A Step in the Right Direction

f I'm Superman, then UPS is Lex Luthor and Charter is General Zod who, I now admit, is a first-rate Superman villain. Anyway, yeah, UPS and General Zod. Today I was pleased to learn that Charter Communications has filed for bankruptcy.

Yeah, sure, the article makes it sound like it's a friendly bankruptcy or whatever, and Charter's not gonna start liquidating its assets or anything, but it's something. I mean, yeah, it's not as awesome as tricking General Zod and making him think that I've lost my powers when in fact it's him that was exposed to the anti-power energy, then kneeling before him, then breaking his frail, non-superhuman hand, but it's something.

If nothing else, it's a moral victory.

I'd like to think that this means that Charter will get its head out of its ass and start offering high-quality customer service--or, you know, any at all--but I know it won't. Charter will survive and will continue to be the most worthless company to deal with. Most worthless after UPS, that is.
