Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy

The idea, that keeping a device for more than two years is “short term” thinking that could doom the economy, is a pretty damning indictment on the state of your economy.
More to the point that news item came from CNBC, itself a company that is 100% advertiser-supported.
Of course they’re going to claim that people not buying is the doom of the economy.
Their whole existence is tied to hyperconsumption, which, is becoming evident to even the marginally aware of being no longer viable in the long run.
Say after me: “Too bad, so sad…”
NBC is owned by Comcast, who also owns Xfinity and invests in T-Mobile. At some point there is going to be just 3 companies running everything and the courts they own will say they aren’t monopolies
Why was my first thought who broke Africa, then realized Asia was disconnected as well
