It costs a lot of money to make an album in a studio in New York with a producer and musicians. I have to pay a publicist every month. I have to pay for mastering, production, the manufacturing of the discs. Then, to promote an album properly, you have to spend a lot of money.

The Office for Budget Responsibility correctly stay out of the political debate and do not assess the long-term costs and benefits of E.U. membership.
My main argument is that environmental destruction comes when people externalise their costs and pass them on to future generations. That is obviously something that large enterprises do and they become large by doing it.

Every day, lax sentencing costs lives.
One of the technology lessons was to work inside the cost envelope of the developing world to lower costs overall. What’s even more important and useful is dramatically lowering power consumption. Everyone wants batteries that can last 10 times longer.
