In Capitalist America, Business Screws YOU Part 2

Does anyone know why we still use those weird outlets that go where the cigarette lighters used to go in cars? I don't drive, so I basically know nothing about cars, so does anyone know why we don't just use standard outlets in cars?* You'd think that would make things a lot easier, wouldn't you?

Maybe they just want to force us to use the pain-in-the-ass car adapters. Those things are pretty stupidly expensive for something that shouldn't even have to exist. It would be pretty devious of them to keep that stupid tradition alive just to squeeze more money out of us. And after all, isn't that what business is all about? Screwing people out of their money? You bet your ass it is. If you don't think it is, you don't know enough about business.**

It's pretty messed up, really, the way they do that. It's the same way light bulb companies make lightbulbs deliberately crap so that we have to buy more of them. We HAVE the technology to make lightbulbs that essentially last forever, but they don't make them. Because then they'd go out of business. Maybe they could just hire in to sneak into your house and break your lightbulbs.***

**On an unrelated note, I know nothing about business.
