Inflation is only 1.7% and my cable box rental fee just went up 35%

Does Grandma know about this? :evil:

Did your cable company say that there rates were tied to the rate of inflation?

What is? But, this box was bought and paid for a couple years ago. So, why do they need more money for it now?

Global warming has slowed down the electrons. They have to pump more of them in the cable to keep the same signal strength.

I'd dump Time Warner, but I'm pretty sure that AT&T is even worse.
