A.I. is now developing technology to set or charge prices based on the personal data of you, the consumer, called "surveillance pricing" while China calls it "data swindling".
Company Personalized Pricing means a business can set different prices or discounts for different customers for the same product, using consumer personal data from past purchasing history. For example, a store or business might offer one shopper a special discount for a product while showing another consumer the regular price of the product. As they say: "everything has a price".
Personalized Pricing is nothing more than:
Unequal treatment: Two or more people pay different amounts without a clear, substantial reason.
Exploitation: The price could take advantage of people who may really need the product.
Lack of Transparency: Customers may not know that their price was personalized based on their past purchasing history.
Again, who will benefit from this? Who comes out on top? Who will be making the most money? Certainly not the consumer.
Bias: Data and algorithms can lead to systematically worse prices for "some" groups.
If you suspect "personalized pricing", contact the Federal Trade Commission or Kyle James, Consumer Affairs.
Why do two people see different prices for the same flight, hotel or ride? Personalized pricing isn’t random, and regulators are taking action.

REGULATE CAR INSURANCE COMPANIES NOW!
January 9, 2026
A negligent driver jumped in front of another driver on a highway who was driving within the legal limits on the which then caused another driver to hit the lawful driver from the back. The lawful driver's car was totaled.
This accident was caused because of the abruptness of the negligent driver. The driver that hit the lawful driver's car from the back accepted the consequences. His insurance company paid the lawful driver for the damages which helped the lawful driver to get another vehicle.
However, the lawful driver's OWN insurance company actually used the "witness account" of the abrupt driver to render the lawful driver, their own client, at fault. This accident was then placed on the client's (lawful driver's) policy although the lawful driver was not at fault. The insurance company then increased the lawful driver's premium by a large amount making it difficult for him to afford the premiums for his new vehicle. To top it all, the lawful driver's profile criteria was entered into an A.I. decision maker making it difficult for the lawful driver to get insurance elsewhere/
Was this accident intentionally staged all along? Is this how car insurance companies are now making more money?
Insurance companies have a fiduciary duty to defend their clients’ interests. Neglecting this duty, especially when the facts clearly favor the client, can be viewed as a failure of the insurance company to fulfill its obligations. Appeals, or, in some cases, legal action to ensure that the lawful driver’s rights are protected and to seek resolution regarding the increased premiums is the action to take when insurance companies neglect their own clients. Clients should also immediately contact:
Furthermore, every driver is required by their state to pay insurance premiums even though wages for workers have not increased. Car insurance companies need REGULATION AND CHANGE NOW!

"Car Dealerships should not have this kind of Power."
Consumer purchased a used vehicle at this dealership. Two months after purchase, vehicle lights malfunctioned. Dealership refused to repair although consumer purchased warranty. Upon a requested vehicle diagnostic test, consumer discovered that purchased used vehicle was a "lemon". Consumer voluntarily surrendered vehicle. Car dealership then placed charge-off on consumer's credit. Car dealership refuses to remove charge-off. Consumer's credit score has now plummeted from 710- 590 due to this charge-off, hurting consumer's chances of moving forward financially.
This is happening to consumers across the United States.
Why are car dealerships being allowed to sell defective vehicles to the public with refusals to honor warranties or repair? Why are car dealerships persuading consumers to purchase warranties when they refuse to use this contractual agreement for repairs? Why are particular parts of the warranties for specific repairs for major work being eliminated from the process? Who is regulating the car purchasing process for consumers?
What the car dealership has done to the above consumer is not ethical or financially sound. It is simply an egregious attempt to make quick money at the expense of the consumer.

"Utility Bills should not be this high"
(True Story)
September 2025
When consumer checked the mail, consumer received a $700 electricity bill FOR ONE MONTH. Relatively sure that this was a mistake, as consumer worked practically all day and well into the evenings, and was practically never home, consumer called the Utility Company and was given a frivolous explanation and coldly offered a payment plan. Furthermore, consumer stated that it almost seems like working consumers almost have to be close to homelessness in order to get any kind of financial assistance in this state ...Consumer was highly upset as consumer is an older adult working two low paying jobs. The utility bill alone took more than half of one of the consumer's paychecks. The following months were about the same in charges $400-$700 a month. Nothing really changed. Why is this? For years, consumers have complained to the Utility Commission about the high electricity bills to no avail--even while living in a one-bedroom apartment.
Consumer now lives in a small, modest older home and has had wattage checked numerous times. Consumer's home has been clarified as environmentally viable. No energy leaks. New windows. Good foundation. Unplugged major appliances when not home--all to no avail. Yet, the high electricity charges remain the same.
When consumer began checking with other neighbors, neighbors also complained about the same thing: High electricity charges. One neighbor had even installed solar panels on his roof which did not help.
There are many utility companies across the U.S.--OVERCHARGING CONSUMERS.
WHO IS REGULATING THESE COMPANIES? THIS IS A NIGHTMARE AND FINANCIAL ABUSE AT ITS FINEST.

