IMO, Lina Khan was maybe the best appointment of the Biden presidency and as FTC chair, pushed hard for consumers, even for unlikely winnable battles. Unfortunately the click-to-cancel ^[1] rule was struck down by the Court of Appeals, but I think if she were still in that position she’d fight the ruling. You’re right that the legislature needs to do their job and formally outlaw these practices, rather than having this be brought up by the FTC and struck down on a procedural matter.

What info are y’all giving away when signing up for a gym membership where it could even go to collections? Is this for an annual contract? If you’re not on a contract and rack up unpaid months, it seems unlikely to me. Especially for a physical business where a late payment of $20 would deny you entry until you pay. I guess states with poor consumer protection laws this can happen if you sign up for a year or more and don’t pay I guess?

On three separate occasions over the course of many years, I ran into an issue and searched Stack Overflow for anyone else having the same problem.

I watched the broadcast TV show leading up to the movie, and the behind the scene of how they pulled off Museum Heist was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to watch the movie.
