              do you know that amazon had a bug in their system
              According to The Guardian, at approximately 7:00pm Friday night in London (1:00pm EST, 11:00am PST), Repricer Express--an automated service many third party Amazon sellers use to keep their prices competitive against each other--malfunctioned. Subsequently, it marked thousands of toys, clothes, cell phones, furniture and numerous other items for one penny, and many users dashed to cash out on the ultimate bargain sale.
              Though the glitch only lasted for about an hour, many sellers were horrified to find Amazon users had ordered thousands of their products marked at a fraction of their cost.
              According to Doherty, Amazon is not holding the sellers to forfeit such incredible losses to those who only paid one penny, and will not penalize them either. Amazon has since cancelled most of the orders.

                  That's huge! Wonder if Spain will let it go or enact control over the province.

                    They tried to enact control this morning, that's why they declared independence now.

                        Would this be like Houston declaring itself independent? (and don't get bogged down in the state vs country thing).

                              I think it would be more akin to Texas declaring independence from the US.

                                More like Puerto Rico. It is a fully self governing autonomous nation with its own language and culture.

                                  See that's getting bogged down in the state/country thing I was talking about. But at a country level.. yeah, I get it.

                                    That makes more sense.

                                      It's not bogged down at all. Catalonia is a separate nation that is under Spanish rule only by conquest. The people there are not Spanish, don't speak Spanish, and have their own international borders (with France primarily.)

                                        Quebec is also a good example.

                                            They also have one of the biggest port cities in Spain.
