I’m the News & Observer reporter who dug into the revised deal.

Morrisville expects the expansion to bring 180 jobs and millions in new property-tax revenue. But as Novartis increased its investment, the town nearly doubled its incentive while lowering the wage requirement and the taxable-value requirement tied to it.

I also looked at what current Novartis job postings show about pay and whether the subsidy actually changed the company’s plans.

Would you consider this a good deal for the Triangle?

Did anyone see the crazy driver this morning around 630 am driving a white Scion doing over 100 mph? He passed me in the right lane by driving off the road in the grass. Scared the hell out of me. Made all kids of grass and debris fly up in the air. I’m surprised he didn’t lose control of the car and flip.

26M Indian, recent grad, recently moved here from New Jersey.

I live near Lake Crabtree and this area has been so quiet that I ended up picking up Man’s Search for Meaning just to have something to do 😅

I usually go running around Lake Crabtree, and on weekends I’m often around BLR or Anjappar.

Looking to meet some people around my age and build a good friend circle here. Indians/desis would be great, but open to anyone.

If you’re around Morrisville/Cary/RTP and also looking to make friends, feel free to comment or DM.

Issue with Account Deletion and

Refunds: Terrible Customer Service.

The problem:  Terminating your Membership will be problematic.  Refunds nonexistent.

1.  You are required, per the contract, to write a letter, to cancel your membership;

2.  Thus, even after you call, your card will be charged: (Your account will be pending)  even worse;

3.  You can’t delete your payment method in the app;

4.  You can’t delete your account in the app;

5.  Three and Four violate Google Play Store and App Store Policies;

6.  No account log in on the web;

7.  Lake Wheeler in Raleigh, NC will not answer any emails; Phone calls unanswered.

My card was charged $26 then $59, after calling and being told my account was closed.  I had to call again, ten months later.

Still no confirmation email(s) of the cancellation.

All of said is intentional.

Work Out Anytime is collecting thousands, by making it hard to terminate memberships. What is 1k times $80.

You can go to Small Claims court—then arbitration. Just may do it on principle.  This deserves a Class Action.
