  My fridge is a GE and, like Ford, it’ll be the last time I even consider the brand. Our water filters require a QR tag in a specific location to work so I just held on to the last legit one we bought and taped it to the inside of the canister area. It constantly says the filter is over 99-days old but I can now get two off-brand filters for less than a single GE filter. Fuck I hate capitalism.

    Is it even capitalism at this point and not extortion?

      Is there really that much of a difference?
