My latest Discover card bill had a minimum payment of almost 75% of the whole statement. Whaaa??? I am frugal and do not use credit cards often but really we occasionally need them. I called Discover to cancel the account and was put thru to a “closer.” He told me (without even getting my card # that since I had been a member since XXX, I could go back to my prior rate. Me thinks they are getting a lot of flack and thus folded, except for the worst creditors. Also Discover’s recorded message says: You are now connected to our Arizona Closing branch, or you will be connected to our South Dakota service. We’re all discouraged, but maybe those phone calls re having American service reps and hell no I’m not paying 75% minimum is working.
is better than this one was. I’m beginning to redevelop that persistent state of dread and pessimism that I carried with me for pretty much the entire 8 years Drinky McDumbass was president, and that’s not a good thing.
another former Obama supporter who doesn’t want to be recognized in public any more, particularly by friends and family members he talked into dipping into their wallets and spending valuable time helping to get him elected.
And there’s a moral to this story as well:
It is best not to wear a grocery sack over your head while your hair is on fire.
