Printer Ink, Blood and other economies...
Life is becoming expensive .. this has been the perpetual grouse of all between the ages of 25 and 95 (on either side of that spectrum, presumably people arent really capable of cynical thought - hence excluded). Just how expensive, Gizmodo enlightens us... According to them, HP's printer ink cartridges are topping the charts. Now what makes OEM printer ink such an expensive commodity? I wopuld argue that it isnt that ink is expensive, the other more important stuff is cheap! Blood... cheaper than ink... Booze - cheaper than ink (Yeah!!) - wierd drinks aka Red Bull.. even cheaper!!.
And mixed .. the average price drops even further .... Vodka + Red Bull... Penicilline +Human Blood .... Vodka + Human Blood.....Vodka+Redbull+Human Blood+Bottled water (usually in that order on Saturday nights). This all smacks of a conspiracy to malign all ink manufacturers .. imagine .. Booze is cheaper than ink!!! Or perhaps.. HP et al are responsible for cheap Vodka.. just to inspire (or intoxicate) crappy writers to print more .. crap.
