| Some people don't know any better Reminds me of the time that my recently-deceased grandfather paid some jerkoff $150 to plow our driveway after about 8" of fallen snow. I was late in getting back home to plow it myself because of the same snow. So, my grandfather got taken advantage of by some schmuck because my grandfather thought $150 was the "going rate" to plow 175 feet of driveway in 10 mins.
I don't think companies are any different then you're regular, run of the mill town jackass with a F-150 and a plow. Given the opportunity, they'll take advantage.
None of us are really in our 80s yet - god only knows how alert and aware we are at that age. Let's not pass judgement on the old lady, saying she could have opted out if she wanted too. She may not know any better than to keep paying the montly fee.

What's certain about Darwinism is that it would take less time for (1) a single-celled organism to evolve into a human being through mutation and natural selection than for (2) Darwinists to admit they have no proof of (1) - Ann Coulter |

Wow, that is a ripoff. I used to pay the bills for my subdivision and we only paid $200 for snow removal for the entire place. Tell me about it. When I found out, I asked my grandfather for a description as best as he could do, and spent 2 hours driving around town looking for the guy. Never found him.
Ah well, Karma takes over, and at the time, probably saved me from from being arrested.
