If only companies could stop doing stupid things so that they didnt have to "back down" all the time.

They push the stupid ahead two steps, then back down one step so people feel relief. Then they repeat.

They want 30, so they threaten with 100 and after the complaints reduce to 50. Then they repeat. And people still thanks them.
