I figured a few honest small businesses would issue refunds. What I did not anticipate was that someone would do it with this much style. God, I fucking love those people.

  "Those people" are supposed to be "Against Humanity", damn it. Why do groups always do the opposite of what they claim to stand for?

    The cards are against humanity. The makers of the cards are not. Kind of like how the makers of Skynet didn't intend to wipe out the global population and inspire 2 good movies and a fuckton of bad ones.

This is just marketing. It doesn't even say if you will get any money back or how much. There is a form asking you how much you overpaid, and stating maybe you will get something back. Surely they could come out and say how much they raised prices due to tariffs and promise a refund with proof of purchase? Maybe they felt that number was too small to make for a good marketing stunt? Mostly this is just an attempt at raising their brand's profile by printing insults (demented, pedophile, etc), and obscenities (fucking, dumbass, etc) directed at Trump (a popular thing to do).

  I disagree.

  You are focused on the wrong wrong here.

    They are wrong in their initial assumption as well. CAH has done several high profile stunts like this that essentially always benefit the past and future consumers of their products. Virtue signals are not bad if they are true.

      One shouldn't forget the phrases on the cards were released under a CC license. People buy the cards because it's convenient, but one could instead print their own. And sell them, but they surely wouldn't get away with using the trademarks, which I'm realizing is actually pretty genius for CAH's public image.

      Sometimes virtue signals are just indications of virtue apparently?

The site seems to be getting crushed. Can someone summarize what it did?
