Re: Hopefully this forces some changes

This is typical of big, greedy business. I'm a hard core conservative but I think the way big business gets away with raping the middle class is ridiculous.

So what's the solution? Well we can, as the general public, purchase our goods and service from whomever we feel would better serve our community and avoid large, faceless, "customer serviceless" companies such as Comcast or Walmart or whatever. Or we can sit on our arses and cry for government control. I suspect the latter will happen.

We had a great video rental store here in our small town and then Blockbuster moved in. Blockbuster offered lower rental fees and everyone flocked there (since it was built in a great American "strip mall" along with a Starbuck's and Pizza place). Eventually they ran the small town video store out of business. As soon the old place shut down, Blockbuster's prices shot up higher than they ever were and we were stuck crummy service.

Careful what you wish for...cheap is not always the path to happiness.
