Well he did allow kegs-breath to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Seems like that may have been a red flag for those interested in reduced foreign conflict involvement. Welp, we have a war dept now, might as well use it!
The thing is that a lot of companies are pursuing this model, rent everything and people own nothing. All TV, movie, and music streaming is a replacement for physical media, gaming services have been headed this way for years, even cars are headed down this path. All big companies have their hands in consumers pockets and are competing for those subscription $$$.
What a great use of resources. Also, it seems like it borders on identity theft.
Soooo we have hope of some sort of international court stepping in and being the adult in the room?
