When it comes to mass-market paperbacks, the current $8-10 for a wimpy little 500 page fiction book is at least $3-4 too expensive for something I'll get maybe a few hours of enjoyment out of.
And given recent books, I'll only get that enjoyment maybe 3/4 of once.
No, my uncle doesn't believe that anyone who isn't a "professional" is capable of doing anything. If you're not paying big bucks, it's being done wrong.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I don't even go to their house anymore to avoid any problems with him. That's just one of his many problems.
My aunt constantly relays, via my grandmother, all my aunt's problems and how expensive they are to fix. I keep a rough running tally of things I could have fixed for her for the price of gas at most (She's 13 miles from me, I drive a Jeep, so that's maybe $5.) and, well... it's way more than a few $5 "Hey come over"s
Yes, I've mentioned him before, but my uncle will trust any jackoff (Wait, I'm in Pittsburgh now, "jagoff") with a sign on his truck even if he were the biggest idiot who burns half his house down in the process of setting his VCR clock. When it comes to me fixing, say, a loose power socket that just needed the screw in back tightened down, he'd rather have it hanging loose until he can afford to hire someone to do it.

Yes, how dare these people who are not me have differing views than my own. Let us outlaw these differing opinions, friend!
Unless you feel differently, then you are my enemy.

This is 100% truth.
Did you read that Twilight thread in GBS?

AnotherUsername, please read this reply above me.
So I take it you don't like being able to afford things? Because business don't pay taxes - consumers do.
Nope, you're not the only one getting screwed at the county level too.
Even easier - I just have nothing to do with him anymore.

Nope, she always paid into Social Security.
I cheated a bit there. She gets about $32k/yr from her retirement.
I'm a bad boy.
My grandmother was a government employee her entire life. Worked until she was 58 and health issues made her retire.
She gets $76 a month from Social Security.
I can't see her being much worse off with privatized SS.
So obsolete that people went on a buying frenzy when they announced they were stopping production, because there was such a demand for them...
Ah yes, a governor who did a lot for her state versus... a habitually non-present senator whose only prior experience was as a community adviser.
Hm yes, unqualified running mates.
So you want all earphones to cost ~$30+? Even those shitty little Koss brand ones at WalMart in blister packs for $3?
I agree, the US needs more rape output.
