    If you can get the whole world to buy a new fridge at the same time you would be so insanely rich anyone would fund that. Instead of the reality where people buy it on a year to year basis and then eventually need to be replaced on a staggered schedule?

      It’s weird that people think this is how it works, that the way capitalism and investment works is you get a single payout. It’s not. You have to be able to keep providing gains. Otherwise your investors dump you for companies with steeper returns and you’re in the tank.
