Comment on Cable lobby and Republicans fight proposed ban on early termination fees / Customers should be allowed to cancel cable TV without penalty, Democrats say

  I’m not sure what part of my “technically are people” language made you think I’m justifying it.

  But that is the fiscal conservative argument whether either of us thinks it is a good one or not, and thus a broad “it hurts people” needs greater specificity to scope it to main street concerns and not wall street concerns.

        Any defense, devils advocate or otherwise, supporting early termination fees is disgusting and unacceptable. It’s not really important how they spin it.

    This is some real ‘paradox of tolerance’ reasoning here. Clearly by ‘will people be hurt,’ they mean the average person, not the investor class.

      Yeah, the “average person” has greater specificity.
