Sometimes they have automatic payments that go though your account. Once they took it try to get it back.

I finally was able to cancel a Telus home security service after they tried to put me in a 3 yr contract. I finally was able to cancel. I sent the equipment back and then they started charging me other monthly fees as if I had renewed. I didn’t even have their equipment anymore.

another 45 minutes on the phone and they say it is finally cancelled. But who knows. I’ll probably have to call again when they take the amount from my bank account despite removing my bank info from their site.

A company with 19.2M users. Imagine how many people are robbed “by mistake.” This is not a mistake but part of their internal procedures.

Cancelling a service even when contract is over is made difficult on purpose.

Instan pot didn’t continue to update their app three years ago and I now have a useless Insta pot.

How did the world react when Bush and Gore election results were questioned and it was decided that despite Gore having more votes Bush won? I’m not saying Maduro held fair elections but the only reason the G7 countries want to remove the dictator is so the oil can be extracted for private companies. Not because of the nature of the current government. If this were the case they wouldn’t have wreaked chaos all over south America, the middle East, Asia and Africa by replacing democratic governments with dictators throughout the past 75 years.

I have experienced every single one of those situations. Such a frustrating but accurate article.

Define “healthy” economy? Would you say the USA & Europe are “healthy” economies? Would you agree that poverty, a constantly increasing wealth gap and access to affordable housing, medicine and education are some factors that define an economy’s “health” ?

Funny how economy was supposed to be a tool for humanity and civilization. Instead it has become the purpose. Humanity’s well being and civilizations are now secondary to a healthy economy.

Have you checked how many military bases the USA has in other countries? The USA doesn’t give money for nothing. They have military presence in every timezone/hemisphere.

USA has to respect the nuclear arms treaty… Ukraine was promised protection in return for giving up nuclear weapons.
