I read this meme in an anti-semitic voice.
But srsly there are best times of the year to buy a lot of things. For example, Christmas decorations are marked way down right after Christmas, and TVs are discounted right before the Super Bowl. Month-by-month guide
Capitalism is cancer, no it really is. It’s a system demanding infinite growth in a finite system. What the fuck else would you call that?
I thought capitalism was just that the market should be open.
I didn’t recall any mentions of infinite growth.
There’s really no point arguing with someone who thinks in memes, and definitely not with someone who leads with “Capitalism is cancer.” But business does have a “grow or die” philosophy, which could be what the person means by misapplying the term “infinite”. The mainstream business world knows literally infinite growth isn’t possible - although many people in business don’t see or acknowledge specific limits, or think they’re so far away they can be treated as infinite right now.
This, they keep thinking profits have to go up indefinitely, so they raise it far beyond what can be reasonably accounted for inflation. Then they wonder why no one’s buying.
The idea that “people need to afford your product” doesn’t register to these clowns.
“Damn Valve, pick a price…”
I’ve learned my lesson. I bought a graphics card and a monitor a few weeks ago. They were the kinds of desirable purchases that were never going to get discounted on Black Friday.
Idk, I bought a 4k 240 hz oled monitor for $300 off for black Friday, the lowest price it’s ever been. I think deals are still out there.
Deals are there, many are not worth the wait and the real (good) deals are often less desireable items.
At least from what i’ve seen myself.
But i always hope the more expensive stuff gets a discount so i can get something better than what i would’ve bought otherwise.
Right now there are a couple 4080 super’s discounted but it’s only like €80 difference for a model i would only buy if the difference was larger, so i almost ended up buying a non discounted 4080 super model.
Been watching a new GPU for the last week, waiting for my paycheck to come in
35% discount, steepest in it’s history according to CCC, holds right until this morning, payday, now it’s a 5% discount
Its not the usual scummy price shit but I’m def pissed off
