    You understand perfectly. It’s fucking stupid. No, the fraction never changes. It’s just a culturally and legally accepted price scam, one of many that only exist in the land of freedom. The price listed is literally never the price you pay in the USA.

      The 9/10 of a cent isn’t unique to the US. But not having the tax included is kind of weird.

      Edit: tax not TeX lol
