    I wonder how much it would’ve cost if we didn’t have a dumb mother fucker in charge and greedy rich bastards weren’t hoarding all the supplies

      it’s not just the one dumb motherfucker in charge, it’s practically the entire goddamn government. anyone who isn’t vocally outspoken against AI companies and aiming to put a hard stop to their data centers is fully responsible for any and all harm they’re currently causing (and the hardware inflation is such a minor part of said harm).

      anyway abolish capitalism and send techbros to the guillotines

          Reorganize our economic system into one in which the means of production, ie factories, farms, utilities etc, are collectively owned by the people instead of being owned by the rich elite who take all profit for themselves.

        it’s practically the entire goddamn government.

        Why don’t you draw the logical conclusion, and realize it’s the American population that elected the dumb motherfucker that is responsible for the entire administration. And the American population that also elected a congress that doesn’t do anything!

        For fucks sake, Americans elected an obvious psychopath for president, with an equally psychopathic vice president!!!

        Edit:
        I’m guessing the downvotes are Americans that are in denial, because the above claims are undeniable facts, except the motherfucker part, which is rhetoric I borrowed from the previous posts.

          Careful, lemmings hate it when you point out that voters and non voters are responsible for the government we have, or that it’s largely a reflection of the culture and society we propagate.

          Electoral politics means nothing when the entire issue is rooted in the very foundations of the country and capitalism as a whole. One dumbass being elected isn’t an anomaly, he’s an inevitable symptom of the problems that have been there for ages.

            So are you one of those that claim that Republicans and Democrats are the same?
            That having a Republican controlled congress with a Republican president is the same as if they were both Democrat?

            because if you answer that with a yes, I think I’m just gonna block you.

            Edit:

            Really downvoted for saying the truth? Americans sure like their delusions and false equivalences. 🤮🤮🤮

          The American people are some of the most propagandised on Earth. Our education has been eroded over decades and we are steeped in a media sphere almost entirely owned by the wealthy which constantly discredits anything remotely socialist and tells almost nothing but lies about the outside world. People can’t even usually protest in a serious way without losing their jobs, and therefore their healthcare and housing. When protesters burned down the police station in Minneapolis in 2020, that was ranked with a higher approval rating than nearly any politician elected at the time.

          Even if a good candidate is elected, the power comes from the wealthy, they will subvert any thing progressive using their trillions of dollars and surveillance panopticon.

          So a lot of Americans did vote for this horrific administration, but most people don’t even know what they are voting for, and voter turnout is egregiously bad because most people don’t feel they can even trust what they are told about politics.

            Exactly, taking your country back, should start with taxing the rich heavily, not with giving them even lower taxes. That would be a good start for Americans.

      Apparently Valve said to look at the Steam Deck price hike for a clue. So probably around $750 for the base model.

        LTT got a bit of a guess from Valve, the estimate is that the price was adjusted roughly in line with the recent Steam Deck increase.

        Puts it about 850 or so for the base model if I’m estimating properly, but that is going from announcement to now, not all the way back to the beginning of all this mess.
