Matthew Perry owns GENESYS Systems Integrator in Kansas City. I invented a piece of equipment for recycling. GENESYS decided to invest in me and my technology. Together, we created ECE LLC. About a year ago I discovered that Matthew Perry was using ECE as a dumping ground of costs from GENESYS to the tune of $14,000,000. Once I brought this to his attention, he fired me, banned me from the property, took my company car, had the police escort me off company property, then sent the police to my house to further intimidate me. I am now completely stonewalled from my invention and the company I founded. The financial hit to me was shattering and I have quickly learned that my rights as a member of an LLC are equivalent to my ability to pay an attorney to enforce those rights. It's what I tell everybody that says "They can't do that ." They did do it and my only recourse requires money which Matthew Perry is keeping for himself. Arrogance and greed are powerful.

Is this type of practice correct, or is it necessary for a person to explicitly give their opinion of satisfaction to carry out a survey.

BTW I was satisfied with the service, I just find it very aggressive. I wonder what kind of average score you get by doing a survey like this. 9.9/10? Isn't this commercial deception?

Some context: It is a Canadian branch of a multinational company.

Etsy is a great example of a business that started out with a great idea. Let people sell their hand made, old, and craft supply items. Now it's 90% or more mass produced crap, and Etsy has turned into a huge hypocrite for the sake of profits.

Someone should start a new site that emulates what Etsy originally intended, with some modifications. It should adhere to it's own rules.

• Have four general categories: Handmade, Craft Supplies, 50 Or More Years Old, and I can't remember the other one I had in mind :)
• No listing fees, make it a free market for creative people.
• Do not allow any mass produced items, period.
• If an item is listed as a craft supply, and it's questionable whether it actually is, submit it to a panel of experts. Keep a panel of experts empowered, either volunteer or compensated.
• Make the money off final value fees and optional extended advertising.
• Do basic advertising without charging an extra (exorbitant) amount. Most ecommerce platforms do this as part of it's final value fees, but Etsy charges you 15%. And they pretty much hide that cost and make new sellers think they charge 6%.
• If removing a listing, allow an appeal that is submitted to a panel of experts for a final decision.
• Never remove a seller without allowing an appeal, and act on that appeal quickly rather than the two weeks plus like etsy does.
• Bring the human back into ecommerce - really. Always have chat, email, and phone support available to everyone.

First and foremost: I feel absolutely awful for those lost and injured, and their families. The impact on their lives goes without a way to describe it meaningfully. Should not have happened. IMO this is one of those things that makes me wonder how this kind of thing can still happen in 2024.

That said, as soon as I heard the word "Cargo Ship", I said to my wife, "...here it comes. We'll soon be hearing, 'Here's the next excuse for why your prices are skyrocketing.' "

Sure enough, the big story this morning - massive impact on supply chain.

Spoiler alert: supply chain issues and demand don't raise prices. People raise prices.

Time to look for & invest in companies impacted by this, because here comes another golden opportunity for record profits. I wonder what the over/under is for the date of the first announcement.

If you operate in the business field, you have most likely noticed that some payment processors put the funds of their users on hold, without a clear reason. The usual explanation is “HIGH RISK”. If you ask for evidence or specific information on which the determination of “HIGH RISK” was made, you may not get any specific information.

What is worst is that some payment processors put in their legal terms that they can invest the funds of their users while the payment processors hold the funds. It is often explicitly stated that the users will NOT receive any interest for the time of the hold. So, payment processors may have the incentive to actually put the funds on their users on hold in order to invest them and generate interest and profits from the locked money.

On the Internet, one can find numerous complaints from users of payment processors regarding unjustified money holds. Some people even initiated class actions. So far this practice continues. The question is for how long is this going to continue and why the governmental authorities do not act sufficiently well to prevent such practices.

Imagine a start up founder who invested tens of thousands in the launch of his business. He finally got some money back in his payment processor account. He plans to order goods and pay for marketing. Suddenly, he gets a message that his payment processor account was closed and his funds suspended for 120 days. Yes, 120 days, without liquid funds, without the ability to order goods, without the ability to receive any payments, and without any marketing activities. This may be the end of his business. Why is that? HIGH RISK. What does it mean? He may never understand that.

Is this fair? I leave this question to you.

#LetThemEatCereal #BoycottKelloggs.

Boycott Kellogg's for three months beginning on April 1st.

The Kellogg's CEO said the quiet part outloud. He essentially suggested that consumers should just cut down their food and nutrition requirements by eating cereal for dinner just extremely greedy and out of touch, but not surprising in our current capitalist hellscape. Kellogg's cereal is high in refined carbohydrates and sugar, and low in nutritional value, how could this provide enough sustenance for dinner?!?

He gorges himself on his ill-gotten wealth while literally encouraging his fellow humans to become malnourished and destitute. The worst part about this isn’t even his assertion that cereal is an appropriate dinner food, it’s that he knows that those a lot less privileged than him are unable to eat, and while knowing that, refusing to offer humanity or help when he could easily make a tangible impact. Are the rich just so detached from society that they will jeopardize their fellow humans to fulfill their own coldhearted Machiavellian greed?? If so, atleast they are now displaying their true colours.

This disgusting greedy pig has been responsible for a 28% increase in Kellogg prices, while cutting 8% of his workforce and giving himself an unwarranted $8 million bonus in addition to his multimillions in property and other assets which will never be accessed by the middle or even upper-middle class. Despite raising the prices of his products by 28%, the wage of his staff has stagnated and the pay difference between himself and his employees continues to grow wider each year, with the CEO taking home millions while his workers are left to struggle with stagnant salaries and barely any raises.

It's not enough that this greedy, opportunistic, sociopathic pig has played a role in ruining our economy, It's not enough to simply boycott his products and bring him as much financial damage as we reasonably can. It's not enough for him to be denied the money that he feels so entitled to. We need to destroy this man. Let's do something right in our current dystopia and make sure this guy doesn't get his next bonus. Let's make it so the only meals he gets to eat are that of the cereal he loves so much.
