Old people pay the $1 because of course, then forget.

I make it $100 Canadian per month, plus tax. It’s not intended for us lowly poors.

Yeah, it’s $75 USD a month. Who the fuck do they think they are charging that much? I get 1Gbps internet for less than that. That’s 3 weeks worth of groceries. That’s YouTube Premium, Disney+, Netflix, and Max combined.
Absolutely no way an online news outlet is providing even close to a quarter of that $75 in value.

I would be lucky to get a week off of that. If all I ate was instant ramen and stovetop pasta for every single meal, I might be lucky enough to get two weeks off of that.
The outlet is called Financial Times, and—if you think about it—they certainly do an excellent job in helping individuals manage their finances correctly. After seeing a $75 charge on my bank statement from a news outlet, I would never forget to cancel another promotional subscription again.

You can get a lot of rice and beans for 75 dollars. Definitely sounds like a rough week tho

its the Financial Times, they know exactly who they are charging that much, and those people will spend that about of money without even noticing its gone.
