It's crazy how consumers just keep eating the higher prices too, instead of rebelling by cutting their spending. I've been wondering if people are just charging everything and we're going to hit a major recession when everyone runs out of credit. I sure hope not! I've already gone through too many "once in a lifetime" economic events.

I can't believe this sort of thing is even a story. Guess most folks can't run a privateer.

In any case, I'm still looting and pillaging because damned if I trust my movies and books to an outfit that can take them away from me on a whim. I've got data from '98 or so, all backed to Google Drive and locally. No matter what, I can still have my media.

Absolutely. It all disappears in the general mass of their credit card payments. It becomes disconnected from individual cost.
