uh, yeah you don't, because I don't have $300 of extra money
So. Every dollar counts! Get donating every time you spend money! What is "worth it" is subjective to every person!
and no, it doesn't. I didn't say a damn thing about production. buying stuff that for higher prices than it took to make is normal. it's what companies do to make a profit. what isn't okay is spending extra for something because of a label
The brand and the label is what the company has invested in to make their product desirable. That sir, is normal business as well.
This isn't an attack on you but rather people who use the ol' charity bullstuff, especially on YT on videos where people destroy computers, etc, and for some reason people decide its a bad thing and that the computer should go to a child in Uganda or some random nonsense.
Charity was never going to be an option. There are lots of things that money could have gone to, hundreds of possible destinations for it. But thinking of the most morally perfect situation in hindsight is hypocritical, and as far as I see it totally irrelevant.
Yes, rather than spend our money on nice things, lets only use it in little punches and be miserable. That is basically what you are saying.
If anything, everyone should be spending more money. Because thats what keeps companies going, and keeps jobs out there, and keeps people paid. Otherwise we are all off to the poor house, and something tells me that won't be helpful for charities either.
