I feel like the DOD is playing Jedi mind tricks with us about the spy balloon. “This is not the spy balloon you are looking for. “

This is solid gold advice that I wish I could print on T-shirts & give as presents. Every business wants to be on a monthly subscription model that’s impossible to cancel online. Just reset billing address to CA and, b/c of state law, a one-click cancellation button will pop up. https://twitter.com/ryan_hassett/status/1616638127006679041

“I'm going to mention again that my solution to this is to set my billing address to Howard Jarvis's old home at 515 N Crescent Heights Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048, and, thanks to California's automatic renewal law (ARL), a cancellation button magically appears.”

WTF @nytimes
Your current subscription rate will come to an end, but your support remains as vital as ever. Your new rate will be $28.00 every four weeks, an increase of $14.00 over your current rate of $14.00. Seriously, you are doubling the subscription price?!?!?

As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳

Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.

In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.

Every day the New York Times tries to convince me to read an article in their app instead of on the web because it is “better in the app.”

I downloaded the app to see why it is better. It appears to be an embedded web view showing the same article. If anything, it loads slower.

Pushing people to native apps for things that the web is great at is so stupid.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Pepsi’s financial chief, Hugh Johnston, recently told investors on an earnings call, we’re “capable of taking whatever pricing we need.”

Corporate executives have admitted they are jacking up prices, yet Republicans in Congress continue to blame workers.

Is the behavior for getting off airplanes where everyone waits until everyone in front of them is up and moving out unique to the US? We would all get off the plane in half the time if we just merged in and went.

McKinsey's involvement in the Saudi effort to launder their reputation through golf sponsorship is almost as predictable as Trump's involvement.

Confidential Records Show a Saudi Golf Tour Built on Far-Fetched Assumptions

McKinsey documents suggest the Saudi league is far off-track for success. Experts say the analysis shows it was never just about profits.
