Eh Newegg always gets me my crap the next day even on standard shipping. If I go to an out of state place, I pretty much pay the same to get it next day anyway.

We keep getting more political threads in OT. Folks are too scared to venture into P&N cuz of all the rhetoric and flaming.
BUT THATS WHY WE HAVE P&N! To keep that shit out of OT.

This is how I know you are really young or really clueless.

The produce is not affordable and the costs are not lowered. Things like that cost more now than they ever have in the past.

There is no solid evidence illegals actually keep prices down.
All they do is allow the top 1% to increase their margin over the bottom 99. Which is fucking hilarious cuz you illegal lovers whine about that every damn day.

Your insult is ironic.

Americans spend less of their income on food than any other nation on earth, IIRC.

When you say there is no solid evidence, you mean that you have none - for that, for the world being round, and other things.

Point me to the research you have done denying the illegal immigrants lower food costs.

It is amazing that liberals will defend the quazi-slave labor that Big Business uses, just to make a case for illegals.

Sometimes they don't know what side of the issue they should be on!

Yeah, they should have it actually remove OT posting privileges if you post too much at P&N. In general, I think could remove the news part from P&N and let it be in OT. Some people do want to talk about non political news without it turning into a flaming fuster cluck.

Are you even aware of what a massive logical fallacy you just posted?

You are in no position to discuss a 'logical fallacy'. It's like Sarah Palin discussing, well, anything.

There is no logical fallacy. You are saying 'there is no evidence'. I'm claiming you are simply ignorant of the evidence, and asked what research you have done. You're evading.

Meh, I'll still buy from AMZ 80% of my stuff. Why spend MY gas when UPS can deliver it to my door?

Really!
What kind of whiny assed Girly-Boy is gonna stop buying from Amazon just because they start collecting Sales Tax?

I pay 6% Sales Tax here, but that is small potatoes when you consider the fact that I typically save 20-50% from Amazon, not including Gas to & from the B&M stores (In which I would most assuredly pay Sales Tax), can know for sure they have the item in stock, and have it delivered to my front door!
 
The article said they are thinking of opening two centers here in Cali which is good now since they haven't built anything here to avoid the tax thing so we'll get stuff quicker.

Good - then pay the use tax you owe on your income taxes, insteal of lying.

All taxes are theft. Lying about them on your tax return is the morally correct thing to do.

It's like a prostitute lying to her pimp about how much money she's made, so he won't take all of it.

It will be interesting how that attitude is displayed on April 15th! 😎
 
Meh, I'll just use the company card. Still worth it versus going to the store (with the exception of Costco!).

How many butt plugs, cock rings and male blow-up dolls did you buy? :colbert:

0, but I did notice many of those items are also eligible for prime shipping. While browsing AMZ, I also discovered that the fleshlight was old news.
 
Just bought a new Samsung series 9 ultrabook off amazon and was pleasantly surprised I didnt have to pay any sales tax on it.
