It will only affect customers who are using an "extraordinary" amount of data, which the company has defined as a customer exceeding 100GB every month on a single device. Think about it from their perspective, these people are using tons of VZ's resources at the unlimited plan cost of 49.99. By comparison, VZ's 100GB plan, which is designed to be shared across multiple devices, costs 450 per month.
It makes business sense, and will only affect a very small number of people that apparently can't figure out how to use WIFI.

@devyn so since they're a cruelty free brand are all of their employees also vegetarians? I'll answer my own question, they're probably not all vegetarians. So this company is fine with the killing and consumption of animals, just not when one of their employees does the killing. The fact that it's a cruelty free brand should not matter at all.

The USA's contribution to the war effort was highly significant and inarguably ranks among the top 4 efforts most influential to the outcome of the war in Europe, and higher in the Pacific.

... Using the PCE, growth in total compensation of employees increases from more than 45% to over 87%. And all of this still before we factor in purchasing power! According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, spending by households on many of life's "basics"—food at home, automobiles, clothing and footwear, household furnishings and equipment, and housing and utilities—fell from 53% of disposable income in 1950 to 44% in 1970 to 32% today.

Here's an answer regarding the minimum wage: The assertion that the minimum wage hasn’t kept pace with inflation is technically true, but only when adjusted for inflation using the CPI, regarding average hourly wage, and only because the minimum wage doesn’t include fringe benefits. Average hourly wages adjusted for inflation via CPI have only increased 5.58% since 1964. However, there are several problems with this conclusion: CPI notoriously overstates inflation, which understates growth of real wages, there are some other more technical problems with it I can go into if you want. Instead of adjusting via CPI, we should adjust via the Fed preferred and more appropriate PCE index. This adjustment raises growth in wages from 5.58% to more than 35%. In addition to this growth in wages, over the last few decades, employees have been receiving an increasingly larger portion of their overall compensation via benefits like health care, paid vacation, and hour flexibility...

I actually have the sources saved, so I'll save you the trouble! OECD min wage: https://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=RMW (change pay period to hourly, then sort 2015 in descending order). Wikipedia min wage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_country (sort in descending order by hourly PPP). Minimum wage by state: http://www.raisetheminimumwage.com/pages/minimum-wage-state. Purchasing power: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/rankings_by_country.jsp. Average income after taxes and transfers and average net household wealth: http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/topics/income/.
I'll respond to the points you raised when I have some time!

Oh, I thought you were talking about government censorship. Publishers don't really censor things though, they just chose not to publish something, which isn't a big deal because people can self publish ebooks.

Most companies laying off people are undergoing massive change, or their businesses are suffering greatly, it’s adapt or die. People wouldn’t be forced to work 29 hours or less if the ACA had used the traditional 40 hour/week definition. Are you against schools and municipalities cutting hours too? The belief that U.S. employees are paid peanuts is absurd. Our minimum wage ranks 11th among OECD nations, and wikipedia ranks it 15th out of 154 countries. Keep in mind that’s just the ranking of our federal minimum wage, 30 states have instituted higher wages. While our nominal minimum wage may seem low, our purchasing power is 10th globally. Further, at $41,071, the U.S. boasts the world’s highest average income after taxes and transfers, and the highest net household wealth at $163,268. Luxembourg was second on income at $40,914, Switzerland was second on wealth at $120,265. Would you like me to go into why you’re wrong about profit maximization of should I stop there?

What books? I'm not trying to put you on the spot, legitimately curious.

... A high minimum wages is the direct result of a country being a good place for business. Look at what Ireland did in the 90s, look at the Brazil, China, India, and Russia have done, look at what's happening in sub-Saharan Africa.

That's cute, but in the real world, facts back me up. In 2015, 8 of the 10 countries with the highest national minimum wage ranked ahead of America on Forbes “Best Countries for Business” list. Further, Scandinavian countries such as Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland rank in the top 10 for business, and are known for paying relatively high wages despite the fact that they have no statutory minimum wage.
