What makes a goddamn book worth $250? I'm sorry but like that's almost PS4 money. A book is literally just bound paper, and you're telling me it's worth as much as my fucking kidney on the human organ black market??
Universities and book publishers have the biggest organized racket in the world. Professors require you to get the book in order to do their goddamn homework assignments, so you really have no choice but to either buy the book, or bum it off one of your friends (who will soon no longer be one of your friends). So with the complicity of the schools and their professors, the publishers can charge these exorbitant figures and we are at their mercy.
Maybe you think you're smart and can save some money by buying the books used? Yeah right. The publishers already have a failsafe in place to make sure you get fucked there too. Every year they just release a new "edition" of the book. All they have to do is rearrange the ordering of the homework problems and POOF now that old edition is useless to you and anyone else, making it worthless.
I am sick and tired of this. I wanna be fucked by Channing Tatum, not McGraw-Hill.
