Gouging Customers" explains that John Normand runs some sort of
cellular service in the Bay Area and has been exploiting a loophole in
the state's communications laws to cut off service to various
customers with no warning and little justification. He's then been

paper notes that none of this is technically illegal, it is at best
"unethical." |

| Title reference: |
A play on the phrase "Carpe diem" which is Latin for
"pluck the day," meaning "enjoy the moment". It has been incorrectly
translated into English as "seize the day," but carpere means "to
pluck." This rule of life is found in the "Odes" (I, 11.8) of the
Roman poet Horace (65 - 8 BC), where it reads: Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero ("pluck the day, never trust the next") It is quoted accordingly either as a demand not to waste somebody's time with useless things, or as a justification for pleasure and joy of life with little fear for the future. |
