@WallStreetMav In my youth that was .25 to .50, so, adjusted for inflation, that's about right. And ain't that sad.

@BobbyNSteve1 @johnkonrad @Delta HUH, based on my experience, humbly, and with all due respect, you're doing it wrong. Gotta maintain that status too bro, it's not a one and done situation. Wife knows the details, I just vacation when I am told too.

@bwjiul00 @johnkonrad @Delta Like I mentioned earlier, we run as much as we can through our card. Never paid a penny in interest, pay it off 3-4 times a week. So, if that is helping us, I may not realize how much, but we do in fact max the card benefits.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

@bwjiul00 @johnkonrad @Delta I see your point, but to maintain platinum status, you have to fly a few times a year.

@SkylarSkye3 Got 3, kitchen, garage, and a mini poolside. Always have cold drinks, ice, room for free fish, Thanksgiving leftovers, room to brine ribs, chickens and turkeys.

@LastDude99 @adamcarolla Good Luck in your quest.

@BlueBoxDave What's wrong with being a troon? Why is there a pride month if there is no pride?

[Bobby Hank @BigShade113]

@jonfavs I've been taught at drag story hour that there is nothing wrong with being a troon. What's to condemn?

@ShineDoggyDog @shaneyyricch Commie trannys aren't threatening.

In order to make miles work you have to fly frequently. My wife handles it for us, always Delta, 2-3 flights a year at least. She gets us a companion ticket a year, free upgrades done automatically (happens almost 100% of the time, sometimes 2 upgrades same ticket!), lounge access. We also run most normal expenses through a Delta SkyMiles AMEX. Works. We save the miles for first class long haul flights.

@sassylaurajo @harryjsisson Please, list the talents.

@eurofounder @The2AFan You’re not bright.

@TheoVon I tell my single brother to cruise Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

[Bobby Hank @BigShade113]

@SethDillon That’s the point, eventual state ownership.
