        Many say it is impossible to not buy it, but I say that one can actually not buy it.

            Bootlicking? I’m basically saying don’t buy stupid shit from shit companies who are price gauging.

            As a matter of fact people are indeed buying too much shit, no matter how overpriced things are. Leading to more overpriced things because people are buying anyway (and then maybe complain about it).

            I fully agree, these pricing tactics are scummy af, but the dude is right: stop buying everything and/or buy used.

              amen… if he came in with a more balanced approach here, i think it would have landed a bit better. but now, he decided to dig in on that hill, so he really did mean to bootlick.

              voting with your wallet is the the only effective direct action left under the current clown regime.
