Left handed people should pay more for everything

Agreed. I'd even go as far as to make them all live in North Dakota.

Lefties do it right

Yeah, plus it was always a huge pain when the coach would make me run to the local sporting goods store to buy a left-handed baton on the first day of practice every year. They were never in stock and I just ended up wasting a whole bunch of time looking and asking moron employees who acted like they had no clue what I was talking about.

Have soome sympathy. They often don't survive grade school. The ink toxicity and build up from dragging their left hand through wet pen day after day is tragic,

You should have tried Ned Flanders' Leftorium:

When I’m right I’m right wrote:

Every time I see items made for left handed people, they’re priced the same as right handed items. The production costs for left handed items are far higher through simple economies of scale. This means that the extra costs are passed on to right handed consumers.

There’s no way this is fair. Left handed goods and right handed goods should be priced accordingly.

Pay up lefties, I’m tired of supporting you.

Sadly, this is one of the consequences of runaway PC culture

They do.

And there is a movement against it.

You reside in the same market-driven economy that all those companies do. If you think you have a better sales strategy than they do, start a company and price your products as you see fit. My guess is you have a few things to learn about an aggregated business strategy.

Why should left handed people pay more for everything when only a minority of items need to be altered for left handed use?

My left handed father owns the exact same coffee maker as me. Are you really saying that he should have paid more for the product because he is left handed?

I know of left handed scissors and sort of remember that there are a few other things made for left handed people. What other items do people know of?

And, for left handers, what left handed iems work better for you than the right handed items? I'm a lefty and feel both sets of scissors work equally for me. I prefer a stick shift as we have it here in the US. Would not benefit from driving in the UK. I prefer guitar as it is for righties and would have a hard time flipping it over and restringing to play chords with my right hand. I rarely smudge my writing because I'm a lefty. I don't think a ten-key on the last side of the keyboard or lefty mouse would be better for me.

Perhaps if I had the choice between items from childhood, I'd choose some left handed items over right handed ones but I don't ever feel that I can't do something as well because I use the basic items available. The only thing I can think of right now that I would need the left handed version of is golf clubs.

In baseball they don't have to run as far to reach first base.

There is no rule stating that only left handed people are allowed to bat from the right side of the plate.
