happen to check out Walmart, Target or Costco to suddenly find it 10, 20 or
30% cheaper after you already bought it. You thought you were being careful
and researching (shopping). But, you find out you were screwed or about to be
screwed.

What if everyone increased their prices beyond the 400% mark-up? Well, that's
what happened and you didn't know at all, you're just prey. You're out there
Smart Shopping and thinking you're smart. Well, that "roll" of tape used to be
$2 for twice as much tape, as far as you know. Now, it's $1 per foot. How's
that smart and what Temporary Tape is worth as much as high processing wire,
hardwood, stone, metal sheeting, carpet or food?

I'm just saying you brought up a much more profound State of Affairs than you
realize. Yes, you can call me a nutjob and claim I'm blowing a little nothing
way out of proportion. But, am I? Am I really? No, your grandparents and
parents fell for it just as you have. You claim you're "sane" because no-one's
got it cheaper and you most definitely won't be doing anything about it for
yourself nor anyone else and no-one wants to join me nor any revolution to
free humanity from its bottomless stupidity.

What kind of moron do you have to be to "shop around to find the lowest
total cost" and not look at Walmart, Target, Costco, etc? Today there
are search engines that make it very easy. Twenty five years ago, it
wasn't easy, but now with the internet, it is. You can easily compare
prices and find what you want.

Only if you're a moron. Are you a moron?

Yes, you sure are.

Thanks for missing all the points. Oh well, at least I tried to have an adult
