“I’ve been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit,” one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. “It was about $280 when I looked,” said u/RaidriarT, “Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?”

        No. The housing crash really started to go off when regular people could not pay their bills. These arent regular folks here. These are mega corporations.

          that’s how a bubble works. they are mega corporations that represent like 90% of the economy. their companies go under, the people working for them are jobless all at once.
