Oh no now I’m getting spammy emails from people pretending to be kraken guessing at my account 🤦‍♂️

[Handa @ananthanda]

@krakenfx My elderly parents were scammed, and Kraken has now locked access to funds they urgently need returned to a retirement account before a 60-day deadline. Support keeps saying “watch for an email,” then goes silent for days. Please escalate immediately. #crypto

[Handa @ananthanda]

@krakensupport Not sure if this would be different

[Handa @ananthanda]

@krakensupport Thanks John - this feels human 🙏 Unfortunately we’ve had ticket numbers for days and filed internally from both of their Kraken accounts. I am happy to DM you ticket numbers (let me know). We’ve tried escalating with phone support several times and get no follow response.

[Handa @ananthanda]

@dollie_fatiema Not yet :( some was sent to wallets that are not easily recoverable, the rest is locked in the exchange due to fraud on the account (my parents were being guided by scammers on how to drain retirement funds). We urgently need it or the tax bill will bigger than the amount stolen.

[Handa @ananthanda]

@dollie_fatiema Yes definitely experiencing this.

[Handa @ananthanda]

@krakensupport @arjunsethi @jespow @davidripley this is an enormous amount of money for them and their life’s savings. Can you please help them out?

@signulll That’s the idea behind the product marketing/product management combined role, as well as making sure the CEO is involved in both functions. The biggest shortfall is when marketing is not at the conception of the product.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.

It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane

It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.

Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?

Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.

Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

If we fined insurers and providers $100 every time they over-billed, incorrectly denied care or misrepresented any amount of patient out of pocket, we could pay of the national debt

They play on the fear and information asymmetry that exists in healthcare

Break them up. Make them divest non insurance companies. And when we are done with the insurance companies , we go to the hospitals and then to the pharma wholesalers. Break em up. Make the markets efficient again.

@kanishkvashisht Maybe u should start a podcast to better share this opinion. I’ll subscribe!

The key study used by infamous and disgraced Stanford ed professor Jo Boaler to justify removing Algebra from public middle schools has been exposed as invalid

There’s nothing honest about academics who promote false studies to take away educations from public school kids.

Wild that both sides of the political spectrum agree that PBMs should basically not exist and are just vampires on Americans, yet they continue to persist and do just fine for themselves. Why can’t we solve obvious problems like this as a society? #PBMReform

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I know we are on the same side when it comes to PBMs. The big brands are more afraid of PBMs than what your father will do to them. They have been told if they work with @costplusdrugs, which would get low prices to patients, thePBMs will remove them from formularies, costing them 10s of billions of $.

The big PBMs control 95 pct of commercial rebates. It's insane and not an open market.

We are ready to hit those MFN prices

Can we all agree that @DanielLurie is crushing it?!? I am sure the city will be ok even if businesses post their name in their window without a permit. #SanFrancisco

[Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 @DanielLurie]

Small businesses and homeowners in San Francisco: permitting is about to get easier.

Today, we announced reforms and legislation that will make permitting faster, simpler, and more transparent.

These ordinances will cut red tape, save time and money, and finally make our permitting system work for the people it’s supposed to serve.

Here are some examples of what this means in practice:

➡️ No more permits for sidewalk tables and chairs—putting $2,500 back in the pockets of small businesses and saving them valuable time.
➡️ No more permits and fees to put your business name in your store window or paint it on your storefront.
➡️ No more trips to the Permit Center to have candles on your restaurant’s table.
➡️ No more rigid rules about what your security gate must look like so businesses have more options to secure their storefronts.
➡️ No more long waits or costly reviews for straightforward improvements to your home, like replacing a back deck.
➡️ And we’re getting rid of outdated rules to give downtown businesses more flexibility with how to use their ground-floor spaces—because if adding childcare centers and gyms will help bring companies and employees back downtown, we should support it.

In addition, every city department involved in permitting will track timelines and publish them online. We’re building one system—simple, accessible, and focused on the customer.

And we’re not done.

In the coming months, we’ll roll out a consolidated permit application and bring more of the process fully online.

When we make it easier to open a business, improve a home, or invest in our city—we don’t just support individual success. We fuel our city’s economic recovery.

We attract more customers, more residents, more small business owners—and with them, the revenue and energy that San Francisco needs to thrive.

@knshkvshsht Can you provide more context on this comment?

[Handa @ananthanda]

I’m unable to come to terms with the fact that everyone isn’t talking about this right now. Why isn’t school and work cancelled? How can people think about anything else?

Rest in Peace President Carter.

[Handa @ananthanda]

I’m actually owed money based on my early lease return, and the team has not been timely on getting back, while automated billing is hounding me with texts and emails. You should make this right.

[Handa @ananthanda]

@elonmusk I love my @Tesla and what the app lets me do for scheduling repairs, etc.

My experience with humans outside of sales has been horrible. They charged me $350 on my lease return for ‘aftermarket tinting’ based on a photo, and continue to bill me erroneously for weeks.
