if you ever figure out how to get a false charge corrected on a phone bill, credit card or insurance premium... without having to just pay it you get back to me

One small victory at a time. One pension potected. One comp claim fully paid. One arbitration telling the corporation that "you can't do that." Every once in a while, expose some corruption along the way.

In a country where most have been convinced that the working folks are screwing their employers and should be beaten down and left defenseless, you are a rare character indeed, Don.

And I think it's a good thing.

Simple, if I can't get it done by whoever is local a strongly worded but polite letter goesto the CEO. They seem to hate getting them and things happen. Also where the phone company is concerned there is always the PSC, verizon really hates me.

Hello, Karl -

Welcome to AK. Your perspective will add measurably to the discourse here.

Me:

1) Quite left-of-center (by American terms), probably closest to a European Social Democrat.

2) A day spent with my dog (the best person I know) enjoying the natural world here in one of the most beautiful spots in the world.

3) I'm a self-employed handyman/contractor.

4) The wholesale purchase of government and the press by American oligarchs.

John
