how long til JetBlue and Southwest succumb?

Big Airlines raising checked bag fees. pretty soon, we'll just buy clothes at our destinations. or not fly entirely.

so, do we need a revolution?

the credit conundrum(s)

if you don't have any credit history yet, and you need to have a credit card to start establishing that history, they reject your application because you don't have sufficient credit history.

if you're jobless, and completely demolished your credit history with unpaid bills, collection claims, and bankruptcy, and your prospective employers pull their offers once they see these red flags via credit checks, then you have no way of repaying your bills and rebuilding your credit history now, do you?

who invented credit ratings and credit history, again?

Gold, Man Sucks.

planned obsolescence. huh.

i want it with teeth, dammit!

oh ..... reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally?

now I have to subsidize those delinquents? you must be joking. you can shove these cards up your candy asses!!!

and now a message for the MTA

F** You! you hold us hostage twice - first by crappy service, then the threat of fare hikes. you're gonna raise them anyway, regardless of what we do. what's that? you can't hear me? that's how your P.A. systems work in your stations and your trains, M****ers!!! yes, i'm like Rahm Emanuel!!

wooohoooo! can i have mine written off too? clean slate!

boo-hoo-hoo

give me a zero out of your income figure to add to mine, and let's see how you whine, "good old middle class" whiny fuck. you all have too much of a sense of entitlement - try living frugally, bastards.

paying thru the nose

in this economy? i think my $70 Toyota Center seat was much better than a $5 bleacher seat.

holy $hit, taxman!

even if this isn't a scientific poll (as the CNN fine print says), the closeness of the numbers is a bit scary. it means people still want to burn whatever money they have/are getting (option a), or they already spent the goddamn thing over the last 12 months (option c).

well, does it matter to the taxman? "just give me what is due me, peons!"

take that, AIG whiner.

MTA is ATM in reverse

screwed again!
