                I mean, $100 bucks at Best Buy is like $35 at actual market prices. I'd need at least a $200 gift card.

                        a $100 certificate they could use to purchase a new Bluetooth speaker or couple Keurig coffee makers,” said Pew pollster Dana Felder, who

                        I do not for one minute believe that $100 is buying a couple of Keurig coffee makers, unless those guys are going ridiculously hard on the razor-and-blades model.

                        checks Amazon

                        Yeah. The least-expensive Keurig coffee maker on Amazon is $60:

                        https://www.amazon.com/Keurig-K-Mini-Single-Serve-Coffee/dp/B07GV2S1GS

                        It looks like they go up to $126.

                        Maybe a couple of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers.

                        My ex and I scored 5 at the thrift for $5 each. I'll never understand paying retail, and especially for coffee makers. I did pay "full" price for my Amazon French press. Whatever.

                              That's maybe two 1.5m HDMI cables.

                                  the avg American wouldn't give a fuck, at all. they would shout "gimme that!" not even knowing what they were trading away, thinking it's "just some political bullshit".

                                      They already did, and the gift card has also been spent...

                                        The Americans already did, for the promise of cheap eggs and an ethnostate.

                                          I thought it would've been a Wal-Mart gift card.