"Older Adults Deserve Better"
Former teacher was "constructively forced" and harassed into taking a buyout, due to age as an older teacher.
After taking a buyout and leaving teaching, consumer returned to school to study technology and received certification in Data Science. Consumer then switched careers. Consumer now has skills in Data Analysis, A.I., Data Science, the Machine Learning process (cleansing and organizing data, coding/no coding, Power B.I., etc.) and Artificial Intelligence prompting skills for building apps and chatbots.
Soon after, consumer posted on Linkedin and began sending out resumes for employment to no avail. Because of the Applicant Tracking systems such as: Ashby, Oracle Taleo, Lever, Greenhouse+Lever, iCIMS Talent Cloud, Workday Recruiting/SAP SuccessFactors, Handshake, Symplicity, etc., use criteria such as birthday dates, career dates and college date questions on employment applications, according to AARP, "53% of workers age 40 and over say they were asked by an employer to provide their birth date, graduation date(s), or other age-related information during the application or interview process. This allows for age discrimination. Moreover, 27 percent report that, after turning 40 they believe they were not hired for a job because of their age."
ATS systems help to "weed" out older adult workers and block older adults from getting good decent paying jobs-- technology included; this criterion makes the employment process very difficult. Older adult consumers' lives have taken a very drastic turn because of this. Workplaces and employment are very hostile towards older adults. Older adults feel "frozen out" of the U.S. system due to age and yet, they are U.S. citizens like everybody else.
AGE DISCRIMINATION in the U.S. is also supposed to be illegal. But this seemingly "APPROVED DISCRIMINATION", has now violated the Civil Rights of several Older Adults. THIS NEEDS TO STOP!
Furthermore, the act of "privatization" allows private employers to hire whom they desire and disregard the standard rules for employment. But shouldn't older adult employers who have received FEDERAL funding and contracts to start their businesses, be subjected to the same rules and criteria that they are subjecting other older adults to? Should they be allowed to even do business in the U.S. due to their older age if older workers--especially immigrant business owners, as well as older employees are being blocked from employment as well?
Furthermore, how is it that we still have U.S. Senators and Representatives who are 65+, still working in our Congress and will continue to get paid their same salary for the rest of their lives? This is a double standard and again, it needs to stop!
To date, consumer has now been forced to take a low paying, part-time job just to make ends meet despite higher qualifications. Many other older adults are regretfully experiencing this same thing all over the United States. They are gradually losing a lifestyle that they have worked very hard to build because they can't get good paying, decent jobs. All citizens in the U.S. have the right to work, but is it dignified work? Older Adults are doing the work and receiving the training in an effort to help themselves in their later years, America, what are you doing?

BANKS
BANKS ALLOWING MERCHANTS TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM OLD CUSTOMER DEBIT CARDS
January 2026
If a customer debit card is no longer active, it is the bank's responsibility to immediately cancel or block the card from usage as banks have control over these transactions upon customer activation of a new debit card. Allowing merchants to withdraw from an expired debit card that is no longer active, is equivalent to MERCHANT FRAUD.

CREDIT CARD COMPANIES INCREASING INTEREST RATES TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR CONSUMERS TO PAY OFF DEBT
Many credit card companies have been increasing interest rates, which poses significant challenges for consumers trying to manage their debt. This trend can make it particularly difficult for individuals to pay off their balances, leading to a cycle of debt. Inflation and rising costs of living often lead financial institutions to increase interest rates to maintain profitability but financial institutions must also comply with legal guidelines. If a credit card's interest rate exceeds the legal limit, it may be considered illegal. Also harassing consumers when consumers have made the effort to contact them for payment arrangements, is an illegal debt collection tactic.
"CREDIT UNIONS ARE FUNCTIONING LIKE BANKS."
October 2025
Consumers are complaining about banks and credit unions allowing merchants to access and withdraw funds from customer accounts although the merchant may not have ever had a history of withdrawing funds from the customer before which has created many fraudulent transactions, unnecessary overdraft fees, other account security issues and insufficient customer wait times when doing business with credit unions. Credit Unions are not-for-profit organizations owned and operated by their members. No shareholders, unlike banks. But they do have a Board of Directors which should line up with member interests, rather than profits. The above members has been grossly neglected by allowing unauthorized withdrawals.

Every worker today is to be commended for their hard work and effort. It's not easy in today's workplace. Kudos to employees still hanging in there! However, may customers have another concern: Fast food drive thrus are not as convenient as they used to be. WHY?
1. Customers with large orders are holding up the line. GO INSIDE when you have large orders. Stop holding up the line. Be considerate of others and GO INSIDE.
2. Some, not all, fast food employees do not LISTEN and repeatedly get customer orders wrong while other fast-food workers are just SLOW.
3. SMILE. SAY THANK YOU. LISTEN. Leave your personal frustrations at home. STAY OFF OF YOUR CELL PHONES when helping customers.
DO BETTER.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
City workers, please time traffic lights well. Traffic lights that are too fast can cause accidents. Traffic lights that are too slow causes traffic to build up.
On the other hand,
DRIVERS: Why are you slowing up on green lights? Jumping in front of other drivers? or attempting to redirect drivers on the highways by not allowing drivers to exit or to change lanes? Stop buying into the narrative to make drivers frustrated and just move out of the way. AGAIN, LEAVE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS AT HOME AND GET A GRIP.
