Je ne suis pas morte ! Mais j'avoue que c'est compliqué d'être partout en étant nulle part et en préparant le retour également (il reste un mois et une semaine avant qu'on ne mette le véhicule dans le container :shibashock: )(et il faut que je gère la chaleur, ça j'ai du mal X'D).
Pour la peine, voici une petite illustration dans un carnet que j'aime et j'adore, qui me permet de travailler sur un nouveau projet en parallèle (surtout de me donner une ligne conductrice pour des illustrations).

Sunwing stranded Waterloo couple for 5 days after vacation, charged them $50 flight change fee to fly home

Venice successfully boosted incoming #tourism by introducing a #fee. That made worldwide news and reminded everyone, that Venice is worth a visit.

They complained that #tourists bring their own lunch and don't stay overnight, which made the news. So everyone was reminded that they could stay outside town (through I recommend to sleep in Venice) and that they can bring their own lunch to save a lot of money.

#Venice is reaping what it sowed. An interesting case of unintended communication.

Would love if this could make a dent in the…”#fee padding” that is…
Standard practice for companies, who jack-up costs…gauge consumers.

It’s as if we’re paying a taxes to #corporations now…
A #greed tax.
It’s time to say…”ENOUGH”!

D.C. attorney general sues #stubhub over ticket-buying process & fees -

apple.newsD.C. attorney general sues StubHub over ticket-buying process and fees — The Washington PostThe lawsuit contends that the online ticket-seller deceives customers by adding fees at the end of a lengthy online checkout process.

Here is an interesting thing to store in back of your mind if you ever shop for a new bank

My new bank, Chessie Credit Union, only mails statements every 3 months. Only certain account types are eligible for emailed paperless statements

And there is no way to get a paper or email statement each month showing the amount I owe each month on my savings-linked credit card

So if I don't remember on my own to check their app and pay my balance- which comes due every month- I accrue interest and a late payment #fee

I'll just put a reminder in my phone but thought people should know
#banking #creditunions #creditcards

"So let’s talk about #Flex.

I’ve been getting email from them and my apartment complex. Flex is a new #payment options where they take your #rent and divide it over two to four payments. But of course flex has it own #fee.

So essentially Flex pays your rent with a fee and you pay flex back. Sounds good right.

But I did some digging because they are pushing this so hard.

Come to find out, Flex is horrible. It doesn’t tell you how much the fee is until you sign up. Once you sign up it’s damm near impossible to get out of it.

So let’s say you need to split September rent, but in October you are fine. You still have to go thru flex and pay the fee.

Then I found this article. Not only could the lady not get out of flex, she ended up owing them about 1k in fees.

That #article also states that Flex as a #business has 1 out of 5 stars on BBB. Their customer service is damm never nonexistent.

But I think we are missing a bigger issue. #Apartments are pushing flex because they know people can not afford the rent. And because people can’t afford the rent there are more #evictions and loss of payment. So instead of lowering the rent they push flex. They want it to seem like they are helping when they are not.

Most people get evicted and the apartment never get their money. 7 years later it falls off your credit report.

So to keep people in these buildings and to keep a steady income they offer some shit like flex.

It’s #predatory and will most likely leave a #tenant in worst standing than before.

Please don’t use it."
