<p>What is reasonably priced? Lenses are lenses so one vould debate the real cost, but the frames are incredibly overpriced for a piece of metal or plastic with two joints and those components that land on your nose.<p>Frames could literally cost 1 dollar (only happened after china entered this market), but good luck finding ones like this with good lenses.<p>You need to buy from one supplier who intentionally offers cheapest frames for 50+ dollars and those frames look like crap. The ones that look better (even if same plastic) cost 500+ dollars - and all due to price gouging.<p>For lenses I am not sure, but suspect something similar.</p>

<p>Why wont they just hack the central bank to get AI financing from the money printer?<p>Nobody would be responsible for that, since the hack was done by AI.<p>Some option is to bribe some politicians, although they already act as if they were bribed.<p>Will "the AI" hack the vote couting machines too?
