The idea that Visa wants $750 as an application fee for a start-up is already absurd, but then when they want AN ADDITIONAL $750 p/processor to re-evaluate THE SAME SITES a second, third, forth time, is nothing short of extortion.

And now MasterCard wants some of the phony pie too, and some people want to mock small programs, rather than fight the greed?

I'll pay the stupid $500, but I don't want to, and I think it's a fucking greedy grab.

If the powers-that-be tell you that you now have to pay an extra $500 a year for your driver's license renewal, are you supposed to be happy about it?

In NJ we have a $600 p/year Corporate Business Tax, which simply allows you to be a business in the sate of NJ. You have to pay it, but you don't have to be happy about it.

The biggest problem in this idiotic business is everyone talks tough, but in the end everybody here just bends over like spineless assholes.

Oh look, tube sites steal our content and fuck us over, what should we do? Oh, I know, we should create our own tube sites and do more of the same.

Oh look, another credit card company wants to steal another $500 from me, that's cool, maybe I should also make fun of everyone else they are fucking over too, in another gutless act of sacrificial solidarity.

Pathetic.
