I got a survey from the hotel we stayed at. Shortly after, I received an email that said, “Please kindly remember that any score below 8 is considered a zero for us, so your score is very important to our team.” Don’t send me a survey then ask me to give you high ratings you don’t deserve.

How many credit card companies have ads where one person buys something for a friend because they get cash back? Do these banks understand financial decisions. Does it make sense for you to pay 100% of the cost of an item for someone else because your financial institution will refund you 2%?

“Made with real potatoes”. Doesn’t that mean that potatoes were in the room when they were made? If I say that I baked cookies with Grandma, that doesn’t mean she’s an ingredient.

There’s an obvious fix to the “controversy” around Oklahoma’s missed field goal. They should put a crossbar over the top of the posts and require that the ball go through the hole. Better yet, make it a round hole. Kickers are too good these days. Make it tougher on them.

Today Apple Maps told us to stay on the same road for 195 miles. Made me wonder where in the world you have to be for Apple Maps to tell you to stay on your current path the longest and how far is it. I’m guessing it would be over 2,000 miles.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

I wish companies would stop lying to us. It’s not “Due to unusually high call volumes” that we have to wait on hold. It’s due to exceptionally understaffed customer service departments.

You are up to date.
