Buying at shows vs. the internet

We had rotary phones well into my adulthood, because the phone company was entitled to charge something like an extra 25% on their base rate to support touch-tone service. It cost the phone company less money for people to use tone dialing (it didn't tie up their switching equipment as long), but because the law said they could charge more for it, they did. We figured we could wait a little longer for the phone to finish dialing. (We even had push-button phones that sent pulse-dialing signals.)

When corporate greed and legal inertia work together, there's nothing they can't accomplish. Or fail to accomplish.

Its always about the dollar bill, so called pot clubs are opening up everywhere
especially here in Vegas and its the taxes that are driving it.

 

I live in the N.E. and have several shows each month around me, plus several bigger shows that are not as frequent, so I don't buy over the internets.

 

LOL, don't tell the authorities but there's large flea markets and swap meets where many things are being sold and no taxes are being collected.
