It's STILL all about the greed!

The local newspaper, and newspapers across the country are selling election issue newspapers for a lot more than face value, sometimes hundreds of dollars!

Come on now, this profit for the sake of profit is just wrong!

The ideal that this is a way to supplement the income or profits of some giant corporation is just bullshit!


Don't fall for this crap, please if you have the extra money laying around and must collect something, please collect something useful.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the election results are not Historic, and that an amazing thing hasn't happened, it most certainly has, but don't add to the coffers of some corrupt very-biased corporation claiming to further society by turning history into pure profit!


There is no hope for change when this is the way we conduct ourselves!

Think of it this way; The newspaper was sold, at standard rates of 50 cents or 75 cents on that day, why now, 3 days later is it worth hundreds of dollars?

Stuff is worth what people are willing to pay for it[period]

If no one is willing to pay more than 75 cents for the paper, the newspaper would just trash or recycle all the extras, rather than try to sell them to someone for 10,000 % profit!

Please don't let this type of profit continue!
We need change, yes. The election results were historic, yes. Display the papers in a museum for all to see.

It's not a world series home run ball, whereas there is only one, there are thousands of papers printed.


Corporations suck!
