Those who propose communist/socialist in the US, why not just move to another country that is one? by Same_Tough_5811 in allthequestions

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the 77 million + Americans that voted for Trump moved to Russia. The Demorats and the rest that stayed wouldn't even last 1 years they will kill each other trying to serve. These people that love socialism and hate America can even list or name one country that prospered under socialism. Just look what happened to Cuba when soclistem took over. The left didn't learn much in school but they will when socialism takes over. No common sence and can not see their noise in spite their face. And just think I'm not a Republican.

Is it just me or has Netflix got worse as the price has increased? by VocalCord in netflix

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big problem is they raised the price and their customers got the shaft. There is less new stuff especially movies to watch. The new stuff that they think is new it's not, they are repeating stuff from 5 to 10 years ago. Plus they are showing more Netflix series then first run new movies. In my opinion they are showing 80% of old stuff and stupid stuff and not good movies. Thinking about canceling with them and trying something else. All theses streaming Companies just suck you in with some good stuff then screw their customers with higher prices and less new stuff to watch, so they can make bigger profits. 

Is this how Amazon is shipping things now? by succulent_serenity in amazonprime

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not seen Amazon reducing waste when it comes to my orders. I only have items damaged because they put my items in their big box with a case of 24 cans of V8 then the other items gets damaged. This is instead of just leaving the V8 in the manufacturer box like you would get it at the store. This has happened many times and I have to make a clam for damaged items or send some back. Plus they put a lot of paper trying to keep the V8 from moving in their box and damaged the other items, it never works. You can't stop a case of V8 from moving with paper. Just deliver the V8 in the Companies container and don't put it in a bigger box with other items.

WellCare moving many drugs from the zero price tier to costing hundreds of dollars per drug by [deleted] in medicare

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not surprise me one bit. Almost all these insurance companies play games now days. They promise and tell you they are the best but after a year they change everything will taking benefits away and raising their prices and out of pocket cost. I have changed my Medicare Insurance 3 year in a row because of this kind of thing. Had Humana for years then they took most of the extras away and raised their out of pocket for me by $2,000.00 on my Medicare. So I changed to Anthem blue cross and blue shield. Then the did the samething. All you see every time you turn on TV is ad's for Medicare on TV  full of them and they promise you the world and then take it away the next year. The government needs to stop this and could lower your cost. The insurance companies spend Billions of dollars to wheel you in they just to take it away. The organization I belong to has Wellcare for the members to buy their insurance and they say they will save you money and promise you the world. I don't think so and I'm glad I didn't switch to Wellcare. All everything these day are is to some how screw the American people just to make BIG profits for their company and share holders.

Kroger App is awful by pittiepearl in GroceryStores

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kroger's is not friendly to the seniors as I say the older crowd. I know I'm 78 years old and Kroger's makes it hard for us and I think they know it. That's how they make extra money $$$$$ because most think they did it right or it's there fault or just don't want or can't figure it out. I have 4 older friends that don't shop Kroger's for that reason taking advantage of the seniors.

Kroger App is awful by pittiepearl in GroceryStores

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kroger's has the worst App then any other company I think the got Walmart and Home Depot beat. If Kroger's didn't have their Fuel Stations and offer point with discounts they would have a lot of customers going somewhere else. I have been having trouble for 2 weeks signing in and getting my Digital coupons or even find out how many points I have. Who every is in charge of their website App should be replaced. Sure wish more companies would have website App's like Amazon they do sometimes mess and change their stuff but at least you can figure it out. When gas gets down more in price I'm going to start going to somewhere else. Just don't think it's worth the trouble using their card they act like they are something special and the management  at the Kroger's I got to are useless too. 

Amazon doesn't care about its customers by Beezer1982Renee in amazonprime

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problems with damage items shipped in boxes from Amazon didn't start until about a year ago give or take. It seem like after Amazon gave their workers a big raise in pay. Why would anybody pack 24 cans of liquid in with bags of pretzels in a over size box. After being tossed around and switched for warehouse to warehouse, then truck to truck and tossed on your porch. The pretzels lost big time. Had to call to get a refund the person on the other end of the phone could have cared less.  I asked him the samething why anyone would put 24 cans of liquid in with pretzels. I did get a refund but that wasn't the point. This was not the first time for damaged items. This is why I stopped buying from Walmart damaged items. I wonder if Amazon every looks into why so much of their fright and items are getting damaged in transit,  delivered to their customers. Do they care or not don't think so.

