LG can go fuck off.

Love how these corporate executives these days can only use tricks to increase their profits rather than building better, more reliable products which gain more customers through hard work.

    But more reliable products means existing customers will buy again less frequently.

    There are nearly 8 billion people in the world and never in our history has there been as many people with disposable income. There are new customers out there. They don't have to simply fuck over their existing customers and continually fleece us.
