| GOOD! Good! 'bout damn time these old geezer discounts go away. This is nothing more than age discrimination at its finest, but somehow senior citizen discounts get a free pass. I don't care if you're 25, 65 or 95, you should get no free coffee at McDonalds, no half off a Grand Slam at Denny's and no deeply discounted cable TV due to your age. Who wants to start the countdown clock when the folks at the AARP make a stink about this?
I pay roughly $240 for cable (goes down to about $200 after NHL Center Ice is paid), and if the geezer next door has the same exact services as I do he should not be paying a penny less.
Nice slap in the face to the putrid AARP a few years back, they offer a insurance reduction class for car insurance that gets you a 5% or 10% discount, it used to be for those 65 or older only until some brave soul stood up and said that's age discrimination. Now it's open to all.
Imagine the outrage if there were discounted cable TV rates for those under 25, or discounted TV rates based on race. |
