There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

Ha, as I’ve found, confirmed — American business practice has turned television/phone/internet pricing into a rip-off, everywhere you turn. It would be a job for the consumer protection board, if the agency ever amounts to anything. Here in Pasadena, the providers of cable has the area totally strangled, effective monopoly rent-seeking carved out over regions, depending on your zip code. If there a button to push that would annihilate select businesses without a trace, you’d push it without thinking twice.
