I was upset about the same thing. Last year I joined for $24 and this
year
they sent me renewal notice for $40!

So I crossed off the $40 on the renewal notice, wrote in $24 with a short
note that if they charged me the same rate I subscribed at, I would
renew.

Sure enough, they sent me a bill for only $24, and I kept receiving the
magazine (though i hesitate to call it that.. more of a newsletter, I
think)

different customers.

It's called volume discount.

Speaking of government costs out of control, there's the guy who started
much of it (the American Empire).

Exactly. The louder you yell, the cheaper you can get it.

Not always, depends on the size of the business. Small businesses do not
have the latitude that larger / international places have.

The poster was purchasing one subscription. I agree that volume discounts
are perfectly fair as long as the same deal is offered to everyone.

The real problem started when the government started distributing money to
individuals, cities and states.

It goes back way before that. Do you think that transition of power just
came down the road one day...with no precedent? You might be dismayed to
find your hero, Lincoln, began the process.

Teddy Roosevelt just continued the trend with the American empire. It was
the only logical conclusion.

Why does that bother you ?
Its a sales technique, we start high, when someone does not buy, we lower it,
then lower it some more. After 6 months to a year, we try to sell them again.
Works great.
No such thing as a fair deal. Companies who sell to individuals and to
businesses will double and triple the price when it comes to selling to
business's. I wont even get into that evil empire called Visa/Mastercard.
Merchants just do what they can to survive.

I don't want to be the one subsidizing someone else's better deal. Since I
am not going to get on the phone to negotiate a lower magazine subscripiton
price, I just won't subscribe.
