Well, not ALL the time. Someone (some lefty someone) cited the number of times, I think, at the time.
Think about it. Bait & switch ring a bell? Except the 2 bills *were completely unrelated*. This would be like if I were selling you. . . a radio. But before you picked it up, I took out the electronics & replaced them with with rat poison.
It’s dishonest & it’s destructive. It’s bad faith.
