    “Grandfathered”

    You keep using that word, but I don’t think you know what it means

        Being grandfathered in actually would last forever.

        The origin is, during racist bullshit, that one of the ways they “equally” opened extremely restrictive signups to vote was that, if your grandfather could vote, you could vote without dealing with the process designed to make it impossible to actually register. Being grandfathered in would pass to subsequent generations just as easily.

      Whole damned article is a wet fart.

      … till December before the new prices would start applying to them. It seems time is up for these users now

      Possibly because we are two weeks into december?
