Well, no. Even though Harris can afford to keep Dominic in mostly new items doesn't mean we aren't concerned with the economy. Especially with the new president's government spending policies having a high chance of killing his job and the housing market putting us in a very hard spot if his job does vanish. We're doing alright at the moment, better than some, but we're also painfully aware that it could all come crashing down at any moment. So yeah, we want to protect the companies and businesses that provide services to people that really need less expensive items for their children as we may need them ourselves.
But I know you guys use second-hand items as well. Sorry-- I'm thinking of the people who refuse to buy used because it's not "good enough" for their kid. And yes, there's always the problem of what happens when you have a recession, and everyone has to start watching a few more pennies than they did before. It's the most idiotic time to be looking at something like this.
