@officialGO2bank For anyone looking this up to see if this is a good bank, it’s not. Cannot reach a person to resolve a fraudulent issue.

@lana__tife @officialGO2bank Lie. This email does not work.

[Mercer Co. News @MercerCoNews]

@officialGO2bank Anyone else think GO2bank must be a scam? Why else can you not reach a live person? FAIL

[Mercer Co. News @MercerCoNews]

@officialGO2bank I am absolutely furious with this institution. I am unable to reach a live person. Fraudulent account opened in my name - I am NOT logging in, and yet there’s no way to speak to someone directly to fix this. AVOID this place like the plague. 😡

@MarkZuckerNet Have you tried turning off your computer, waiting 10 seconds, and restarting? #facebookdown2024

@caseysgenstore It’s frustrating when we can drive 10mi and pay 10cents or more less per gal. For most, it’s done in tandem with other errands, so it’s not out of the way. We would all appreciate a more regional-minded competitive pricing - keeping dollars in our own town.

[Mercer Co. News @MercerCoNews]

Dear @caseysgenstore, unleaded gas at your store in Aledo, IL is $5.29. Just down the road in Milan,IL it’s $4.94… many nearby Townes are cheaper as well.

Can you explain to your loyal customers the reason behind the difference in cost?

It’s tanking.

This is the type of story that a newspaper in Aledo (Illinois) should cover. But the Aledo Times Record has no staff. @Gannett simply does not care about local journalism despite Mike Reed and @mwadsworth saying it does. "Staff directory" on https://t.co/dj5TKFMSQN is a joke.

[Mercer Co. News @MercerCoNews]

@SPIMediaGuild @Gannett @mwadsworth I’m the last reporter to cover local news in print for the Aledo Times Record, as an ind journalist. I stopped submitting news to them as the pay decreased and the responsibilities were continually heaped on the remaining few. It wasn’t worth the pennies. Sad

@tsidpod @emosnotdead That is sad. Sad for you. And me… The closet emo wife. @Mattcutshall … hey man, let me know if something changes. Discrimination makes me cry. (Mission accomplished? #longliveemo )

@tsidpod @Popeyes As the driver in that drive-thru, and instigator of the visit, I conquer with this message. (To be fair tho, I didn’t have the sweaty pineapple sauce.) It’s hard to know when you should leave a drive thru… after 15 min? But you’ve invested so much time!

[Mercer Co. News @MercerCoNews]

@dramerling Just listened to both hours, love @HighersideChats ! Thank you for all you’re doing. I CANNOT WAIT to have access to private practice docs without pharma intervention. 🙌
