THINGS PPWERED BY DC is a symptom of LATE STAGE CAPITALISM. it’s a corporate individualist SCAM to individualize and privatize power into batteries that the user is responsible for, instead of the collective resource of the grid. under FULL COMMINISM there will BE no dc power. and if we need batteries we will MAKE AC BATTERIES
A battery that is weirdly warm to the touch and making a wirrring sound.
And a load of warning labels like, don’t disassemble, don’t take it on a plane, dispose properly, etc.
Because the only way the boffins could make it work was bolting a piece of plutonium to a stirling engine.
