Ontario Premier Doug Ford unveils a big Lake Ontario sign along the lake's shoreline in response to President Trump's executive order to rename it Lake America.
A woman had a Prime account for 7 years.
She paid $139/year for Prime. Ordered constantly. Never once checked a settings page beyond her address book.
Her brother — a former Amazon operations manager — sat down at her laptop one evening and changed 9 things in 20 minutes.
Her Subscribe & Save orders stopped duplicating. A $340 return she'd forgotten about got refunded. Her recommendations stopped showing baby products for a baby that's now 6. A coupon page she never knew existed saved her $60 on the spot.
She said: "I've been on Amazon since 2017 and never seen half of this."
He said: "Nobody has. Amazon doesn't hide these on purpose to be evil — it just has zero incentive to point you toward the settings that save you money instead of spend it."
Here's everything he changed 🧵
@jen_keesmaat I couldn't agree with you more, Jennifer. The Waterfront is a Toronto jewel enjoyed by millions. The expansion of Billy Bishop would be short-sighted indeed and completely unnecessary given accessibility to Pearson
I worked on this file.
From one former spokesperson to another. With affection. And a red pen.
Fact check time.
Canada does not control what crosses the bridge. Customs and border enforcement are exercised by each country on its own side. Like every other border crossing on Earth. This is not a novelty. It is the border.
Canada does not own the land on both sides. Canada owns the Canadian side. The State of Michigan owns the U.S. side. That is literally the definition of a border.
The bridge was built with American labor. Thousands of American workers. Billions added to Michigan’s GDP. American steel was used. This is not a hypothetical. It is documented. Repeatedly.
Ownership. There is no single owner of “the bridge” in the way this is being framed. Each country owns and controls its side. Again. Border. That was the deal. Signed. Ratified. Applauded.
Economic benefits. The U.S. already gets them. Jobs. GDP. Trade flow. Regional growth. That is what a functioning border crossing does.
And just for the record. The President himself praised the project in 2017 and called for its expeditious completion. On paper. In a joint statement. With Canada.
You can change your mind. You can change your politics. You can even change your story.
But you cannot polish a turd.
We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️
