I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.

  • OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.

And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...

As #GamersNexus pointed out: This is #Greedflation!

There is no other explaination re: 42% above #MSRP for #GPU|s that ain't having hands-on customer support for extreme overclocking!

  • Like those were absurd but one could at least justify the price with the added cost of having to basically pre-pay at least 1 hour (if not multiple hours) of labour for a spechalized technician that walks people through on #extreme #overclocking!

@TomWellborn Of course they’re not. Biden got inflation down way under 3%. Our target is usually 2%. It’s #Greedflation Project 2025 has nothing in it to help Americans, it’s all about destroying our administrative state and installing the broligarchy as the ruling “class”. It never was about the #economy stupid. It’s always been about White Christian Nationalism and broligarchy. #uspol theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j #spheresovereignty

❝ The Federal Trade Commission sued the largest U.S. distributor of wine and spirits—Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, LLC (Southern)—alleging the company violated the Robinson-Patman Act, harming small, independent businesses by depriving them of access to discounts and rebates, and impeding their ability to compete against large national and regional chains. This loss of competition ultimately harms consumers on choice and price.

🗣SOLIDARITY WITH NYC’s #UAW #Local2179 WHO WENT ALSO ON STRIKE!

they are workers of one of my local bookstores, #StrandBooks. after crying for years for donations and bailouts, the owners won’t raise the minimum wage by 50 cents nor pay overtime.

meanwhile, they tripled prices and now a used book is almost as much as a new one. #greedflation in #NYC is out of control.

don’t cross the picket line, online or off.

@mina @Nickiquote not only that, but anything that even closely resembles #cash in terms of #anonymitiy anf #fungibility like #Monero gets criminalized.

  • Not to mention cash just works and IMHO curbing on it's use is inherently bad, to the point that I thing the #ECB should make an #ES2 version of the #500EuroBanknote as the rising #Greedflation makes it more "necessary" than before...

People who argue one doesn't need cash because #card and #NFC #payment and #SEPA #WireTransfer exist would also argue people don't need #PressFreedom because they can write #LettersToTheEditor...

  • TBH I think that cash should be enshrined as acceptable payment methods, as the only exceptions I know [i.e. #RealEstate and #CarRental] are grounded in #security concerns:

Most car rental places don't want to handle cash and demand #KYC for insurance reasons and most banks and notaries (who also have to do KYC & #AML anyway!) have less money onsite than the average Supermarket has in a single cash drawer and don't like having that much stuff onsite anyway.

Maybe someday the whole bread pricing investigation will FINALLY be over with and they can move on to investigating #Greedflation before we all starve to death out in the streets because we can't afford houses anymore and wood shacks and lean-tos and tents are all illegal now for some reason, meaning it's illegal to just be alive in Canada

Happy Thanksgiving America
