Comcast has been fleecing its customers for years (prices go up while what you get in return goes down – if you want what you had last month the price is doubled). (*Sigh*). At least now it’ll be legal (again).
Are we stupid? We’re told -
“This tax cut is the biggest ever. Huge.” Yet our taxes go up.
“If we get rid of net neutrality your internet bill will be less”. Yet it goes from $200/mo to $300/mo (but if you want the same level you had last month it’ll be an extra $500 ($600 next month)).
Wait... that sounds so familiar. Now, where have I heard this tune before? I know, on late night TV - “If you buy these magic beans you’ll grow a full head of hair, lose 100 pounds plus you’ll have better and longer lasting sex – all guaranteed (some restrictions apply)! And, if you act now, we’ll throw in an extra 4 beans - for free! That’s right... 4 extra beans FREE! (just pay separate shipping/handling, taxes, docking fees, registration fees, license fees, state fees, local fees, foreign fees, IRS fees, GOP fees, late fees, early fees and any other few we can think of. (* Limited to stock on hand. Offer void in the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii and anywhere north or south of the equator. *)
Just once I’d like them to be honest. “We’re jacking up the price just because we want more money”. Or, “We’re raising your taxes because the corporations want us to (and they’ve promise us big bonuses when we do).” Of course, if they did that they’d be out of a job. Or would they?....? I mean, we’ve bought their crap for over 100 years now and we haven‘t fired ‘em yet.
