Dry snow doesn’t sound like too bad of a proposition on its own.

All math is a lib lie! Just look at those blasphemous arabic numerals!

Good thing they didn’t sign.

I get corporate legal counsel are worse than fucking vultures, but this is on another level.

*"We tried to fuck you over big-time but it didn’t work out for us. We’re sowwy. Pwetty pwease come back. But sign away your rights to sue for the little fuck-up that we plan to do (not give you proper treatment due to our clear incompetence), or for the big one that we already did".

I hope the former patient gets a huge windfall and the hospital a good knocking down. The vulture getting sacked also has a nice whiff to it.

Credit cards not issued in the US or UK often lack chargeback protections in non-fraud situations.

This part got me intrigued. Would not honoring a contract (letting you use your ticket) not constitute fraud?

I have two words for you: Slippery slope.

Human rights don’t have a reasonability limit. They’re inherent and inalienable. If it were $0.01 the problem would still be the same. A human rights violation is a human rights violation.

You don’t have a human right to conversion of your property into a form that’s useful everywhere at any time, though.

Sure, you don’t have an inherent right to any and all conversions of property to cash, e.g. real estate or shares. However, if a bank says you have xy of “Money” - the “legal tender” money, the “default”, “physucal” form of money, then a service for holding said money cannot withold it from you - that would make it not your money and that would make their service a fraud.

I’d draw exceptions on reasonable grounds - e.g. if a bank doesn’t work, they don’t have to offer a withdrawal service at the counter. Not allowing transfer into legal tender cash (since cash and credit are defined as equivalent) cannot be overly long or convoluted. That’d be depriving you of your property.

The “e-bank” should at least mail the money to you. It’s really not that hard. Ideally they’d partner with a traditional bank to allow such transfers. Or it could be codified as a basic inter-bank service.

So they’re not charging anything?

Yup, just the ones that don’t produce fruit and mell like rotting flesh…
