Cost of living, OP/ED........

Cost of living, OP/ED........
I finally had it with my cable company. Cut back my channels because they jacked up the price one to many times.

What these morons do not understand is that they could do far better by allowing the customer to cherry pick the channels. What they would lose in the bundles they would make up for in the volume of customers.

But it isn't just that. Everything is part of a rigged market, the customers today have very little say because the laws are written by corporate America far too much. It is not supply and demand, the prices are being dictated to the consumer, not by the consumer.

It used to be growing up when gas prices went down, food prices would go down too. Well not true now. Gas prices have been at an all time low, but yet now the meat I used to buy at Food Lion, shrank in size of packaging but the price stated the same or went up.

This shit has to stop across the board. Profits in the stock market are at an all time high but the middle class and working poor are stagnating and falling.

What we have now is a free for all market, not a free market dictated by the consumer.
