Really stoked to come across this post and others by @tpinsights today. Keep that visibility data coming!

Nearly 150 yrs ago, Frederick Douglass stated "Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, & where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe."

... is this what travelers should expect from #CustomerService during a trying time? I don’t like to call you out on social media, but I have tried the website, request forms and 4 phone calls to customer service. I have my case numbers and notes. What else can I do? Help please!

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

@AerLingus customer service has literally stolen money spent on airfare away from me. After seeking help on the phone with what to do over a cancelled tour of #Ireland, a manager, Carol, came on, belligerently dismissed my concerns, gave me an ultimatum, and then hung up on me...

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

...Everything crazy, but still, it was an unsettling experience. They literally instructed me to purchase a second fare to get a refund, and then proceeded to hold my two fares hostage against each other, forcing me to chose one of two unacceptable options. @AerLingus...

#thoughtoftheday... #pentupparenting — Is the real rush on hospitals going to be this coming Christmas? You know, in nine or ten months when America experiences the biggest spike in babies being born since... 🤷‍♂️? Is it #workfromhome time, or #workitathome time? #COVID19

Very few choices a person makes are for life, and though they may not make any sense to some, it is the persistence… https://t.co/sPlINPLiTi

@mtkirkley @GiveGab I mean, over simplified math and reasoning here.... but we speculated that there was at least an hours worth of down time on the #extragive site. So, $10,000,000 divided by 24 is $416,666.67. I wonder what the #givegab #EULA has to say about performance? Think there’s a warranty?

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

I can’t help but wonder how many Lanc based non profit organizations participating in the #extragive are missing out on donations because @GiveGab can’t keep a website up in an age of auto scaling #amazonwebservices? This is literally what they do for a living. Wtf. just... how?

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

@mtkirkley @GiveGab Even an unprecedented amount of load can be anticipated and tested for. Scaling clusters make this a non issue. I can only imagine that their engineers turn over too frequently and can’t absorb the technical debt, or that they are attached to a stack and don’t want to modernize.

@mikeroweworks My buddies and I are having a debate over whether the American construction worker will ever drive a #CYBRTRCK. You’re the only person other than @joerogan who can settle this. What do you think?

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

@AvinNewswanger So what if I do? And so what if I don’t? Sometimes I’ll share it and sometimes I won’t. Would you, could you, might you think that Twitter is the forum for such important things? No no silly Avin, this just is not so, if you’re on a #stonehunt, oh the places you’ll go. So... GO!

Proud to be here today at the 2nd annual @PALaborIndustry Apprenticeship Summit.

Apprenticeships transform lives. Workers can earn a salary while learning the in-demand skills they need for good careers.

My goal is to double the number of registered apprentices in PA by 2025.

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

Excited to be part of a #stemmixer panel presentation at @CSIU16 today! Happy for the chance to preach the good news about @STEMecosystems and #techapprenticeships alongside my good buddy @QuercusPrinus!

[Joel Walker @JoelTweets]

@a_straz But really, would it be funnier? Or more funny?
