Comment Re: When a Company Rips Off Millions of Customers (Score 2) 30

One way to correct this imbalance is to have an agency that works on the side of Consumers, investigating the Financial industry, giving us Protection from these corporate crimes. A Bureau if you will.

Well, we had that. Now Trump is eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

We'll never make progress against this corporate power imbalance if people keep voting against their own interests.

No the administration is withdrawing hundreds of millions in food and medicine aid and hiding behind stories like this where a few US government employees were found to have accounts in this system they probably paid a few hundred dollars a year to join. Trade associations are funded by corporations and invite government and NGO members pay nominal fees to be "associate members."

That's like saying Walmart is funded by the US government because the folks at the post office buy office birthday cakes there.

A monthly fee for Netflix or Spotify makes sense -- you're renting a library far larger than you could hope to purchase outright.

A monthly fee to provide a feature or two for a product you've paid $1700 for is absurd.

People need to recognize the difference because subscriptions aren't going away, just sometimes they make sense and sometimes they're nothing but money grabs.
