CDs

[solarbird]

CDs are cheaper in Europe, even with the Euro climbing so much lately.

The (new, popular music) CD I just ordered from Denmark is only e13.44. Shipping and handling add another e6.05 to it for a total of e19.49.

Meanwhile, a typical new-release US CD is: $15.99 * 1.086 (local sales tax) = $17.37 * .923e/$ = e16.03.

So if I could find someplace with really cheap shipping, I think I'd come out ahead. Even with a high Euro. A Euro from several months ago would be more like: $17.37 * 1.10 = e19.10, which is almost the same, and assumes that I pick up the CD from the store.

That's kind of fucked up right there.

I don't buy new CD's anymore cause the prices are ridiculous. (Unless I find them under $12). If everyone else refused to pay the high prices, the price would come down.

And oh, I sh*t you not, and I was totally honest in my answers (I thought I was gonna get like an 80 or something, go fig):

I was honest, too, and got the same result. I thought I'd get some Republican points for wanting to wall off the primo piece of property for my own personal compound, and weaseling out of giving the poor girl any money, but I guess not.

It must have been the mountain bikes and trip to Colorado.

it's kinda weird/ironic using Mother Theresa as the 0% Republican benchmark. She had some remarkably reactionary positions.

Consider, e.g., her stance on family planning...