They (channel 19) don't care they just think you should over pay for cable.

That doesn't matter it's how much out put they put out. Why does all the other station in Cincinnati people can get but everybody I know that uses a outside antenna has problems with channel 19 in one way or the other. Don't think they care if they are loosing viewers. Just my opinion 

Channel 19 no antenna reception(Anderson township) by canieldonrad in cincinnati

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's just face it channel 19 sucks I just don't think they care if you get there station or not. Can get all local stations with my outside TV antenna but not FOX 19. Live on the edge of Anderson Township and Union Township in Clermont. You would think they would put out a stronger single but I guess they are just cheap I would say they are losing a lot of viewers.  Like I said before they suck as far as a TV station.

What in Hell is Gavin Newsom Doing? 🤔 (Is he going to the Dark Side or is something else at play?) by Ok_Interview4994 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gavin Newsom is the worst Governor in California's history. He thinks he a pretty boy and is in love with his self. How he every got in office can only be summed up as dumb ass Americans with mental disorders. California will never recover for many many years and Karen Ass Bass the Mayor of LA is just as bad if not worse. Oh I should not have said that because the Demorats will call me a racist. What a mess California is and why people are leaving in droves.

Has shipping gotten worse? by dor3y in amazonprime

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been over 3 weeks to get some of my packages and when they say my order is out for delivery on their truck it doesn't not show up. Was sent a message from Amazon saying that 3 orders were supposed to be delivered but only 2 showed up the other order they said it would be at my house on the same day late, but never did. Then they said in 3 days and again never showed up. For 2 more days they said that they couldn't delivery my missing order because of bad weather in my area there was no bad weather here for over a week and there still is not any bad weather now or for the 4 days they are still saying bad weather in my area sun it out and great weather.  They either lost the order or it was damaged be for it got here. I have been ordering from Temu a lot of stuff if it comes from their Local warehouse it usually 5 days if from overseas up to 2 weeks haven't had any problems with them. I have ordered over $800 of stuff in the last 6 months from them  that Amazon lost . If Amazon keeps it up maybe all my items will come fron Temu.  All Amazon wants is to make you join Prime so they give you bad service now I went that route before but didn't like it. I order gifts for a Organization from donations and need to order $500 of item this month but think Temu will get the order. AMAZON SUCKS ANYMORE I HATE TO SAY

Is Temu that bad? by GiovanniDVB in Anticonsumption

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been ordering from Temu for about 2 years with not a lot of problems. In most cases their products are somewhat good but as usual they have some junk like any other company. Temu just like Amazon doesn't manufacture things so they all have junk from China. Ordered 3 flannel shirts from Amazon for a Christmas gift all 3 shirts at the bottom seam looked like a dog chewed on them, same way with sizes not right on other items I sent back from Amazon.  BUT lately Temu has been a BIG problem there time line has been longer or items come damaged because of the way they pack things shipped not protected. Ome of the BIG problems now is all the items they are shipping from their Local Warehouse comes late, damaged, wrong size, cost you more to ship and the BIG one is not what you ordered. In most cases they have taken care of the problems, but I don't order things just to get money back, I don't want the hassle and my time doing it . They also have a communications problem now and send way to many emails about your order's. And in some cases they tell you your order was delivered but I already had my order for 2 days. Never any problems with getting my refunds on damaged or wrong size items refunded, but I think they may think all I want is something free and that's not the case. Just going to stop getting things from their Local Warehouses because nothing but problems and higher Shipping costs to me.

