> No, common sense says people and companies will chose providers with best coverage at lowest price.
This is basically the argument Comcast uses to justify their de facto monopoly. In Comcast's case, their "competition" doesn't even exist on the same scale (which is hardly competition).
If the market were really a "free market" there would be viable options between insurance companies for the insured. Sure you can pick your doctor, and to some extent your plan, but does your company offer you multiple choices for where your health benefits come from?
I've got a question: to what extent can they dish up the "Terms of Service" argument? That is, can they refuse to fly you (domestic) if you refuse to comply because it's a "term of service"?
Is there any niddling contract law in purchasing plane tickets?
That's interesting to read in conjunction with the article. I wonder if it's a similar scenario in a lot of gender-skewed mental disorders. Perhaps many of them only appear to be more prevalent in one gender because symptoms are observed from mostly one gender, when in reality different genders express the same disorder differently (and maybe as a product of social pressures).
Not that I think there's no scientific process in evaluation, but if the only subjects with major expression are primarily one gender, it seems like it would create a kind of confirmation bias?
It's more an issue of producers trying to control User Experience right down to the nitty gritty of what stays up-to-date on a device they've already purchased and are trying to use/integrate into their already running lives.
Your device, workflow, and lifestyle are generally pretty integral to your devices, work, and life, so it's natural to want to exercise control over them?
This makes sense to me as a Venmo equivalent, but doesn't Chase have a QuickPay feature that uses Zelle? Is it more secure from there or corner-cutting?
That's a good approach. I suspect, for others (and in my experience) when one consistently comes to The Difficult Card, they might have spent more time remembering that it was hard to remember than remembering the answer.
Or, they agonize over the answer for too long, then when they flip it over, they think "Of course!" but move along almost immediately.
And I think you're right also; when you finally get it, it's hard to forget.
Yeah, absolutely don't buy from your college bookstore. Hell, just purchasing the book from Amazon cut the cost by at least a third for just about every item.
These are good points. I think the reason this kind of conflict really rubs the wrong way is because these kinds of things tend to have sour legacy effects at inopportune moments.
