USAToday will double in price on Sept 30, going to $2per copy. This supposedly aligns the paper with other national publications. It's probably good news for both birdcage liners out of OKC and Tulsa.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Does it come with a free maid? Oh wait. Then it wouldn't be free. Never mind. |

Hotels charge at market rate, not at cost plus. That's why you get "free" Wifi, parking, and breakfast at, say, a $100 Hampton Inn, but not at a $250 JW Marriott. A one-dollar increase in cost does not equal a one-dollar increase in price. |

Economics of scale? The more freebies and the hotel offers, the cheaper the rate? Bottom line: the hotel doesn't get the stuff for free, they're passing the cost on to the guest. |

The whole hotel pricing thing is very elastic. Have stayed in the same hotel - same floor - and paid from $104 to $178 per night. Even the same week, have had two rates on the room depending on night. Kind of like airline ticket pricing... Same hotel is now only avail at $255. So I go to a "new" Hilton two blocks away....1875 bldg nicely redone. $114 a night. Worse restaurant, though. |

I had a subscription to it back in the 80s. I never saw who threw that in my driveway. It was like it fell from the sky and just appeared. My renewal would be a envelope attached with no name on it but a USA Today address. Very weird. I can't remember how much that it was but I do know that it was not that expensive. And my big draw was the National sports and the color pictures.  |
