Who owns the media?
What system do we live in?
Regarding the price of graphics cards.
There is no shortage of microchips, brass, etc. at all. Especially since everything now belongs to a few multinationals (mines, media, etc.).
There is no such thing as forgetting countries. It is the multinationals that control the planet.
And the tendency of the countries is to do as in the United States of America: to return everything to the "private" and to leave all the expenses of the "private" to the population, the public.
And of course, to always make more profits, the only goal of the capitalist whom the rich have renamed, they love to hide things, "democracy".
It is not surprising then to see the profits of multinationals reaching record highs year after year. And that will never change because for humans’ money is divine and the rich are Gods.
It was like this millennia ago.
Probably 95-99% of all the money made is in tax havens and will stay there forever. All this to satisfy one of the greatest human mental illnesses: Greed.
The miser can never have enough money. They would have the whole Universe they want others.
And the people revere them because they are their Gods.
The richer we are, the more people love us. The less we are rich the more people **** on us, hate us.
And it is the stingers who have, who control and will control the Earth forever. Well, as long as humans exist. It seems that most humans have no personality, let alone critical thinking. Besides, now to criticize is to be a Terrorist (intellectual), a communist, a fascist, a troll, etc.
All humans are liars on different levels and for different reasons, and the vast majority adore liars and lies.
Public "opinion" has never existed because it is the media, all owned by multinationals, that publish what they want.
The rich are magicians. With $ 1 they make 1 million, 1 billion, etc.
And people find it quite wonderful. No one wonders what happens to selling a product worth $ 1 selling it $ 1000. And if that is good for the population.
Thinking is not part of the vast majority of human brains and besides one wonders why they are so "big". A pinhead would suffice for human "thought".
The rich have no shortage of puppets: politicians, "journalists", etc.
With the latter they publish all their propaganda every second.
For example, to make 5000% profit instead of "only" 1000% they do not hesitate to broadcast: "this is the shortage", "this is the crisis", "these are the scalpers", etc.
And the people, the "journalists" repeat all this like parrots. No one checks and it will never happen since it is the rich who are spreading their lies.
And in order to have investigations, you must have authorizations. Only the rich have the power to give them away.
Everything is good to make a profit knowing that the people will believe all the propaganda disseminated globally and uniformly on Earth. It's like taking big **** and distributing it over a big balloon evenly.
And it works great and more since the invention of computers and the internet.
Just as these technologies have benefited the rich more than ever.
Moreover, the real goal of technologies, paid for by the people, is to make the rich richer, to ensure that they live in absolute comfort, that they have free access (it is the people who always pay ) to ever more efficient health care, better education, etc.
This is why everything is in the "private" because the rich especially do not want the people to have these advantages even if they are the ones who pay for everything.
It is enough only to apply "bread and games" and "divide and conquer" to subject the people to any stupidity.
By making public “schools” into big day care centers, we are certain that the people will continue to act as they do now.
Education, Health, Houses (castles, estates, etc.). Food is for the rich.
The people are happy to watch programs that are always crazier than each other on TV or on their divine smartphone.
Besides, if "TV is the opium of the people", their smartphone is their heroine.
It would be surprising to see the graphics cards down when you see all the profits (which are nothing but theft - selling a product or service more expensive than it is worth; capitalist principle) that multinationals are making now.
The Capitalist loves monopolies
More profits that go directly to tax havens.
Of course, we keep the population alive, we now have all their medical files on "government" (multinational "computers - not those of the rich of course.
