I have an example of how there’s power in walking away.
My current internet provider spectrum no longer rewarded my loyalty with $84.99.
So I called and said I’m going to be switching to T-Mobile for $50 + auto pay.
Went to T-Mobile store setup the router, called Spectrum told I wish to cancel that I don’t feel rewarded for my loyalty. They counter offered
$40 12 months, brand new equipment faster speed.
Negotiations work with leverage, when you have the power to walk and show intent.

Astrophysicists have found evidence of UAPs in old photographic plates. Something seems to have been orbiting around our planet before we had satellites! This finding has been independently confirmed. Still, scientists are afraid to speak out. @drbeavillarroel @rizstanford
S-toppen Anders Ygeman vill inte bo i invandrarområden
Underbart! Röstboskapen får flytta till invandrarområden och dras med att få invandrare flyttade till sig, medans S-topparna bor kvar i sina egna rikemansområden.
Det är för mig en gåta hur någon arbetare någonsin skulle kunna tänka sig att rösta på S.
