This isnt a very viable solution though for many people because of the US falling back into a recession.
First of all, the US is not in a recession, nor is it going into recession (see: rising gdp, falling unemployment rate, and other factors).
Not many people have more than 1 PC at their disposal for stuff like this.
That's because not many people require more than 1 PC at a time.
Recession means people lose money and income. People lose money and income then people cant afford to buy PCs.
Secondly, you don't magically lose money and income once a recession comes around the block.
I'll admit, I'm not exactly good at economics, but after looking up the definition of recession on Wikipedia I don't see how it's not related to people being unable to afford more things. Would you be so kind and explain? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, just got legitimately curious.
Since you you're not good at economics, let's imagine a couple of scenarios, where we exemplify a recession (again, US is not in one):
You're out shopping for groceries and you're deciding between an expensive, well-known brand product vs. a cheaper, generically-branded product.
What most people would probably think: "I don't think we can afford this more expensive product right now; let's go with the cheaper product."
What most people would probably not think: "Oh man, we're in a recession. Gotta stop buying food altogether."
You're browsing a store for computers, which you will need to use for work/school/life.
What most people would probably think: "Well, these features/specs seem great, but I don't need all of this right now. I'll just stick with only the features/specs I need, which will be cheaper."
What most people would probably not think: "Oh man, we're in a recession. It would be better to just quit my job/drop out of school/live without a computer."
