Before you mock it. This is not for YOU. Just like the monitor stand. It is way more about the form than the function. You go into a big time executive/creative head/hedge funder's office and it is baller, except for that ugly ass plasticy monitor stand on their desk (Dell Circa 2002). For a $1000 that eyesore turns into a piece of art, considering they likely have art pieces on the walls worth $50-100k it is a no brainer. Same thing for the wheels. I would say I would never buy one but if $1000 wheels were the equivalent of a latte to me... sure wtf not? People whined at Apple for not making a "pro" product for awhile, then they made one that was too "pro" apparently. By pro, I mean gets PAID not gets by. Now they will whine about definitions of pro. Apple has a pretty good idea of what "rich suckers" will buy.
- hindsightbias 6y ago10 years ago, who would have thought a $1000 phone would be ubiquitous? Such luxury, in our pockets.
- oliwarner 6y agoWhy shouldn't we mock that too? Why is there suddenly a limit on the number of fingers we're allowed to point at disgusting levels of excess? I'm not communist, I'm happy for people being fairly remunerated, but a world where $1k wheels make sense is a world that is dangerously close to not making any sense at all.
