Eggflation is excuseflation: We don’t have egg companies in the business of making eggs anymore, we have egg companies in the business of exploiting egg shortages.

My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
