I consider my "price gouging" to be an art installation / performance art and social commentary:

I actually wanted to price it at a "million dollars" but the system would not let me, so I reduced my desired price by a cent.

For may years now, I have wanted to open a "Million Dollar" store at some point. A store where every item is priced at a million dollars. From a pack of chewing gum, to a pair of socks and anything else in the store. All one price, all a million dollars.

Around the time I put that book up for sale, I decided to try building a version of the store online. I was foiled at the time by the price limit code of the site...

I hear you and do not doubt that happens and sucks when it does happen...

On the other hand, I think that may be a problem I would not mind having with at least one of my projects...

Let's try:

We shall see....

Would you like to play a game?

I am not one to talk but...

I consider the work people do on other projects that I make use of as "help"... When I look at it that way, lots of people help and hte amount of help is huge...

Who makes what?

I posted a suggestion for solving this problem here:

Your thoughts?

Or... more people could start taking my advice as offered here:

And as I tried for unsuccessfully here:

https://www.indiegogo.com/proj...

(I really need to run some more experiments along these lines...)

I think I just had an idea to promote this...

Check this newly created Facebook group to see the idea begin and grow...

Ah, someone who thinks along the lines I do. The one I get here in the islands on US AM radio speaks of 1 in every X fatal accidents involves a pedestrian. (I think X=4)

So I say, right, so when a pedestrian jumps in front of a car causing teh driver to swerve and plunge into a deep roadside canal and die, are they counting that as a fatal accident involving a pedestrian? What about one where two cars collide head on and a pedestrian is "involved" as the only witness?

Wait, how can it be a problem to link to content *behind* a paywall. Either the person clicking the link will not be able to get to the link as the content is behind a paywall and they haven't paid, or, they have paid, have rights to the content, and can get to it by following the link. Is there some other possibility?

That is one way to reduce health care costs I guess.

In the Bahamas our own government chose to name something the "National Insurance Scheme" so there you go.

"Every time you make a system too efficient, you reduce the number of workers but with economies it's important to have as many people working as possible."

But I have the perfect solution for that little problem and have been quietly promoting it in my country for years now:

The Department Of Beach Surveys.

The government hires people and sends them to the beach every day. They get a clipboard and a short form to fill out daily.

Date:
Location:
Survey Taker:

Did you see any sea life today? Y/N
Did you see any birds today? Y/N
Did you see any land animals on the beach today? Y/N
Was it Windy / Calm?
Was it Sunny / Rainy?
Did you encounter any tourists on the beach today? Y/N
      If Yes, did they seem to be having a good time? Y/N
Did you have an enjoyable day at the beach today? Y/N
Optionally note below anything of interest you might want to.

Perhaps if your country does not have enough beaches, you could send those workers to our country to do the surveys here.

all the best,
