Today L.E. went online to pay his cable bill. The requested amount, shown as "Total Account Balance" is $42.96. L.E.knows better from the past three months interaction with these devils and believes that the amount is actually $67 or so.
When moving through the payment process, various screens show an amount due of $42, etc. L.E. had to change various "boxes" to pay the $67 amount he believes to be accurate. Should he have chosen to pay the amount requested by C*x, it is highly likely that shortly thereafter a disconnect notice will arrive in the mail with threats of many fees and charges unless a further amount be immediately paid.
Today's billing information shows that, despite prior assurances from C*x, L.E.'s account information has not been rectified and the excuses offered by them appear false.
L.E. spent further time this morning drafting terse correspondence to these digital devils in the hope that they will properly address this matter without their usual condescension and high handedness.
That one must spend considerable time attempting to resolve matters such as this is a result, in L.E. Fant of Las Vegas's opinion, of us allowing corporations to enjoy almost untouchable status.
"Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy." - Woodrow Wilson.
"The citizens of the United States must control the mighty commercial forces which they themselves called into being."- Theodore Roosevelt.
We have attained an unwholesome level of corporate control over our lives, according to L.E. Our governments large and small, federal and local, are all tainted and are more involved with furthering corporate ambition than attending the desires of the people.
As shown above L.E.'s frustrating interaction with the monopoly (due to our local government) TV cable provider is a prime example of the dire circumstances we now find ourselves in.
If in Nevada and if one is tired of such treatment only one Presidential candidate promises to attempt to wrest power from the corporations and return it to the people.
The Nader campaign has a new Nevada state coordinator who is on a mission to get the required number of signatures on a petition to place Nader on Nevada's ballot.
