55,000 Trump bibles at $60 each is $3.3 million of Oklahoma tax payer dollars.
I dunno. Hopefully, they're getting 7-year textbook quality binding and stuff. But $60 is kinda steep for a text that's in the public domain.
(At least it might be in the public domain... Which translation is the government sanctioned one, anyway? Translations can be copyrighted.)
King James of course.
Yeah. $60 is pretty steep for KJV. There are better translations available, but KJV would at least integrate better with the kind of British literature I had to read in school.
For a lot of that stuff, you have to know your Bible stories to understand it, and if you didn't hear those at a religious institution, you were at a disadvantage.
Bull rate and shipping costs, though?
