    I wonder what GameStop’s CEO will think when he’s going to have to pay all those high import tariffs on Nintendo, Sony and other products…

        And if people really are as concerned with the economy as they claimed to be, what’s going to happen when prices go even higher?

          “The economy” for most people is “I have BAD vibes right now!” rather than any actual consideration of economics, national or household.

          t. someone ACTUALLY in the bottom 15% of American workers.

            However, the economy being good is not often actually good for the customer. It’s just a slowing down of things getting worse.

                At least there’s time in-between for things to change.

                  I never said anything about waiting for change to fall into our laps, which seems like what you’re implying. I just said that having time is better than “making the water boil faster.”

                  The story about frogs staying in a warming pot is not true. It is however exactly how humans react, as they can convince themselves of all sorts of things to avoid change.

      GameStop is a meme company at this point, not an actual company than needs to worry about running a business.

      I don’t think he’ll care. GameStop has become a pawn shop for children these days, that’s where they make their money.

      I was kind of wondering the same. They don’t seem to understand their customer base or the group that saved their butts at all.

    I guess I can stop supporting them altogether. It’s been a novelty for quite awhile now anyways.

    This is gonna be like that one mission in cruelty squad isn’t it? Where you kill the guy who was gonna introduce regulation to the stock market and all the stock prices immediately start spiking until the news wears off?
