I'm sitting at home watching the news (I am working from home for the next week until my layoff becomes effective) and I noted a story on the local news about AT&T switching customers to more expensive plans without their consent.
Not only that, AT&T's standard contract requires customers submit to binding arbitration, where AT&T gets to select the arbiter, to settle disputes.
Note AT&T is not the only company doing this, but they do (at least according to the news report) have the highest rate of complaints.
Seems to me like AT&T should not get to choose a biased kangaroo court to hear legitimate consumer complaints. Seems to me like contract provisions like this border on being unconscionable because they effectively remove legal remedies and actually encourage the company to implement business practices that most people with an ounce of ethics would believe are shady.
I think we can both agree, wufan, that when a governmental entity subjects you to a compliance review, it should be fair and balanced with qualified personnel AND the reasons for the review should be transparent. If the governmental entity has a concern with compliance, it should be communicated. Lord knows they can indict and convict you for tampering with official documents (since you are submitting them to agents of the state) or falsifying a government document.
So rather than looking at ways to provide more drugs at reduced prices, the regulatory bodies shut down manufacture of non-essential drugs by claiming that a label that has 98% adhesive coverage is a danger to the patient.Livin the dream

Originally posted by seskridgeGeneralizing me as a left or liberal when you dont know me is ridiculous. Kathy griffin is doing this for attention she is an annoying little ****. Nobody on here was upset when trump supporters had hillarys head on a stick, hillary with an target on her etc. Things that insinuate violence against anyone is gross and horrible. You can't shame one and not shame the other.Livin the dream

As ideological consistency has become more common it is also increasingly aligned with partisanship. Looking at 10 political values questions tracked since 1994, more Democrats now give uniformly liberal responses, and more Republicans give uniformly conservative responses than at any point in the last 20 years.
This is pretty interesting as well. I came in as a business conservative.Livin the dream

This is just an example - a little over the top, but it illustrates what could happen.
Kansas could provide incredible incentives for coal-fired power plants located within 10 miles of the Missouri border. The pollution from those plants would affect Missouri, not Kansas.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
