I think they're annoyed, but tough luck.
That's just the way it works now.
Maybe in terms of its reputation, it does smell bad like a Chanel knockoff perhaps.
I agree with James.
It is a non-event.
It does seem to me that eBay, at the level of its income statement, is sort of playing at the margins of its revenue stream.
That's going to be the practical impact in terms of the business operations.
But
It does give us an opportunity to say what a gifted analogy spinner Rick is and to extend it just a little bit.
It's always easier to get people to drink more once they're inside the bar and liquored up than it is to get them to pay a higher cover charge when they're sober.
So on the margins, it's probably a smart move.
All right, so I wish so much that I did not agree with what James just said, but I do.
So if someone were here, perhaps Seth, he might make the point that, well, this is just another example of the nanny state gone too far.
And it does raise interesting questions about where you draw the line.
So do you tax people for not going to bed at a reasonable hour so they get eight hours of sleep?
And so it's arbitrary in some ways, but the statistics are compelling.
And so rather than nanny state, I would say it's sort of a science-driven public policy, and that's smart for all concerned.
Shannon, what's your beef this week?
My beef is whatever happened to the conversation about the public-private partnership that was going to rescue the banks in terms of closing this valuation chasm between their toxic assets and what investors would pay?
That was a hot topic.
