So one of the largest, most profitable companies of all time, stole some tech, got caught and slapped on the wrist. It's going to end up costing them 3 minutes of profit and they are balking. Maybe.
As someone that lives in the second flattest state and is surrounded by corn and soy field, and doesn't play golf, this doesn't affect me one bit. Bye.
I grew up hating mushrooms. It wasn't until I was an adult that I learned that my mom was a bad cook. Now I eat them, and many items I hated as a child, all the time.
The last thing I just can't get behind is olives. And I keep trying in the hopes of something clicks, but it hasn't
Years ago I had an issue with my service, so a tech came by and replaced my modem. I stress that it was My modem. I provided it. I canceled the service when I moved halfway across the country and kept the modem. I actually gifted it to my roommate, but that doesn't really matter.
At no point did I sign up for the rental of a modem, I never agreed to the additional terms of renting a modem. No one at Comcast could provide me with anything regarding my approval of anything as the sole end user of their service. I told them to kick rocks.
A couple months goes by, I get a formal letter issuing me an invoice for a couple hundred bucks in rental and fines for late payments. I call them, tell them the scenario and that I am not going to pay them another penny.
Couple weeks later, another letter. This time informally responded with a written letter, stating all the facts and asking for anything showing my agreement of rental of the modem. Never heard back.
A year goes by, I get a letter from a collections agency. I responded exactly like before, asking for anything proving I owed anyone anything.
Another year, another letter. At this point it's three years later or so, and they stopped for a while. Until five years later and I get another letter. Fuckers are relentless. At this point I am sure they are just trying to catch anyone dumb enough to pay, but that ain't me.
Fuck Comcast. And fuck Janet jaurez, who I have been getting collections phonecalls for since I got my current cell phone number in 2005.
I worked for lumber liquidators, and their point of sale software seemed to be surplus navy because if you dug deep enough you could order nuclear sub parts.

Fucking capitalism.
