    Also entering into Schengen travel zone, Middle East and other places.
    There are a few places I have found exception some places don't give you access to your checked bags you have to point them out and they move them from international to domestic or in one place they move it to another cart and then I had to wait in baggage pickup to get my stuff; that one did make me upset.

    You probably will not, unless it leads to increased taxes it is not something of wide interest for that lobbying group.

    Go do a little research almost everything you wrote is totally wrong.

    the only thing with a tradition is people repeating these falsehoods.

  17. Re:zzzz on DoJ Investigates eBook Price Fixing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The market for ebooks has people who have disposable income, they purchased a machine to read books from, and are known to purchase the higher costing ebook version. Why should they not increase the amount of money they make when the market will allow it?

  18. Re:I always wondered... on DoJ Investigates eBook Price Fixing · · Score: 1

    Because the people who own ereaders have more disposible money and are willing to pay more to have it on the ereader.
    That is all good and the correct thing to do.
    Where they would be in trouble is if the various publishers started talking together and decided on prices in collaboration. Since Amazon is now acting as a publisher they could be in trouble if they were in those talks or used thier market strength to directly dictate costs for other resellers.

    Here they have a story about a cannon ball destroing a car, or just damaging it, and knocking a hole in the house and they think that people want to see 2 pictures of the police telling the reports that a cannon ball knocked a hole in the house.
    Who really cares about the police show us more pictures of the hole and the vehicle.

    The only students that are racking up loans that would take them into their 40s are those who are looking for jobs that would place them in the 1%.
    The average school loan dept of a person who had graduated in under $25,000 so less than the average cost of a car. How many people take 25+ years to pay off a car?
    To get that high of a loan would require that they are training for something like medical, banking or high finance all those common 1% jobs.

    It also ignores all the weird legal and court based rulings that have to be followed.
    For instance in Texas they are in a new redistricting and had the courts disallow the recent attempt not because they cut out minorities, they increased the number of district with a majority of minorities but because they did not account for the historic voting rate of people in those new districts.
    Try configuring all the laws like that into some software that any person can use.
