I'll never forget one time on reddit I saw someone exclaim "$100 for a coffee table???" a) as if "coffee table" is a commodity with a value set by the market and b) as if that isn't like the most rock bottom price for any table for sale anywhere

#look I don't buy anything ever like I'm not a big spender and I don't really have disposable income on any kind of scale #but the way people talk about prices of non-essential stuff scares me like you know people should be getting paid for making that right....#ok I looked and walmart does have much cheaper coffee tables but like ??? should our goal be to own the cheapest possible coffee table #when you don't even need a coffee table #and everywhere else except a few of the most basic ikea ones they're starting around $100
