The Peak of Absurdity: Pokémon Cards and the End of Sanity
Right, lets talk about this. Apparently, someone in Texas just traded a card – yes, a glorified piece of cardboard with a drawing on it – for over thirty thousand dollars. A Gengar card. A Gengar! As if the world needs another reason to feel profoundly disillusioned. We’re battling inflation, climate change, and political chaos, yet were celebrating someone getting rich off…a cartoon ghost?
Seriously? Thirty-four thousand dollars?! I could buy a small house with that money! Or, you know, invest it in something actually useful like renewable energy or feeding hungry people. But no, let’s shower praise on the individual who apparently hoarded this precious piece of paper and then decided to cash it in at GameStop. Because that’s rational behavior. Thats a responsible use of resources.
This isn’t just about Pokémon cards; its a symptom. A blatant indicator of how utterly detached from reality so much of our society has become. We obsess over fleeting trends, speculative assets, and manufactured scarcity, while ignoring the genuine crises swirling around us.
It’s frankly embarrassing. Congratulations to the card owner, I guess? Now go buy yourself some perspective and maybe donate a small portion of that windfall to a worthy cause. Because right now, this whole situation just feels… deeply unsettling.
