@SamRo Deja vu: in the 70s the news was how PhD's were taking jobs as Carpenters and plumbers because those jobs paid so much more, and also we're more available than jobs for PhDs

@Gabe_Bernarde Had this happen once (but wasn’t AmEx). Got a call about 10 min after the card was repeatedly declined. “Didn’t you get our email?” No, I didn’t. Turns out the card had been canceled for fraudulent activity.
