    I don't understand why you choose to live in a capitalist bastard country and don't move to a lovely communist country. 
    I would imagine because there are no Communist countries as they have all been under continuous attack from the capitalist West.

    I signed up to a Udemy 'DJ for Beginners' course. Normal price $74.99. Got it for $9.99. It's now back at $74.99.

    I guess some people just don't like paying for things. 

    Or maybe it's just some things they can feel superior about?

    I dunno.
  • I held off buying a new hi-fi amplifier because I thought that maybe there might be bargain. There wasn’t much off the amps I was considering. It was as I suspected, a marketing opportunity for companies 
    Did the hi-fi amplifier companies advertise a bargain that was misleading?
    Well, if you have a shop has a sale I’m a little suspicious when no where offers a reasonable offers or for that matter anywhere. I guess the margins are very tight. 
    I don’t mind paying the rate for the product but they do dress up their websites.

    Had a few things I considered on Amazon among stuff that's wearing out. 
    Two bottles of whiskey I was looking at on Amaxon are the same price in the supermarket, without a black Friday discount, although the Macallan whiskey on Amaxon was matured in sherry casks while Carrefour seems to have used normal ones. But all a bit suspect.

    Because it’s such a successful system, no such country exists.

    Is Vietnam a communist country?
    A tricky place for capitalists, I don’t know how tricky it is for dissenters.

    I don’t agree with death penalties by the way.
