Though, that was also said about digital games instead of physical ones, that the savings get passed onto the consumer. Not a 1:1 but that one is going swimmingly right now 😅

My dude, if you can’t assemble the shelf just go pay more for one that is built. No one needs to run around computing their implicit value for such a simple task.
You’re missing the entire concept of what shadow work is. And why it’s being pushed further and further.
I use ikea myself. I DIY’d my solar system. I’ve no problem performing the labor. That’s not the point here.
You’re missing the entire concept of IKEA’s business model.
Same with Aldi. And you better bring your quarter and own bags.
