Customers are frustrated with price hikes for uplink kits they still
haven't received months after paying $100 deposits
In March, SpaceX told its customers it was raising prices because of inflation, among other things. The price of a Starlink uplink kit rose
from $500 to $550 for customers that had already paid a deposit, and
from $500 to $600 for new customers. The monthly Starlink subscription
cost climbed from $99 to $110 for all users.
Lesson here is:There's a sucker born every minute.

Today/Year ago
Mayo - $4.56/$3.77
Milk - $3.81/$3.27
Hot dogs - $4.17/$3.72
Gas - $3.45/$2.52
I guess if I don't want to be a sucker, I should stay home and eat grass
and fireant soup.
And I can't even catch a possum these days.

I don't have any of that, and Walmart doesn't sell it here. All I've got
is centipede and bahiagrass. If I'd known about this sucker business
sooner, there were fields of sour grass all around here up until a week
or two ago that I could have picked and hoarded up before the word got around.
It wasn't worth reading because no one could put their finger on
an actual scam. Here comes that "feelings" part again. They felt
scammed. They were still going through with the deal at the higher prices.

While the price of wacky grass keeps going down. You can pick up
an ounce of 25% flowers for around $30. If you're worried about
concentration you can pick up a gram of concentrates that will run over
60% for around $12.
That was the easy part. The problem I'm having is figuring out
where the scam is? Did Elon promise anyone that the prices would never
go up? If they don't like the new deal people who made a deposit can get their money back. Everyone knew what the deal was going in.
I went looking for the scam and found this article:

I don't know why they call them uplink kits. It's the down part that's important to me.

If I've got to accept feeling like a scamee to get more than 2.8 Mbps,

Amazon, SiriusXM, Publix, Harvey's, my propane provider, etc., are
scamming me, too, I guess.
