That Scrooge comic book series is pretty great actually. I have those stashed somewhere as well. Loved those as a kid.
As for FantasticToma, Germany is pretty down bad right now so I can see why he is triggered by $3000 GPUs. The cost of energy is very high, mainly because their attempt at wind and solar energy failed. They can't really compete with China or the United States anymore because production is too expensive.
Because of their political decisions there is also no easy way back to prosperity and they're falling further and further behind. The Germans were actually quite pissed when the Ukrainians came over with their expensive sports cars and SUVs when Russia invaded.
As for $3000 GPUs, they are a waste of money but they do keep their value. So if you buy a $3000 GPU and sell it when the next generation releases, you'll easily get 75% - 80% or more of the value back. So in that sense $3000 GPUs are really just $1000 GPUs.
