    I’m curious as to what are the new features that warrant such a price tag? Granted, designing such a website because of it’s intricate information probably can’t be designed for free or by a high school student, but $18 M? Way too much. Is the designer related in some way to the site owners or maybe a good friend? :)

    Eighteen million US dollars? That’s -what?- about 360 journalist jobs right there? Imagine more than three hundred journos writing about the recovery! Even if it was just for a year. Sighhhh.
