Well - with Polaroid a purchase of a camera usually results in the purchase of replacement film that keep a stream of revenue coming back. So their bet was that most customers would use the camera and be loyal to the brand for years to come.

Regardless of the current political landscape, a majority of Americans do support gay marriage and also abortion rights. The far right politicians have made those platforms their main talking points to ensure the far right segment of society show up at the polls.

I recently had to deal with identity theft. I created an account on all 3 credit agencies so that I could freeze everything. Experien tried to upsell me on services on a weekly basis.

Sorry - maybe that was true 20 years ago when internet connectivity was a novelty (and an extra dongle) for consoles and network protocol for PCs was riddled with issues.
I haven't had a PC issue in a long time. Diablo 4 was crashing but a couple additional case fans solved that issue. I also only spend about $500 every 4-5 years upgrading my current PC. That's seems to be in line with the next generation consoles.
Consoles are easier in that it is simply plug in play but my preference is PC for everything except social gaming with friends or family on the couch next to me.

I drive through Florida at least once a year. It is a shithole until you are about 10 miles from the coast. Beaches and Disney are the only two reasons to go and both are being threatened these days.
