Charlie McHenry<p>American Airlines Cuts JFK Moving Walkway — Because You Spend More When You Struggle - this is exactly what I mean when I point out that over the years business has become more and more predatory. All business. From subscriptions, limited ownership rights, right-to-repair, you name it. Corporations are after our $$, our data, and our lives. We exist only to feed the machine and provide labor to stoke corporate wealth. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/PredatoryCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PredatoryCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/PredatoryBusiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PredatoryBusiness</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ConsumerProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConsumerProtection</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ConsumerRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConsumerRights</span></a> <a href="https://viewfromthewing.com/american-airlines-cuts-jfk-moving-walkway-because-you-spend-more-when-you-struggle/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">viewfromthewing.com/american-a</span><span class="invisible">irlines-cuts-jfk-moving-walkway-because-you-spend-more-when-you-struggle/</span></a></p>

Leah kvetches all the time<p>Apparently, Seagate changed their terms of service sometime in the last 6 months to say that their backup drives only work for one computer now. Prior to that I was backing up my 3 systems on it with plenty of room to spare. I didn't realize it wasn't backing up this one until today, when I was weeding out dropbox junk and noticed that Seagate hadn't backed up this computer since last June, even though it was the primary computer I bought it for. And I never got a notice of any kind - it just quit working. The laptop it apparently DOES work with now has almost nothing on it, since all my client files are shared with them in Dropbox.</p><p>This kind of greed is ridiculous. I ordered a different brand of backup for my graphics & arts computer (which does have a ton of affinity and music files on it) just for spite. </p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/PredatoryCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PredatoryCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Seagate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seagate</span></a></p>
