Cuz other countries have strong consumer laws that make it so the price you see is the price you pay. Whereas here in the US we like to hide things like taxes and fees to 1. Make consumers overspend and 2. Make consumers extremely aware of the taxes they pay so that anytime reducing taxes on the rich comes up they think “yeah, I hate taxes, let’s lower them!”
This is funny, because amer*can currency is nowhere near strong enough to be comparable to EUR now
99€ is with tax and 99$ is pre-tax? No?
kinda-ish, but why is one price sans tax and the others with it

For reference, $99 are like 85€ nowadays.
Thanks Obama
