Well, good. Should be illegal basically everywhere, though.
- renewiltord 4y agoWell, there's a mechanism for that. I believe other states' residents don't care as much about these things, though. For instance, the amount of work required to make this law in North Dakota is pretty low, but I don't think it's going to happen.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoI think it should just be a federal law enforced by the CFPB. The level of obviousness, in terms of consumer protection, is very high here.
- lupire 4y agoRepublicans strongly oppose the CFPB: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Financial_Protection_Bureau https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Financial_Protectio...
- kelnos 4y agoMaybe the FTC? CFPB is solely concerned with financial institutions. They're not going to care too much about newspaper subscriptions.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoAh okay, I thought that they enforced consumer finance stuff more broadly.
- LordDragonfang 4y agoBut consumer protections are for "liberal nanny states" that "no one wants to live in".
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoIt's the problem of a two-party system. Apparently wanting easy online cancellation means you need to support an entire debt-ridden, tax-heavy, welfare state that encourages high crime rates, violent criminal releases, and penalizes self-defense.
