SirKibbles posted:No that was when they found out that a lot of the debates happened the same day or near football games. To be fair that does favor Hillary but that's not because of some conspiracy she's the front runner. It does however show that Debbie still sucks at her job and apparently no one outside of Obama (publicly at least) wants to tell her to get it together. It doesn't show that she sucks at her job in the least. As if the glories of 9 PM on a Wednesday would mean better viewership.

I'm talking about buying $375 on average laptops from places like Walmart and best buy, which is the sort of computer the average American owns. No joke, $375 was the average price paid for a computer in 2014 and something like 80% of computers sold were laptops. Yea nerds will Whine it can't play some latest game but it works great for normal people

Bad Caller posted:$375 dollars you realize is more than a week's work on minimum wage currently Yet 80% of Americans own one or more computers. Seems like people are capable of saving up for things. You know that's in nominal dollar terms about where the cheapest color sets or the watchable mono sets were 40 years ago, but in real terms that 1975 price is $1700 modern dollars. Computers are cheap as hell, and they keep getting cheaper every year. Many poor families can even participate in programs that subsidize a computer and Internet access if their kid qualifies for reduced or free school lunch these days
