@TheSavBananas so much for #FansFirst. Bananas are coming to my town? exciting. oh, scalped tickets start at $200 each + fees. if you wanted to control scalpers it’s not hard. non transferable tickets + a regulated face-value resale platform. you stick up for scalpers first

@LA28 unclear who sets the prices but for the very earliest you can buy tickets over 2 YEARS in advance, >$1000 per ticket for early round non-prime sessions makes it very clear these games are not for ordinary Americans, these are for the uber-wealthy. the American Way: YOYOMF
@FTC add @Cinemark to your list of flagrant violators of the Click-to-Cancel law. one click to join their movie club, no option to cancel online, infinite hold times when you try to call them, you can submit a web form that is generic customer service and gets no response
@Cinemark shame on you for playing the dirty game that so many do of making it impossible to cancel the movie club. no way to do it on website, infinite hold time when you call. good way to make sure customers hate you. sign up in one click, hours of pain to cancel.
@TheStalwart great that you had Ben & David on. Acquired is amazing. i wish you’d take one lesson from them: your ads are part of your brand whether you like it or not. i could be so happy to never again hear the shrill volume boosted “Old Trading Walks Into a Bar!!!!”.
@FLOTUS It’s so hard to accept our human mortality but you’re not doing the love of your life any favors. Don’t be selfish. Help him see the graceful exit.
@GStephanopoulos don’t be soft. put Joe out of his misery while there’s still time for us to salvage this mess. give him softballs and you’re complicit in Trump II
don’t use @TaxSlayer if you have an amended return. their system has a bug and the IRS will take your payment twice, for the original amount and then again for the revised amount. they won’t help you and the IRS keeps the duplicated payment! worst tax experience ever.
@uberliner bravo. im a moderate. i used to turn first to NPR. now i hear the hourly news but otherwise can’t do the dogmatism. and being able to speak articulately in clearly understood English used to be key to being a radio voice. identity politics now trump intelligibility
@NickKristof spot on about language, only not only does it fuel the right, and alienate the non-elite, it alienates the middle of the educated elite (me). i’ve always considered myself a progressive but lately i have a hard time. sorry! “person experiencing progressiveness.”
@tedwheeler@portland_watch how’s that camping ban coming along? new “camper” right outside the front door of our music school harassing all the 8 year olds trying to carry their violins into symphony rehearsal. this is about safety. police won’t come.
@AmericanAir no staffing, no one to fix the kiosks or even load paper when they run out, line to check a bag is >1hr and out the door of the terminal. arrive 2hrs+ ahead and still miss flights. employees just shrug shoulders. #newnormal#americaisthegreatestatwhat#failedstate
@PBOTinfo instead of minimizing salination, minimize traffic fatalities. every other state uses salt more than oregon, and has since the 1940s. #priorities#saltsaveslives
