Today I learned upkeep of heavy machinery is considered a subscription service.

I bet you think drinking water is a subscription service too.

You do literally get a monthly bill for it, so... yeah?

That's not a requirement. That's literally not a requirement. You used to be able to literally go down to a body of water and drink from it but like I said humans suck. If we didn't you'd still be able to do that.

There's nothing stopping lots of people from having a well dug either.

That probably isn't the example you want to use. I pay a monthly fee to get clean water pumped to my apartment, as do most people.

No offense but the reason you can't just have clean water anytime you like is because humans suck, not because it's a subscription service. I said what I said.
