Preying on the Poor...

I'm pretty sure somewhere in the Bible God said "look after the poor" or maybe even "Pray for the poor"...why is so much of society Preying on the poor...or at least so eager to take advantage of the downfalls and misfortunes of others? In the least they are taking advantage that most of society doesn't know how to budget...
So, i'm sitting in this Western Union yesterday, frustrated enough allready, but to add to all of that this particular WU is located in a "Money Mart", you know, one of those fast cash business' that you can get your cheque early if you can't afford to wait. i get a criptic feeling just being in one of those places. There was a poster on the wall with the statement "when you just can't wait till pay day", and it had a big picture of a guy standing there, holding these very large cigarette's that were on fire... how pathetic is that. sure, i smoke so i know when you run out of smokes and have no money, you'll do a whole lot of odd things to try and get urself a pack of the sweet toxins you're body is so craving. but why, when smoking is a large enough cost, are companies so willing to us such a thing as "smokes burning a hole in ur pocket" as a advertising tool. Oh and just to make them sound friendly their advertising slogan for the company is "Real People. Real Fast" ...are you kidding. that business is there for one sole purpose, to get as much money as they can out of people's lack of budgeting techniques.
i'm not the best of ones to talk, i suck at budgeting, but i also know full well that these places are there only to rip you off as much as you can. Banks in general, charges for everything these days. just to send a wire transfer of money cost me almost 300.00 yesterday, how awful is that. to send someone money. real people, really screwed...

When was the last time a company actualy came out for the benefit of the customer. I know starting a business is of course your 'bread and butter' and you need to live and why not make good money at it. But the gluttons of this society are far beyond getting their bread and butter. They are looking for every exploit possible to make as much money they can with as minimal cost as possible. I'm sick of companies that don't have a single shred of integrity and honesty in them. You know the best way to get your money's worth?..you have to bitch and complain, that shouldn't need to be done. The only reason i am satisfied with such services as Roger's Media is because i know that if i call and they document my account, and i call enough times to complain about something eventually i will get credit for my troubles. and that's hardly enough to satisfy me. i have no problems with Rogers right now so i'll leave htem out of it, but i'm sure someday i'll have lots to say about them. like...3 year contracts. 3 years?!?!...i guess when you look at the amount of people that don't move from one place it's not so bad. like my father, lived in the same city since he's been born, didn't leave for a thing, except the odd vacation. 55 years in one place. Not a bad place, works well for him etc. so in that sense, 3 year contracts aren't all that bad, but geez, for a person like myself, who has absolutely no idea where i'll be in 6 months from now let alone 3 years, contracts like that would be the end of me. cancelation for a regular cell phone contract?!?!. ..20/month up to 200.00...rediculous.

ok, enough ranting for now, i got work to do...or, a lunch hour to enjoy...
