is overwhemingly green.

Non essential as in…if you are poor you deserve the basic nutrients to not die and that’s it?
America is the richest most powerful country this globe has ever seen and you want to shame poor people for wanting the occasional shiny thing?

Still more pathetic than the glorious Roman Empire…
Rome gave poor people a grain allotment every month.

Why are you like this?
tell that to the big companies that produce ewaste tablets from the get go, that no longer get updates after two years.
It doesn’t stop working just because it’s no longer updated. I know someone using a 10 year old android phone.

Buying a new tablet every couple of years: something poor people notoriously do.
Swap tablet for phone, and the answer is yes.
The answer is no there too. I don’t think you understand what ‘poor’ means. Many of them have phones that are subsidized.

Poor people don’t buy phones every few years because they’re poor.

'muricans and their anglocentric view, man… I swer, you lot don’t even think there’s a world beyond your borders.
I see, so which country do you live in where impoverished people can afford to buy a new phone every few years?
Hello from your South
superpower neighbor, Brazil. We have free healthcare, free higher education, acceptable welfare, loads of dumb people and cheap chinese products. On the plus side, at least our electricity is overwhemingly green.Oh, so you mean poor people replace their crappy phones that only last a few years when they break.
And you think they shouldn’t do that.
Got it.
Once again you prove to be illiterate…
