When a monitor supports both display port and hdmi port, they need to supply 2 6 foot cables just in case? And what happens when 6ft isn’t enough for a specific situation. You need to then buy an extra one just in case?
Also, when buying replacements, the cables are totally unnecessary.
We have a bad enough problem with E waste. Making it worse for the sake of the tiniest convenience for the average consumer is ridiculous.
I think it has a lot more to do with the urban / rural political divide. And the fact that the cities are where political unrest will begin and take root.
They’re trying to stifle it before it gets bad, or use any violence as an excuse to increase the pressure.
Also, it helps normalize having soldiers in the streets , so citizens put up with it as a new way of living.

But at some point, you have to look around and say this isn’t business as usual anymore right?
Maybe we’re not there for you yet, but have you set up your own lines where you can say, once they’ve crossed that line, it’s not okay?
My lines were way back when he promised to chase down dangerous criminals, and they started rounding up day labourers. When they tried to pretend due process was unnecessary and undeserved by the people they didn’t like.
When they deployed military units in domestic cities under the completely bogus claims of emergencies.
Nothing they say is true, because the only thing they treat as true, is whatever is most expedient to them in any given moment.
There is no legal or traditional way of running the government that is safe from their perverting intentions.
Congressional approval is kind of a forgone conclusion at this point isn’t it?
I don’t trust any of the safeguards in place to hold. Some might. Some won’t. The ones that fail will be abused to a greater and greater extent as they test their limits.
David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified at Donald Trump’s hush money trial Tuesday about the “catch and kill” agreements between the former president and the tabloid, detailing arrangements involving Trump’s former doorman and an ex-Playboy model.
So it is actually kind of interesting that they'd be talking about this at all.
A lot of times places like that won’t look at you if you’re overqualified, because they don’t want to spend the time and effort to train you, knowing or expecting you to be looking elsewhere from day 1.
It might be that, but I don't think that makes it any less dangerous as a path to set precedent to start going after any political group that they don't like.
Couple that with an illegal, but unchallenged executive order (not implemented yet) to prevent candidates from running, or appearing on ballots who are 'under investigation', and the mid-terms could be completely derailed by bogus charges on key candidates, cementing the current administrations strangle-hold.
They've already shown they have to problem doing the exact things they accused the Democrats of doing, so I wouldn't put this past them at all.
I think Steven Miller is pulling a lot of the strings.
Early on in the presidency he was reported as the guy basically first and last to be with trump each day.
