Comcast

Comcast is undoubtedly one of the worst corporate offenders of individual rights. Its activities re net neutrality and web traffic throttling alone are enough to dishonor it.

If you subscribe to a Comcast service, change to a competitor. If you work for Comcast, quit; or, better yet, act internally to sabotage its business.

[But be smart about it. Don't take any unnecessary chances. And never tell anyone what you're doing. The only true secret is the one you tell to no one. Revealing your anti-corporate agenda is a sure way to get caught, lose your job, and perhaps even get prosecuted and sent to jail.]

This is a good strategy to use against any corporation that acts to deprive individuals of their inherent right to live free of corporate influence.

Corporations are the antithesis of individual freedom.

Net Neutrality

The activist issue may be new, but Net Neutrality is not. It's been the unwritten rule of the day since the inception of the internet. The corporate conspiracy to de-neutralize the internet is what is new. Cable and phone companies are plotting to hi-jack the net and turn it into a corporate tool.

I find the actions of corporations generally disgusting. And, since a corporation, not being a living entity (despite what the law claims), cannot act, the actions of people running those corporations are disgusting. They act to maximize the importance of profits and minimize that of social welfare.

Medical Over-Billing

Audits sting hospitals, physicians
Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:53 am PST
AP - In coming weeks, private audit companies will begin scouring mountains of medical records. Their mission: Determine if health care providers erred when billing Medicare and require them to return any over-payments to the federal government. The auditors will keep a tidy percentage for their services.

Oh, c,mon. This has been going on for decades and they're just now getting around to checking it out? Everybody knows that over-billing goes on all the time. And the insurance companies turn a blind eye to it. I myself successfully challenged $400 on a bill of $2500. They gave in and removed the items without so much as a second look. Why? Because that's the way they do their billing. If it's challenged, remove it. "Whoops, sorry, we made a mistake." If it's not challenged, it's found money. The only thing that disturbs me about this story is that the government is paying expensive accountants to verify the "errors." That's probably another story that could be investigated for fraudulent intent.
