I hate to disagree with a highly knowledgeable and basically sound comment.
To perhaps add some context: I pay for my own health insurance under ACA/Obamacare, and the most expensive one is also the minimum one where I can keep my doctor. It’s around 1200 USD a month counting dental.
I’m not rich off stock options or anything, I fucking notice it missing every month, but in a world where healthcare/internet/phone/etc. is more than the rent I split with one other guy 10 years ago?
It’s not 200-500 USD every few years for the big SSD from Apple that’s breaking my back.
I can get the best personal computer ever for less than my healthcare and phone bill? It’ll still be pretty great 3-5 years from now?
This is one of the few places where I don’t feel economically over a barrel.
- beanjuice 4y agoI think you forgot to add your original point, there is an EU import fee for Apple to sell products in Europe, compared to the US, which is why tech is generally more expensive in the EU compared to the US.
