Are you paying for the cheap tv by bringing hostile spywear into your home?
It's possible not, I suppose.

It is an Onn brand tv... so its super cheaply made, sold buy a fascist supporting company, likely contains Spyware, and will break after 3 years of consistent use. Hmm. That or 15 gallons of liquid corpses that i can burn to slowly contribute to the death of all life on earth.... hmm. Choices choices. Think I'll walk/bike.
The tv should have always cost more. That's part of the problem. America drunk on cheap consumer goods.
I canβt believe how cheap TVs are. I think I bought a 22β CRT 25 years ago and it was easily over $200.
E: a CPI check says a $220 monitor in 2000 is $435 today.
They're cheap because they use extensive tracking to make up the rest of their money
Compare any tv to a monitor of the same size and feature set
Yeah, they're selling you an ad platform. It won't be long before they start leaving off the HDMI ports.
TV is cheap because you are the product. CEOs want you to see their ads, their propaganda.
Gas is expensive because they have not yet found a way to stop car-owner from leaving the sofa in front of TV
Car companies could learn a lot from the printer industry.
If production of cars and oil were the same companies, cars would be as cheap as TVs and gas for them would be 10x current price.
But they do have ads at the pumps
Tvs are cheap because manufacturing costs came down. They were cheap before they were smart
Both are true. Manufacturing costs went down significantly, but non-smart TVs are now more expensive than equivalent smart TVs by over $100 from what I have seen.
Can you even get non smart TVs?
TVs harvest user data which is monetized as well
Visit Japan or the EU and their fuels prices make the USA cheap. It is odd in the USA, most people are concerned about fuel prices, but healthcare costs are far worse.
Healthcare is only for the weak. I am one if the elect; god loves me, so I won't ever need to think about that.
Tell me about it. Why is cost of gas what we focus on
A large portion of US adults don't understand the difference between simple and compound interest.
Many are living with less than 1 month salary as savings.
This results in a largr portion with neither the mental space nor capability (or both) to worry about 6 months down the line when they have to worry for 6 days down the line
Because you pay for gas every couple days with your credit card, while you pay for healthcare rarely
...DAYS?!
i drive to work every day and i refuel like every other month.

Idk if I'm winning or losing as someone that pays for healthcare way more often then gas...
Gas is a cheat code to decades of stored solar energy. It won't be cheap for ever. Once you mine up all that shit it's gone.
Look at WV and their coal. Use to have 12 ft coal seams. Now all that's left are hard to reach low quality 1-2ft seams. At some point it's not even worth the energy to extract.
There are people who believe the earth regenerates and creates more petroleum... In essence it will never run out
There's probably a step g correlation to flat earthers
It will! Just not within human life spans that's my answer usually. Alot of their thoughts are grounded in something real. Its easier then telling them they are flat out wrong usually.
Unless it's the flat earthers
It probably won't to my understanding. Most fossil fuels are from large organic material deposits (usually from plants) underwater or in low oxygen environments where they aren't disturbed/don't decompose. Basically the conditions for fossil fuels to be remade don't exist anymore so we really aren't getting any more
I neither, can I pay double for the Tv without the poorly named smartness in it?
I ride an ebike. Can someone explain the picture on the left? Is it some sort of tax booth for car ownership?
