This is exactly right, couldn’t agree more on every point. We live in a corporate world with companies large enough to not really give a shit about any one individual. It is only when we organize that they start paying attention.

I had a terrible experience of Hertz defrauding me with zero recourse. I searched on the issue and found that it had been rampant in the past and probably day to day. Hertz simply settled every time for some measly amount in the millions. To some large corporations going this route is cheaper than doing the right thing to begin with. Yet we have a government that oks mergers left and right. A win for consumers my ass.

Let’s face it, when it comes to options we are truly fucked.
