  • An example of spending as power being a fallacy is high-quality products that everyone who buys them loves them. Then, to boost profits the company uses a lesser quality metal (like pocket knives, guns, etc.). It is short-sighted, but it may increase profits. If buying exerted power, companies wouldn’t trade out materials that people liked.

    I don’t let my kids drink from public fountains, either. You know that episode of Parks and Rec where the Pawneans drink from fountains by putting the whole fountain spout in their mouths? I’ve seen that happen. I’ve also seen kids wipes their snot-dripping noses and the touch the spout. I’m glad it’s available, but it’s a last resort.
