Ha, my previous comment was about late stage capitalism. Great minds think alike, huh?

I’ve come to the same conclusion. I’ve been wrapped up in political bullshit for years but trying to pull myself out because in all that time, no matter who wins, shit gets worse. The system does what the system will do and right now it seems determined to self immolate.

I can’t tell you how many articles I’ve read lately that can just be summed up as “late-stage capitalism”. This is the death throes of the nation.

Oh, I know, I’m being somewhat facetious. I do have 3D printers but that’s because I’m a nerd; not like, preparing for anything..

Duh, they want to be hardcore.

Right, my fully loaded vehicle was like 43k all in when I bought it in 2016. Today, the same car with the same trim level (granted a newer model) costs over 20k more.

That’s why one of the things I bought is a 3D printer.

truth, I feel pressure to buy the things I want because I have no faith I will be able to afford them later. I figure, get it now while I can so that when I can't, I'll have it.

Thanks, I appreciate the perspective, I’m trying to pull myself out of this bullshit, never been more clear that my vote means nothing, the system does as the system does.

Not exactly reliable and less than easy rma process.

Sorry, had typed this and forgotten to hit submit :(

At the time it was fine. I had an array of 4tb drives that I was backing up with a series of 5gb drives. They were just so unreliable; all but one failed while the array they backed up is still spinning strong.

Bingo. Sorry, had typed a reply about my failure rate and difficulties getting an RMA but forgot to submit.
