I understand that it would circumvent their price discrimination strategy but that doesn't mean they can put whatever they want in there. I don't begrudge them extracting as much value out of the market as they can but I just don't understa

So? You picked out one thing that everyone has had their entire life to think about and conflated it with things that have happened since Friday. (That I can get a downvote for pointing that out shows how irrational people are on this issue

I hate the phrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people" because it prevents reasonable discussion but it does get closer to the root of the problem and the solution. The problem is how we treat mental illness. It's so stigmatized tha

You are reading way too much into a single word and it's a shame that another nit-picking contrarian viewpoint like this gets voted to the top on HN. I've heard Brits claim that they keep the royal family around for the amusement of America
