Also, I want to mention that @AIGinsurance @ExpediaCA sends you this email *after* you purchased your ticket.

[Anna's Appetite @annasappetite]

Did you notice when you check out that insurance policy, it mentioned anything about age exclusion? No? Yeah, I didn’t see anything about that. Well friends, there’s an age exclusion.

#traveltip if you are a senior, do not purchase travel insurance through @expedia @ExpediaCA . It doesn’t mention it when you purchase your ticket, but it doesn’t cover you. It’s a money grab, it’s theft, and it’s fraud. #expedia

PSA: @ExpediaCA likes to trick people who are excluded from insurance coverage to buy insurance. #expediastory #storytime
Purchased a next-day flight for my parents to go to YWG-BKK for my Uncle’s funeral. Got them biz class b/c they’re nervous about crowds & covid.

[Anna's Appetite @annasappetite]

So circling back to the bigger question. @ExpediaCA sells insurance to people who are excluded due to age, but doesn’t mention it at time of purchase. Does that mean they’re making millions on this add-on that doesn’t do anything? Technically, there’s no service.

Mariupol. Direct strike of Russian troops at the maternity hospital. People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity! How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror? Close the sky right now! Stop the killings! You have power but you seem to be losing humanity.

If you think Putin’s invasion of Ukraine seems so cruel, unnecessary and pointless, let me tell you how Syria started.

A few kids in Dara’a sprayed anti-Assad graffiti on a high school wall. 15 kids were arrested, beaten, tortured, had their fingernails ripped out.

Russian army is firing from all sides upon Zaporizhzhia NPP, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Fire has already broke out. If it blows up, it will be 10 times larger than Chornobyl! Russians must IMMEDIATELY cease the fire, allow firefighters, establish a security zone!

⚡️Canada sanctions 10 people in Russia’s energy sector, offers further support to Ukraine.

Sanctioned individuals included people from two Russian energy companies, Rosneft and Gazprom.

[Chrystia Freeland @cafreeland]

Canada strongly supports removing Russian banks from SWIFT and targeting and restricting Putin’s war chest - the reserves of the Russian Central Bank. President Putin’s invasion cannot be allowed to succeed. We stand with the brave people of Ukraine.

Why @cafreeland is my new hero and why she is about to be yours as well.

I have stayed very close to Martin Sheil, retired IRS criminal investigator, during our war and here is his latest:
