The plan is $75 in big bold letters on the website and every other bit of marketing material, but I have to pay $85 if I want to use a credit card, or a prepaid debit card, or Apple/Google pay, or mail a check, or go to the store and pay cash. Why is this not a clear case of false advertising?
In fact we printed 20% of all money ever printed because they couldn't go two weeks without normal cash inflow.
Edit: This was just in 2020, and is true, doesn't matter if you don't like it. We'll all be paying higher taxes now forever for it. And the value of the currency will devalue to the point where it is easier to payback, because that's what inflation does.
Which also means whatever you have in your retirement account will devalue and you’ll need even more money per month when you retire. To offset this, your salary and contribution amount needs to increase. Otherwise the net effect is you are getting a pay cut.
The unusual requirements to actually pay 75 are not explicitly defined anywhere that I’ve found and I’ve read almost all the fine print if not all of it. This is plainly false advertising. If I go to a grocery store and everything is labeled one price but I get charged 10% more because I’m paying with a card and the only notice is a little sign hanging near the bathrooms down a disgusting hallway no guest goes down, then the bad faith checkbox notice posting is prima facie evidence of intent to defraud. This could be successfully prosecuted under federal wire fraud statutes, considering the litany of more tenuous precedent thanks to our war on drugs, if anyone with real power in this country had a spine or belief in justice.
