You do realize that Appalachia gets a ton of Federal aid. The official region covers a broad swath ranging from New York to the deep south.
Some listeners think that vinyl reproduces sound better than digital
It doesn't. The RIAA equalization curve guarantees that. This is just audiophools throwing money on a passion based on nothing but blind faith.
MS might be using it as a way to weasle around HB-1 requirements (people getting foreign subsidary experience to get around limits)
That's exactly what it is. There's no point in sugar coating it with the presumption of that they're trying to help out the little guy. This is all part of the orchestrated plan by the elites to create an oversupply of labor with foreign workers and drive wages down. Their proximity to Vancouver makes this a slam dunk for Microsoft. Why sink money into lobbying for more H1Bs when L1Bs are unlimited and NAFTA greases the bureaucratic wheels.

But apparently they can't be bothered to use the remastered version with correct colors.
License and registration fees for taxis and limousines are based on heavy, 24 hours a day use, and cost a lot more.
No they aren't. They're based on regulatory capture to limit the amount of competition with a not to "public safety". The cost of an NYC medallion is due to artificial scarcity, not the amount of use cabs put on city streets.
What Uber is doing in these markets is illegal but the demand from consumers using their services shows the current system does not support competitive pricing.
Don't forget the big one: The quality of news articles mostly sucks. Most news publishers are failures at providing good news stories. Aggregators separate the wheat from a larger pool of chaff.
Blocking ads is a much more of a security issue more than a convenience issue.
It is also an issue of preserving bandwidth and staying within monthly data caps. The sheer amount of javascript bloat, ad images, and flash objects spewed by top 100 sites is atrocious.
