If they're advertising a price lock and not delivering a price lock how are they not being hit with the long arm of a government agency for false advertising?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because both political parties have limited the power of said government to do so.

Because they do not care about you

Asked? How about the government tells them with a big fine.

As someone who considered Suits somewhat of a guilty pleasure, that ad is absolute mirthless garbage lol. The top comment on the video is spot on.

I didn't even know what Suits was, somebody had to tell me.

They look so old, it's like seeing someone you haven't seen since high school and they just look old and run down.

One grifter calling the other grifter out. Interesting times we live in.
