I am ready to say FU to these companies. They were so nice when they came to town, and every time you called the office, very professional and knowlegable white people answered the phones - always. So I signed up for their service. Now that they have settled in here, it is obvious that the talent they once had has moved on. I won't put up with bad service in any capacity. I dropped my service. And the sista who took the call could care less. Bitch can't even put together the fact that she has a job due to the fact the company has customers - like me! Ass.

@JDeets-Tell me about it. All they want is your money. I wish people would stand up and speak up more. We have the same problem here. I have Comcast- They went Digital last year. They popped up one day and say you have to have a Box Adapter the next week. Freakin 300 people standing outside 1.5 hours before the Doors opened. When it opened- Woman walks outside and says they have 24 Boxes. Next Truck expected tomorrow. These Corporations handcuff you. The 1st thing they do is eliminate/buyout competition. Then they treat you like they want to.

Reed the situation is worse. Many large companies hire based on the area's demographic. I live in a major metropolitan city and you would die if you called our cable company. All calls get directed to a central call center where anyone from Moesha, Tenisha, or Delisha will answer. You won't be able to understand their eubonics, and if you say the wrong thing to them, such as "can you please repeat yourself, I cannot understand you", they will hang up on you! No joke! And if you ask for a manager, they just say no. It is crazy. You would think they own the company. They are so empowered they feel they can act however crazy they want to act with no repercussions. I dropped cable and went with a small company for my services - said F-U to the large company...hopefully more people will do the same and when their stock falls, they will realize they need to do something about these out of control sistas.

Yes-I agree. I also have "Job Related" Health Care. Many Doctors won't deal with Medicare. The "Have Nots" are the Majority. Some people hear the word "FREE" and they line up. Me? I know there's a catch I just have to find it. it's hard to get people to understand how important it is to live like they have a Future. When millions tune in to watch the Kardashians you know there is a problem. My prediction-If Obama wins- Middle income folks will Squat and sit on their money for 4 more years. Small towns will Dry up in a big way. Restaurants will close. Many will be out of work and we will just sit and watch them fall. People overestimate what Government can do for them and they underestimate the Crippling effect of the lack of Volunteer organization. America was built by Volunteers. People will pay a heavy Price if he gets in. I'm in a position where I can wait. I lived like there was a Future. Many will suffer. Then we will start over.

It is a proven fact that people do not appreciate something that is just given to them, that they didn't have to work for. I respect my health care providers because I know I am lucky to have such good providers. I talk to my doctors and they tell me the Medicaid patients are a nightmare, like they feel they can act however they want. Obama's health care will ruin this country. A total waste. I agree with you that we need more jobs, so that people can afford to buy their own healthcare, and their paychecks will help add more tax revenue.
