FTC finalizes its new 'click to cancel' rule

[num123]

Good shyt. Google is currently getting pressed in court over its obvious monopoly now too.

These tech companies need to be brought to heel. For me it's "fukk China" but I'm impressed at how they reign in their companies. You never hear Chinese billionaires trying to let their nuts hang. The last one who tested the government was made to fall back:

Imagine if the CEO of Amazon or Google got treated like that

Because if they even think about doing it they will be sent to a reeducation camp making Jordans and PS5's for the next 5-10 years. You do what the government says or that is your ass:

How the state runs business in China

The long read: Much of modern China’s epic growth was driven by private enterprise – but under Xi Jinping, the Communist party has returned to being the ultimate authority in business as well as politics

In September 2018, Ma unexpectedly announced that he would step down from a day-to-day role in the company the following year. Ma said he wanted to focus on education and philanthropy. An equally plausible reason for his resignation, the former business partner said, was Ma’s fear that his power and popularity had made him a target of the party. Ma has been in the party since the 1980s, although his membership was not declared until late 2018, after his retirement announcement, in an article in which the People’s Daily newspaper complimented him for his contributions to reform.

Whether or not some entrepreneurs were intent on taking him on, Xi pre-emptively took the fight to them. In 2017, his administration began a campaign to rein in swashbuckling business leaders, starting with some of the corporate chieftains who had become the standard-bearers for aggressive Chinese dealmaking overseas. Some business leaders were forced out of overheated commercial sectors such as real estate. Others were told to pull back from offshore forays, either because their high profile was an embarrassment for Beijing or because the government was trying to stop capital flight. Some, such as Wu Xiaohui, the chairman of Anbang Insurance Group, went the way that communist members who fall foul of the system often do, vanishing without explanation into the party’s detention system. Only months earlier, Wu had been leading negotiations to spend $14bn on hotels in the US, but the deal collapsed. In May 2018, the authorities announced Wu had been sentenced to 18 years in jail for fraud and embezzlement.

I have them, and my membership expired in august. they didn't even try to charge my card. I had to go onto the website and re-new my annual membership myself.

 

[Nymbus]

they were a real pain during lockdowns, tried to charge me while it was illegal to go

Oh you BOUGIE rich

The NYSC near me already cost $150, so I gladly pay $75 more if it means not having roaches in my gym.


Had me afraid to even take my shoes off to squat/deadlift

Man LA Fitness wanted a mailed in cancellation to Cali office. Found a 1800 number on Reddit, that is not listed on their website. I timed the called, was in and out in 2 minutes flat. She just asked for the reason, put me on a hold and then came back and cancelled both mine and my wife's. Can only imagine how many "not recieved, maybe lost in mail" excuses were used for others.
