    The median daily income in the USA is 70$ https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-median-income

    According to T Mobile the average phone bill per month in the USA is 156$.

    On newegg you can buy 8TV ram for $15.76 https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=RAM+8gb&Submit=ENE&pageTitle=RAM+8gb&Order=1

    So yes, he’s fucking right. Most people in the USA can afford 8GB RAM and if they cannot, they should consider looking into their expenditures.

    I’m speaking American since you’re quoting Fox News… Because it seems you’re so self aware you forgot other countries exist. But that’s just you’re average Lemmy user “I’m more woke than you” kind of bullshit.

    Fucking hell you people are so tiring. Nobody supports anything going against its own world view. You make me cringe so fucking much.

      I’m quoting Fox because the other mentioned US. Blame them for US centrism, but then please update your incomes and costs to somewhere like Somalia, or even Greece. But that would be too woke or something?

      Even if most people can, that doesn’t mean that if you can’t is because of bad decisions. That means being homeless is because of bad decisions. That means that those already on debt for medical issues made a bad decision.

      For a lot of people spending those 16 dollars on RAM is the bad decision.

      BTW, median income is absurd. You can have income and still spend on living expenses more than you earn. Now please tell me people needs to move to rural Ohio to maw grass to buy 8 gigs of RAM.

      Edit: somehow I’ve struck a nerve with people from programing.dev who created the account on the same day, never commented anything and saw my comment within a few minutes of one another. I think I’ve struck a nerve :)

          You only prove the price of RAM on the US, while complaining about US centrism.

          I’m not trying to convince you, or disprove you. I’m just letting you show the absurdity of what you say, so that nobody is fooled by you. In that sense, this last message is enough to close this. Thanks.

            I don’t want to quote myself. Now piss off with your non argument and your dumb ideas. There’s no need to discuss this further. You’re only alienating people instead of fucking let it go and recognizing you had no idea what you were talking about. That would make people respect you and your ideas more.

            You’re now blocked. Feel free to argue against the wind if you so wishes.

              Oh no! Blocked! What a brave resort, only the smartest would think of that!

              If you fell antagonized by somebody not buying your shit, that’s your problem. But I guess you’re solution is to make a bubble to never have you “factually prove” anything.
