In Buffalo I watched a politician’s commercial to fight to lower utility bills, which is cool, but his argument was you shouldn’t have to get a 2nd or 3rd job to offend them.
The problem is, it’s not just utility’s… it’s gas, cable, internet, apps, food, rent, car payment, everything is outrageously overpriced. And it keeps going up!
THEY DONT GIVE A F*CK ABOUT US
You wanna know what the kicker is… they don’t gouge as much in Europe. Look at the cost of what they charge Americans and then do a deep dive on what they’ve done in Hungary.
They’re not the only ones doing it. I got YouTube premium when I lived in Japan. My sub didn’t go up at all for years. I was paying 8-9 dollars depending on the strength of the yen. The card went expired and when I tried to resub I think it was 16 bucks. I had my Hungarian friend check and it was 9 USD. And that’s with a 27% VAT.
Idk sounds like your actual issue is that you’re not Hungarian. Or that you don’t understand how lower income means ticket prices have to be lower. Maybe there’s a Disney video you can watch about how smaller numbers are smaller than bigger numbers.
We’re cooked man. If you don’t understand the argument about corpos price gauging, and instead misinterpret it as a cost of living argument… it’s safe to say a lot of other people do too. Which means they’ll comfortably accept the greed. But hey, continue being smarmy if it makes you feel good. Ignorance is bliss. Wish I could experience it like you.
Hold on hold on let me try to understand this. A private business charging a price that you personally don’t like but seems to sustain their business is price gouging? Is Disney a necessary utility or product that you have to buy, like rent or water or electricity? Like you don’t actually have a choice because you can’t just not have Disney? You have to buy it? If you don’t go to a Disney park or stream a Disney movie, your kids will die?
I don’t wish I could live in your mind. It must be really challenging to navigate this world as a stupid person. I don’t envy ya!
