I currently have an iPhone 5 personal phone, an iPhone 4S work phone, and a Nokia flip phone work phone. I have some extra scratch and my Nokia workphone is so old and beat up I'm considering buying a new phone from AT&Ts selection of prepaid smart phones, but I'm having second thoughts. Even in today's world, as a member of the app generations elite, is three smart phones crossing the line? At what point do I go from being a counterculture trendsetter to a corporate lackey and slave to consumer society?

In short, how many smartphones can one own before its necessary to admit you've sacrificed all you Marxist values, that you're no longer a revolutionary, that you've sold out?

it is a very old retail gambit where you heavily promote an item that is priced to sell at a loss in order to lure people into your store. once there, people also tend to buy other, more profitable things that more than make up for the loss leader

(this may sound like a crazy huckster trick but it is an essential element of modern retail strategery. big retailers all have computer models that monitor supply chains and consumer buying patterns to predict theoretically-optimal pricing strategies &c)

like walmart still sells a toaster for five bucks sometimes, and it's not a bad toaster, there's no way it costs them under five bucks to manufacture. but walmart's sentient quantum-computed AI slave-god knows that enough people will also buy a bag of wonderbread and two jars of jam to make up for the loss and then some

of course the point of having a computer do it is that most of those associations aren't something any human could reasonably predict, like five-dollar toasters sell more tires under a full moon in june and december or something

it's all fucking voodoo and they have no idea what they're actually doing, just trusting the models. the big secret of management is that most huge corporations are run entirely by algorithm now
