COMCAST SUCKS!

I get the internet so I can make a little change. I blog. I do surveys. Trust me...it doesn't qualify me as a 1 percenter! I make gas money to go look for real jobs. I make money to last until the food stamps come in. Don't judge me! The technical ex is on disability. After rent, car insurance, my scrips (since I am not on Medicaid and we have no insurance) and what the VA takes for the tech ex's meds, we have MAYBE $100 for gas. That gas is for job searches, doctor's appointments (and some of his are in West Virginia! We live in Maryland!,and the normal grocery runs.And, since he gets a disability check...which he is entitled to!...and he is a VET, hence the VA appointments!...our food assistance has been reduced by $144! He has high blood pressure, diabetes and has survived 2 strokes in 2007. Despite Sean Hannity and his crew,(Malkin and other vipers), and Bill O'Reilly,(who I have repeatedly said I like), we are still the pariahs of FOX News. Entitled?!?! We just want to live! I want to work but my expertise is Customer Service Call Centers. Most of them where moved to India and the like during the Bush administration. I have a great retail background but my teeth are really bad and no one thinks I should be the face of their company. Did ya NOT hear that I don't have INSURANCE?!?!?! And yet I am still not for Obamacare. I am less than impressed by Romney when it was discovered that he outsourced as a governor and a Bain Capital raider. COMCAST, who I hear owns NBC, will take our money but not fix our net connection. They could've fixed it properly when they installed it. They didn't, but they still took the installation fee. When it failed, they sent a tech who said he would not "crawl around in the rafters", but DISH Network hooked us up in May 2011 WITHOUT crawling around in the rafters. In March 2012 the net went down. The tech says its the fault of our cable and the landlord owns the cable, He did a quick fix. Now I must let every reader know that cable/net is NOT in my rent, so the landlord lets that up to us. On 6/21 the restaurant below my apartment DISCONNECTED my internet and connected his. He says COMCAST did it but the tech says he did it. We were without internet til 6/14. Today the net went out because the restaurant called in an outage. The tech disconnected US! When my son went down, we were reconnected and the tech had the gall to tell him that he would give him the cable and he could replace it in the crawlspace that we already know is not needed for a new connect! Is it any wonder the economy is trashed. OBAMA and ROMNEY are so disconnected that these businesses...and I use the word loosely...DON"T CARE! There was an old joke when I was a teen that went like this. A patient took a prescription to a pharmacist. He demanded to know what the doctor wrote because he couldn't understand it. The pharmacist glanced at the scrip and translated: I got mine, now you get yours. Is it any wonder we are in an economic plunge?
