Oh he paid. And he raised prices. This seems like it was the plan all along. Getting more money for the owner class.
Now if he ever does get a refund an excellent idea for a promotion, and a generally good thing to do, would be to lower prices by a certain amount until the refund runs out. These guys would never do that but still.
They’ll be coming right after those DOGE checks that have apparently been lost in the aether.
Trust me, bro, they’re on the way. Just one more war, bro, trust me.
Just two more weeks bro
