And it only seems that way because the first few fib numbers are essentially just counting up
Do the 12th fib number and see for yourself.
*completely mystified*

Is he even in the libertarian party?
I thought he had his own joke one
He was a Republican at one point
He got enough support to be in the Vermont primary one year I think
That had to be a joke
He was running as Republican in 2008, Democrat in 2012, Democrat and then Libertarian in 2016, and now starting as a libertarian in 2020
He’s a parody of the worst excess of both parties
“I’m a friendly fascist” and other such lines
Brushing your teeth is to be made mandatory, enforced by a gang of tooth fairies
Every man, woman, and child gets a free pony
I honestly don't know if he's just being a parody candidate or not
He's listed as a "performance artist"
@C1PHER also I wouldn’t expert a European tranny to know about a niche American political figure
I remember when this guy was all I knew about politics
Catlin seems fairly informed about American politics, but I don't think they consider the Libertarian party to be a legitimate party and are just saying that a picture like that doesn't help the LP image
"but at least everyone still has their clothes on"
Clothes are a tool of the patriarchy
Electronics have become remarkably cheap over time, particularly for what you're getting out of it. Sure there are still definite markups in some portions of the industry, or for certain brands but it's been pretty feasible to get whatever you need at (relatively) low cost
@Big T why are u big t now
Should be Big Brain!
Per gigabyte, per pixel etc etc. Not what I'm talking about though
Have the midrange cell phones gone down in price? The top of the line phones? Top of the line laptops? Have the mid range monitors gone down in price?
I understand a 2019 honda is going to be a thousand times more luxurious than a 1940 Bentley and a thousand times more fuel efficient but the prices haven't fluctuated to far between a mid range sedan in 1950 vs a midrange sedan today as far as my knowledge goes
Also a thousand times safer and more reliable
Low, mid, and high range products such as cell-phones have stayed relatively consistent in price. The difference is the shift of product as new devices push down previous iterations.
The only one I might argue that has changed is the high-end largely being pushed up in price inch by inch.
No way in hell am I going to spend $1000+ for a smartphone.
Apple shit is generally inflated by muh brand, though better hardware also plays a factor. It's worth remembering as well that a 500 dollar phone now is "cheaper" than a 500 dollar phone 10 years ago. Further, it depends on the range of time used. The jump to 1k for some models is relatively recent, and comes after decades of price drops. The last time a flagship was 1k was what, the 90s? Which, as I said prior, still makes it "cheaper" in terms of actual valuation, if not in terms of # of USD
Apple is most certainly brand jerked.
Just as Samsung is.
The end result may not be the customer paying less, but having far more effective products for the amount you do pay
