Automatic automatic subscriptions

-
Business's have grown more wide spread and careless this year setting up automatic renewal's on their own with no interaction with account holders.  In most case's the account holder has no prior warning of this and gets hit with bounce fees.  In other case's there might be an email sent or worse tiny/hidden print about one happening.

It does not matter the cause or outcome, the act of doing this is a violation of ' Breach of Trust '.  Breach of Trust is a national law under some wording not always the same in many nations.  But business's by use of ' Loophole ' have been twisting this by stating they do not explicitly state they are worded to cover specific things.

A sad truth about all this

-
Pages of illegal activity done daily by a vast number and in plain sight to all even documented.  These actions go unchecked and unquestioned by most thinking ' Business as usual ' or ' That's just how business works '. The case here is ignorance is not bliss, the vast populace should be angry for being cheated and misused.  Law enforcement should be arresting people in bus loads with how many or committing crimes. But reality is nothing is getting done or it's happening way way too slowly to have an effect.  But also the biggest fault is everyone is looking solely at the effects and symptoms while ignoring the bigger picture of whats causing them, whats at the root of them, why is all this happening. Government assistance is mostly an effect of a problem gone out of hand that almost no one is dealing with directly.  Everyone is complaining about the assistance programs over use and drain on the financial system while at the same time not looking at what i

Packaging bloatware

-
Here we have different aspects coming into each other:  Marketing, Shipping, Security, Storage, Manufacturing. Space and size directly effect shipping costs, storage costs and manufacture costs. The actual package it's self, some ideas are good and others are bad. Larger the package is the less documentation that needs to printed and shipped. Packages with air are crush able and take up extra space. Packages with extra padding are much larger but are questionable safer. Package shape effects total storage space: boxes are fixed in which are unforgiving, bags are cram able, blisters can be flipped to stack into each other and take less space. Package layering, I'm not talking the combing of different items into a single package but a single item in multiple layers of equal worth packaging.  Now an excusable event of this is an outside layer being unlabeled to prevent product theft or undue dmg. Large package save on documents, problem comes when they get much larger

Rent seeking product driving

Rent seeking is actually illegal under profiteering laws, yet the user base at large just sees this as ' business as usual ' or ' that is just how business works ' or ' how are we to tell others how they earn their money '.  Well the truth there is laws for that. Manufacturers having all their future and feature choices tied to an epicly short 3-6mo cycle with some making it to 12mo.  This time frame isn't long enough for end users to get the new smell and feel out of something to get a full value.  For military and space industries the use life of products are in a minimum 10yr cycle and that is where all manufacturers should expect their end users be using their products to, they did in the past.  Manufacturers go so far as limiting or even removing the end users access to simply clean the dust out of a device or replace batteries. Asking end users to pay a monthly to use their devices would go over like a lead balloon, but is essentially what we have
