I think the rich are more prone to buying new items. Eventually the prices of used items will rise as a result of demand, but not right away. No one needs a new game console, and few could not meet their needs with a used PC or laptop.
Most in the US already have all of the above, but sure, this disproportionally “hurts” the poor.
Where the hell have you been? Even I’ve already heard about this tyranical oligarch. Haiti has no effective government, and this fascist is largely to blame.
The PC parts pipeline is ever-so-slightly more diverse, although the article does say Laptop prices could go up by 46% …
Look forward to more machines being assembled in other countries before hitting US soil, same as is already done for appliances by way of Mexico. Lack of imagination and industry knowlege on the part of whoever wrote the article, or just the desire to fear-monger.
Frankly, prices rising is not something I care about. Taxing the rich has to start somewhere, even if its what the Dems should have been doing.
Seriously, where are the stop-blocks, and why is that curb so low?
Silver Lining. Fuck Consoles. Nothing that powerful should have most of its capabilities locked behind DRM, Licensing, and Walled Gardens.
The only significant policy change between the two was the legalization of weed. Can’t tell me its the weed that made Harris less popular. In the end, she got my vote, where Hillary didn’t, and still lost. Decades of conservative-lite policy momentum is a helluva stank, it turns out.
Same things Hillary’s book said. No amount of reduced foreign propoganda will make up for shit policies. If the propoganda against you is spouting as many truths and lies as you are, its your own damn fault.
What Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank is genocide. Private Prisons and Deportation Facilities are evil. Private Healthcare is a waste of taxpayer money. Student Loans are an unconscionable trap. All of these are things Biden’s party, even Biden himself, foisted on us decades ago and continue to lie about to this day on multiple levels.
Pizza-gate was a quaint joke of a lie by comparison to the shit sandwich the DNC demands we swallow in excange for keeping the oligarchy/fascism we’ve had all along behind closed doors. So sad for you that our governments rhetoric will now openly boast about the things you’ve been comfortable with all along.
Sure, sure. The problem is not enough pandering, handouts and concessions to the ultra-rich and … checks notes … foreign enemies?
Okay, I can’t even remotely keep a straight face for that non-sense. Whatever’s replaced the fentanyl in your dealer’s weed supply, I think I might rather be dead than smoke it with you.
Unless maybe you mean China? … but if so, why repeat the “enemy” narrative?
Okay, but now we all need shirts saying “I’mma non-profit whoreganization” and/or “support your local non-profits”.
I thought about spewing some bull-shit about expecting money, versus expecting free meals, versus expecting sex or nudes or whatever, but lets be real, none of us gets an excuse for any of it.
Shut up, Hillary. You already wrote your stupid-ass book blaming everyone but yourself.
No, no he wasn’t. If he were a better president, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. The best thing he did was drop out of this race, and still, his policies left so much to be desired, that Harris lost the popular vote AND the race.
I voted Harris, by the way.
Should have been
Good. Fuck cheap oil. Help renewables win!
No one should be basing their “how to do it right” on a single forum comment. Talk about scope-creep for the offering of advice.
“… and God said, let us make man in our own image.”
I mean, in general, or in captivity? There is probably a huge difference.
Pretty much anywhere. Be nice if the AI could have obtained them a permit, in some jurisdictions, but failing that concern, I think I would enjoy finding out I was “duped” alongside thousands of others who share an interest of mine like so.
There are many days when I feel like this, and pretty muct every day for as long as I can remember, I’ve spent some time thinking about where I should go(outside the US) if fascism wins outright here.
Dicks are some of my favorite public art though. Right up there with tits and ass.
