You seem to have some sort of objection to this, but I don't understand it.

What exactly were you smoking?

Taxes are what the rich pay for the privilege of staying out of the guillotine.

Repurposed plasma screens are just that; you're making use of a huge supply chain designed for providing TVs to provide for a special purpose application. It would cost rather a lot to produce 30" eink displays, and there aren't many people to spread the initial costs around.

They'll give you a "discount" for using cash or debit.

Both of them?

Is that really too much to ask?
