Engadget's recession antidote: win a Mint 130 Digital Music Station!

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got a 30 watt Mint 130 Digital Music Station on offer, able to fill your office with tunes from an iPod, PC, or Mac. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting!

Special thanks to Digital Signature for providing the gear!

The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one Mint 130 Digital Music Station. Approximate value is $119.
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until Monday, March 16th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

Tax profits on credit card company interest collected based on card holder's income. For example, if a card holder has less income, a greater amount of the interest he pays (profit for the card issuing company) will be subject to corporate tax of the issuing company. This will force credit card companies to better restrict the amount of credit they extend while not prohibiting them from extending any amount they want. The fed can set the tax schedule annually based on economic conditions.

Free music is good.

[pjlynn Posted Mar 16th 2009 2:31PM]

[aarond12 Posted Mar 16th 2009 3:00PM]

Wow! That is a nice music station!

Today's recession fix? Simply implement the "flat tax" that people have been asking for! Make taxes (reasonably) easy to pay and fewer problems will arise, and the government will get the money it needs to fund these recession-breaking projects.
