    Glad I’m stocked on memory cards that should last me for a while.

    There is, however, a bigger problem that’s not addressed - manufacturers seemingly only playing nice to big corporations while screwing the end customer.

      It’s mask off time for capitalism. Business to person sales are no longer lucrative. All the money is in company to company now. See AI companies buying out entire present and future stock of PC parts until 2030. Regular people are no longer needed in this form of society. That’s why the market goes up while job numbers and employment go down. The economy can now support itself without anyone else.

        Well eventually someone has to consume something for all of this to make sense, no?

        Also isn’t this more the result of unhinged capitalism without any real workers pushback?

          Nope. This can keep going on. Big businesses with all the capital will continue doing trade exclusively with other big businesses and government. They don’t need our money anymore. And it’s not like we’re really going to have any trivial amounts of money anyways.

            And what does that money represent anymore at that point?

            Seems too many have forgotten that its the peasant’s labor that gives money any value.

            Money doesn’t produce anything.

            What’s the value of a dollar if it can’t buy you bread?
