Verizon Charged Marine's Widow an Early Termination Fee 489
In a decision that was reversed as soon as someone with half a brain in their PR department learned about it, Verizon charged a widow a $350 early termination fee. After the death of her marine husband, Michaela Brummund decided to move back to her home town to be with her family. Verizon doesn't offer any coverage in the small town so Michaela tried to cancel her contract, only to be hit with an early termination fee. From the article: "'I called them to cancel. I told them the situation with my husband. I even said I would provide a death certificate,' Michaela said."

The reason why American love cars is freedom. Cars = freedom. If I have a car, I can drive wherever I want, whenever I want. I dont have to wait for a bus or a train. I can drive to Best Buy and buy a big tv, put it in the back of my SUV and take it home right away. Or I can go do the grocery store, buy food, and load up the back and not have to carry 10 bags on a bus or train. I can drive 100s of miles a day to different cities or different states. Visiting friends and family on my own time. I have the freedom to work anywhere in town and to get to work on my time. I start my job at 7am. There is no way I could get there at 7am by taking a bus from my house. By having a car, I have the freedom to live as far away from my place of employment as I want.
