The only saving grace is how good our second hand market is. We Americans are quite spoiled by it. Tho I expect the price increase to follow there too.

Not only will there by dramatic inflation, but capitalism will use every manufactured to crisis price gouge the fuck out of everyone, for everyone.

Been a very noticeable trend since COVID. Oh the supply, oh the inflation, oh the tariffs …

The situation here is that the government is imposing a tax and that it’s getting passed on to consumers. I’m not sure why you’re complaining about “capitalism”. If Acer were part of the government, they’d be charging more too.

It’s similar to how “Covid caused us to raise prices!” Sure, initially it would have, but then they saw that watermark and kept bumping it higher, all the while blaming supply chains.
Fast forward to now: Covid is “over,” yet somehow all my groceries still cost much more.
