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)...
- People, #StopBuyingAboveMSRP!

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 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/24/trump-pete-hegseth-extremism #spheresovereignty

Anyone else in #Canada notice that bags of roasted in-shell peanuts have gone up 650% in price? I used to get 1k for $1, 2k for $2. Now it's 1k for $6.50, $2k for $12.50. That's an unbelievable price raise
❝ 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.

@jk Richtig. Schön wäre es auch, wenn jemand für die Eurozone untersuchten würde, wieviel echte Inflation tatsächlich vorliegt - und wieviel eher #greedflation ist.
Denn die üblichen Krisengewinnler stehen besser da denn je.
