In many countries it would be highly illegal to cancel these contracts while continuing the business. Either liquidate the company or honor the deals. Fuck capitalism.

minus-squarex00z@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 hours agoThe people operating the company do not deserve to run it. Maybe they should declare bankruptcy and let somebody who will honor the contracts buy it. Allowing this kind of anti-consumer behaviour just allows them to juggle the company around to get out of contracts.

minus-squarex00z@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 hours agoYes I think they should just honor the contracts and make a tiny bit less profit. They could even just add some sane limits if those were not present yet.
