@stevewest131 You really are mentally challenged as you're incapable of putting 1+1 together and getting 2. How 'they' can restrict you is easy - they just disable your 'licence'/account or take back their property (be it furniture, car or house). When you subscribe / rent / lease everything, you have zero rights to it as you don't own it. Look at 'smart' aircon's in California & Queensland - the govt remotely set them to 25 to 'protect the grid', the people had no way to cool off or set a lower temperature in 40 C + heatwaves. Look at what they've done on streaming - people 'bought' shows only to find them gone when the service 'sold' the rights to another service. Look at cars in China - don't pay the subscription, the car magically stops working entirely. Rent / lease a car, miss a payment and you'll likely see a tow truck taking it away immediately. Most people own basically nothing these days, everything is leased / subscribed / rented. Also, when everything is subscription based, there's no need for shops as people aren't buying anything. This also means that they'll use whatever's made available. This is great as it means you can get the crappiest product and charge subscriptions as if its the best product and the users have zero way to say no. That's pure profit and its guaranteed as there's no alternative way for the users to get access to a better product. Its literally not hard. The fact you're trying to deny that people are very close to not owning anything anymore and the fact that you think its impossible to stop people owning things, shows that you're braindead or are a confrontational chat-bot whose primary command is to deny the real agenda so that it can be 'snuck' in.
