So theoretically, every pre-order that occurred prior to the change in refund policy, could go through each buyer’s respective Attorneys General for their state, to force Purism to issue a refund on their unshipped Librem 5.
I ordered my L5 two years ago, which was before the change in refund policy. But I am still going to wait and see what happens for now.
At the rate that the American government is giving away free money to everyone these days, $600 (after inflation does its job), might only buy you a tank of gasoline by the time I get my phone. By then, Purism will have to quadruple or 10x the price of an L5 to new buyers to make any profit. Inflation alone could put purism out of business if Purism has to ship all of their backlog after paying future prices for the components, years from now, to ship all back-orders. Purism should start stockpiling everything they need to ship all pre-orders now, even if only to hedge against a 4x or 10x price increase.
