On amazon.com, search for “Bench Grinder‖a query with clear intent if there ever was one. Search by price low to high. Here are some items that appear in the results before a single piece of hardware you’d reasonably call a bench grinder…

Cory Doctorow’s Metacrap is more relevant than ever. C’mon Amazon, get your act together. You’re more search engine than anything now. You can do better.
