re: $300? Come on, be serious

$300 is:

6 fillups for my SUV (Expedition with the BIG engine)

an average-size commission for my option trades

a lot less than we spent in back-to-school shopping for our K, 2nd, and 5th-grader (and we shop at Walmart)

less than I will spend for a year of lunches for each of them at school

not enough to upgrade the tiny 17" monitor on the old PC

I got slightly nauseated, listening to the Shrub's "I feel your pain but it's not my fault" speech.
