Like also Apple do?
It is.
Anyone with the disposable income and stupidity enough to spend on this kind of ostentations garbo is sorta asking for it, yanno? Because it takes guile to climb your way up the capitalist hell-pyramid, so you just know whoever is buying zipties for 600 dollars isn't just an exploitative bougie -- They're a stupid-ass expoitative bougie that inherited their wealth and very likely never had to even work in their lives.
100% agree
If you rip off anyone, literally anyone, you're creating an excuse for exploitation.
I don't think that anyone will buy this for this prices, it is rather about paying back the potential customers of these products with the same currency, obviously a group that belongs to the exploiting class. No working class person is harmed in this operation
Trytytka for 600 bucks.
In Poland one cost like 0,04 PLN (that's around 0,008 USD), and they are usually sold in packs of at least 50 because no one would bother with less.
Waiting for the new iPhone
Yes as long as you use the process for good
No, because rich people shit creates a disproportionate amount of waste and has a disproportionately high environmental impact. If it was just about wasting money, I wouldn't give a shit. But it's not.
I don't think that selling cable ties can have a big impact on the environment. It is enough to sell 1-2 packages for this price, to have enough to be able to retire to a contemplative life, far from the consumerist and polluting world.
I guarantee you that the packaging is ultra ornate and excessive. Think apple or nest thermostat level packaging on steroids (if you've never seen a nest thermostat, look up an unboxing for it. The packaging is ridiculous, especially for a fucking thermostat. Most of these status symbol stuff is like that.)
Also, shipping and logistics. That burns a ton of fossil fuels even for a small item, and usually these things are riding fast """fashion""" trends, so the assholes that buy them opt for the fastest shipping possible.
But, on the one hand, cable ties are almost always nationally produced and do not have the need to be exported via ships and, on the other hand, selling ~100 cable ties does not have any more impact than the quantity sold normally used by installers and technicians, who are millions. It is a mass product, which does not require special imported ingredients to produce this simple polymer (nylon, which has existed since 1930) used for these gadgets. Any source of carbon can be used as a base, that is, even plant remains from agriculture to synthesize it.
Absolutely.
