Press release..Voters for free and fair trade announce that on such and such day 2016 our supporters will cancel all service provided by Comcast corporation due to gross overcharges and anti-free trade policies. We invite any competers in the interest of corporate patriotism and fairness to submit a plan to provided cable and internet to users at a fair and reasonable cost without forcing "bundle" packages and unwarranted charges for date use overages. As we support a regulated capitalist system we call on Comcast to do the same. We believe this would be a great opportunity for other innovators to build a FREE market system and gain customers. ......If we get Bernie supporters and others to support some kind of plan like this we can show our strength and being g that Comcast and the like are the most hated corporations we can draw from that . What do you think?

Although there's a lot of hate going around for Comcast, I've never had anything but good service from them, so I'm not much inclined to boycott them. Not that it would do any good anyway. If we want better and fairer service from monopolistic corporations it has to be by way of government regulation. We need a government that will do that.

(115,691 posts)Making the government regulate the things it should be regulating IS a political revolution, if you ask me. Boycotting a single company does nothing unless just about every customer does it, and that won't happen.
