George Bush. The fucking dollar is at to 1.33 to 1 euro, which means a 10 eu record cost $13.33. throw ten more euros of post and that is $26 for an LP. of course i am buying wholesale but what it all works out to is $14 wholesale for one LP (shipping included). which means I gotta charge more than $15 ppd for one record. people dont like to buy any record for more than $15 so the sales slow down. during Clinton the dollar and euro were pretty much even and that RULED. anyone who says republicans are good for the economy doesnt know what the hell they are talking about.
sorry about the rant but i just paid for a big batch of french records and my ass is sore. (no fault of the french.)
