> Call your congressperson.

I'm sure that after my phone call, my congressperson will drop all the things he is being paid thousands of lobbying dollars to do on behalf of his donors to get right on this. Sorry for the snark, but normal people are powerless to do anything about these shenanigans.

Medicare drug negotiations and $8 credit card late fee payments are my rebuttal. You aren’t supposed to fix it; you’re bringing it to the attention of leverage who can. Phone call is free besides your time.

Super cynical. Those people hold outsized power, but they are not invincible by any stretch of the imagination. We hold the power in that we elect the public officials. They care about what we think also.

Is it? Just a plain fact. At least in the US
