Im sure worker piss jugs and a laundy list of privacy and labor violations as well as paying workers non liveable wages while being run buy the richest person on earth has nothing to do with it.

Maybe... I was asking Adam_L though... Amazon was paying $11+ hr and has bumped that to $15+ hr, that's pretty good pay for that type of job. No doubt Amazon has used some unfair tactics to get where they are today, and they have also done a lot of good... unlike a lot of other big companies. In any case, stating that 10 out of 11 people hate Amazon is a bit of a stretch... or maybe they do hate them but still give their money to them regardless.

I am jealous and salty about US conversion to CAD pricing.
prior to entering in the 15% shipped with import fee's the same exhaust was $1700 on ebay lol.
$1350 + $120 S&H + $250 import charge.

Looks like FT86SF is still the cheapest for me at $1350.



EDIT: just checked and FT86motorsports is also offering 10% off from the 23rd to the 26th. They also do free shipping above $150.
Good for Canadians

citation needed. there is exploitation every step from the exploration of native lands for resources, to stealing of money through extraction of surplus value of the worker. this goes for literally everything from apples at your grocery store to macs at the apple store. the system we live in literally depends on it so can we not just spout random baseless claims? thanks

FYI, Rally Sport Direct is selling the Tein Flex Z (updated 2018 version, the "super low" with upgraded dampers), for $690 after discount. Best deal I've ever seen on these. Every other website has them for about $750-$850 after discount.

Anybody know of any good torque wrench deals going around? I need a new one.

I never said anything about *hate*. You know, hatred leads to anger, and anger leads to suffering. ....

One of the main over arching themes I hear people/ users of Amazon say ( mainly sellers), is how high of a % they take from a sale ( pretty sure it's around 15%, but that was the number I hears 1-2 years ago). With the good, comes the bad

Again, no hate. I'm just speaking purely in numbers talk. Is that $15 per hr in a larger city , or are workers located more rural/ small city under 60k people? If it's bigger city, then $15 is par for the course as of 2016 or so, larger cities have been told ( pretty sure by their congress), that the minimum wage in those larger cities is to be $15, that went into effect ...2016 or '17. It's about time. Minimum wage stagnated and didn't move for about 8 years....thanks a lot Bush and Obama, going from $8-9!!

I'll turn it around on you. It is not possible to live without consumption. Try it. You'll die.

If your claim that there's no such thing as ethical consumption is true, then it's impossible for you to live ethically.

Therefore your only ethical solution is to die.

No doubt you'll respond with some silly nonsense. But that nonsense will be proof that you are still alive. Therefore any response you provide will be unethical. Your only choice at this point is to stop responding and go die.

Logic!

I'm hoping FT86 motorsports will put on a deal since I can drive to the warehouse as they're local.
Holler, we'll see if we can beat it
