Watch they do. I know because I’ve reported things for violating electrical standards, etc and made damn sure to emphasize that to their support, only to seethe same continue thing being sold months later.

That’s willful ignorance. While the willfully ignorant can be stupid (lack of intelligence) more often it seems to be due to arrogance and/or just being an asshole in general

the end consumer always foots the bill.

Or the consumer can’t/won’t take on the extra burden of cost, and the business loses enough sales to go under.

I actually don’t consider this an issue of being dumb. It IS an issue with being under-educated (often deliberately in R states) and fed a ton of propaganda

No. I paid for all my books but so not use Audible etc to access them
