>Still, someone has to pay the cost of shipping. Yeah, and this article managed to get an unexpected rise out of me, touching on my experience in municipal finance, leading me to want to yell: "Right and somebody has to pay the cost of maintaining the infrastructures like ports and airports and roads and I don't see anybody lining up to fork over the cash out of effing altruism these days." Like, I get it, we all want free stuff, but dwindling tax bases and constant bitching about taxes just avoids dealing with the more practical angles of societal function(s).
