gov't lies/selective news coverage

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Some weeks ago, there was a posting, I don't know where, that I read concerning INDONESIA sliding into a worse chaos than even before. They said that that was why they were having a shortage of inkjet printer cartridges here in stock, since almost all brands are made there!

Now I cannot vouch for the veracity of that, but I just happened to order a whack of spare cartridges for my EPSON in August, and got them on time and at a very good price.

Guess what, boys and girls? I just re-checked the site, and my cartridge went from 8.50 to 14.25 now, just 6 weeks later! The colour one increased by the same %.

So why is none of what's happening there covered in the news??? The site is www.cytoink.com
