Also....Subways kinda suck now. What's up with that? When I ever-so-rarely go into a Subway, I can't hardly find one that will make a decent meatball sub. Used to be that I could walk into any of them and their subs ranged from good to at-least-pretty-decent. And being more affordable then, I went more.

Now, with the higher prices and crappier quality, I'm much happier finding an alternative.

The TV in my living room:

Crazy how much cheaper TVs have gotten over the years.

I was behind the times when it came to upgrading to a flat, widescreen HD tv. I think I bought my first one in 2007. It was about 32" (maybe? not big), only 1080i, which was about the best you could have then, and significantly more expensive than this one here in your picture.

You can get so much more TV now for such a cheaper price.

It'll probably all be over when Samsung wakes up and decides to screw the working class and jack their prices up.

Honestly smart TV makers are probably feeling the pinch of high DRAM and NAND pricing right now.

You can point out that Samsung produces both, but they can make a hell of a lot more profit selling externally than shipping their supply inside their own TVs right now.

Scaler ICs have become super long lead and hela-expensive. High demand and supply has yet to catch up, going on a couple years now.

The TVs at Costco look amazing to me. My 65” is probably ten years old. Maybe more.