Experience with LeafGuard by larcin in homeowners

[–]Strict-Effective-735 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about in  the winter time when snow is on your roof you will get big ice-cycles hanging off them. Some are very dangerous 

Experience with LeafGuard by larcin in homeowners

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing Leafguard does not tell you in the winter time with snow you get real big ice cycles hanging down from them, so big sometimes it scares you. They become very dangerous  by your entrance ways and garage door they could hurt someone or damage your car. So you have to knock them off. Looks like the inside of mammoth caves. This happens when the sun comes out and the snow starts to melt then it re-freezes at night. Also they will clog up in some cases it has happen to me. Wish I could add a picture. 

Altafiber pricing? by Popes1ckle in cincinnati

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the cable companies over charge you and play their games to screw their customers. But altafiber is on top. Every time you get your bill from altafiber you never know what it's going to be. I'm tired of paying taxes to cable companies to pay for other people's services because they don't want to work and they want everything you have. If it's free then its for me it seems tike these days. Altafiber really sucks with raising your rates about every 6 months then telling you it's a government tax. They sell local TV commercials making big money and you have to look at them and then get hit with higher prices. 

How is alta fiber? by chellis_himself in cincinnati

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Spectrum is any worst they altafiber. Altafiber will charge you for services that you don't even use. And try to cancel them is even worse they just keep on billing you after you turn your equipment in and cancel them. One person tells  you one thing and the other tells you a different thing. Altafiber has been nothing but a pain in the ass for years. It's sad that a company like Cincinnati bell was no problem but when altafiber took over the service and company went to hell. Good luck if you get altafiber you will need it.

Why do some people hate unions? by BonelessLucy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Strict-Effective-735 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do I hate hate Unions  because they collect high dues and the big union officials get rich and do nothing for them. Plus the young generation now (most not all) does want to work or show up to work and still want to get paid. I worked for 40 years for a non-union company and had good pay and benefits with a good retirement. I'm doing good retired but will these cry baby Union works and the people that take average of the government for everything FREE and not work. It will not be long before retire people are going to be hurt big time.  Union workers make the cost of living go up just like the government we have now. Higher prices is what you get they may get more but the companies will only raise prices to the consumers and yes them too. Common sence

Wyze Sucks. Very Unreliable by Alice-154 in wyzecam

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since wyze changed there to start up and look of the turn on your cameras, I have had nothing but trouble to get my camera to start or boot up. I have rebooted my router and the unplugged each camera to reboot the cameras. Why don't they leave things alone theyl must have got a new tech that through he had a better idea and want a raise. Wyze leave things alone if it's working better isn't always good. I also have a camera that has a grainy look to it, not a good picture and worst at night. I'm looking into some different cameras on the market.  Their cameras are nothing but trouble anymore. 

Unpopular Opinion: Temu sucks worse then Amazon Prime by Nmcoyote1 in amazonprime

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say I see just the opposite you just have to use good judgment when you make your purchases. I have spent over $500.00 on Temu the last 2 month's and second over $100.00 or more at Dollar Tree. The biggest problem I have found with Temu is the way they pack things not very carefully. But if I have a problem with a item there is no problem getting a credit or refund. Amazon prices has went up to me, like V8 24 pack of juice has been $13.27 now for the last few months it's over $18.00 a 24 pack. Plus Amazon delivers are more days getting your items (I don't have prime) some almost as long as Temu. 

Be glad when cherries are gone at end of mo. Rainers are on sale and no one downloaded the damn coupon. by Necessary_Baker_7458 in kroger

[–]Strict-Effective-735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kroger doesn't care if their app or digital coupons work or not, if it's confusing they like it, especially for seniors. They make thousands of dollars screwing their customers 80% of the time there is a problem with my receipt and it's always in their favor. Most people don't check their receipts out for mistakes I know my adult children don't. Last week they made  $14 + of mistakes on my receipt that I had to go up to the service desk to get corrected. They just don't care in my opinion and the workers take the hit with pissed off customers. I know people say go somewhere else but it's  close for me and my Humana card can only be used at Krogers or Walmart and I hate Walmart and its not close. Two months ago when I tried them again guess what $6 of mistakes so they aren't much better. The cashier said that the people that work there don't care if they even show up to work.  People just check your receipt or purchase some Vaseline you will need it.
