Please give me the nuance where a click to cancel law makes sense in California and not in all 49 other states.
You're being obtuse. I'm done here.
Flying squid is a Russian troll. Only EVER criticizes Democrats. I won't say block him, because that amplifies his reach, but interact with him on this basis. He is not discussing and never has discussed in good faith.
Because there is no such nuance. This should be a federal law. It isn't because the federal government has been too weakened by Republicans over decades. Which was my point.
I've been online for like 30 minutes and every post I'm going into has you arguing with someone. Are you doing alright today?
That's not true, just look at my post history.
If I believed for a second you actually cared how I was doing, we might discuss it. But I don't.
Bullshit. What have you ever said to me in the past that would lead me to believe you were trying to create a more positive perspective of me? I do not buy it for a second.
I'm doing it right now, I'm asking if you're doing okay. I'm actively trying atm. I'll assume you are and go about my day I suppose.
SUN Bucks Summer Food Program for Kids.
You didn't provide any context. You've just named a federal program that has nothing to do with this law, which is about automatic subscription renewals. You certainly haven't explained why being able to click to cancel such a program is a good thing in California and a bad thing in all 49 other states.
