They could start selling tiers of battery quality which TBH sounds awful if they make the best battery life duration paywalled.

And we love it

You DOG

That is the one upside to capitalism and you don’t even consider it a full upside?

I loved the jar of pickles joke. It somehow got me every time. Then they seemed to just drop it out of nowhere. Well I guess once she left, but still.

Fuck Asurion

No no, didn’t you hear? The US is FUCKED.

Yes and no. It’s basically just super complicated and we don’t know how much is each factor. But I would highly doubt that part of the rising costs is not also just because people are still willing to pay.

At the end of the day it’s supply and demand. And that fluctuates based on so many different things.

Interest rates being low and money being easy to borrow creates higher demand and will in part cause prices to increase.

Supply chain shortages create massive demand spikes that can have massive effects on pricing of certain products as the supply chain tries to stabilize.

The FED can employ quantitative easing to increase money supply and liquidity, which adds to inflation, but increases economic growth (Theoretically).

Or they can use quantitative tightening to reduce money supply and lower demand, slow growth etc.

Lastly companies understand how normalized inflation has become and can increase what they charge even if their cost of goods isn’t moving significantly. So there is certainly some degree of this happening.

Hopefully the market will re-adjust as profit margins change and consumers spending habits fully adjust to the market.

Basically if everyone re-evaluates what and how they are purchasing, the market has to adjust. If you buy the products you prefer at the inflated cost, companies are not going to lower prices. If you buy budget or off brand items where you can, they will be forced to change their strategy to compete.

Wtf even is this random propaganda

Could have been cool if the sceen was more like a daydream so it references it but doesn’t present it as fact. Although it is a drama/biopic not a documentary

How about repealing the Glass-Steagall act under Clinton? You cant look at things in a vacuum because impact from policy is delayed. 2008 didn’t happen because Bush signed one or two documents, it was decades of policy and corruption. Saying “The only president you know” seems quite unfair. Regardless if you think Trump is a shit-bag or not.

You have now not done the top comment on either of the first posts…
