Yeah, they'll cost you next to nothing, but you have to move them.

Reminds me about this coin dealer giving away his walk-in safe at a show.
"It's your, but you have to move it out of here."

Amazing how the Chinese like the Dems when it was the Reps that made them
rich.

They haven't been socialists for a while now. Nowadays, the Russians are
big on (a) capitalism, (b) corruption, and (c) organized crime. I will
refrain from drawing the obvious conclusion. :-)

This is why I hate the term capitalism. It doesn't adequately
differentiate between truly different market systems.
Technically many systems ranging from near socialism to
crony capitalism to kleptocracies can still be called
capitalism. Which is why I prefer the term free market.
