Amazon lifts prices

I was a big A shopper.  I somehow got Prime for free, due to a great hack by somebody.  :)  I made good use of it and more than paid for it in purchases.  If the Bank of Canada wants to determine price inflation for interest rates, just look at this place.

They are starting to zoom over Walmart, and Costco was always lower, but they never had anything.  Amazon is now more like Canadian Tire prices, not on sale.  I guess I'm back to my impulse buying Walmart trips.  No more Amie impulse buying.  :(

I have speculated that having beaten all their original good people to dust, they now have to pay double to anyone with a double digit IQ.  I doubt they will come.  I found that with my old company, that if you have an attached factory facility, soon you are treating everyone like a whip-the-slaves factory.  We must now write off Amazon as a great experiment, and I wish them luck in food delivery.  :)

Addition - We all wondered how they could beat Walmart prices with delivery.  They were paying me with their stock winnings.  As well, they were cannibalizing their people, eating them.  Many great companies have done so, like Intel and the famous microserfs.  Apple is doing it now.  Invest in these companies!  :)

Add2:  Now with dash buttons, they can put up the prices invisibly.  :)

add3:  Not to be a hypocrite, I just bought a roomba 880 from them, $30 more than the competition for convenience, but it shows their prices are up.

Texas clears everybody of causing earthquakes - as long as they don't do it again

Reference

That's it, somehow I was hoping that someone in Texas would come clean on how they made earthquakes turn on and off.  They took these wells that were re-injecting deep brine for years, added something to the mix, and turned on earthquakes.  They have now promised not to do it again, and we'll never know.

You and I know what it is, and we don't have to go into it.  Suffice to say that Oklahoma is doomed to race into that big brick wall of death.  We will all watch on the sidelines.

ps.  Researchers weren't stupid and refused to be cross-examined by lawyers who understood things so much they trashed any studies.  

Harperman

I just love this song.  I tend to think that the government should get out of hiring scientists as civil servants, then that guy wouldn't be suspended.  :)  He wouldn't exist.  I just think gov't science has become too commie.  More money to independent groups that have some incentive to be good.

Watchdogs to lap dogs  -- This is especially true for nuke regulators.

Dirty tricks -- That was in our riding, where the con campaign manager ran down old people and closed the poll with violence, that would gone Liberal.  Got off in court by using the stupidity defence, which Harper is now using

Control freak -- He controls everything, and only the courts would believe that he wasn't on top of the Duffy thing.  Who hands out $90K like candy?

ps.  Now that this guy has time he should pen a song for all the leaders.  He should have the kid's choir sing "Justin's a kid like us".  and everybody in false beards and wearing googly eyes for "Mad, Mad Mulcair"  with lines like "Who cares about a deficit, gives that Harper a hissy fit!"
