"We should beware of the demagogs who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends -- weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world -- all while cynically waving the American flag."

[Chris Hobbs @cghobbs]

"We too often talk about trade while using the vocabulary of war. In war, for one side to win, the other must lose. But commerce is not warfare. Trade is an economic alliance that benefits both countries. There are no losers, only winners." Ronald Reagan, 11/26/1988

@HiltonHotels 80 minutes of "an advance purchase specialist will be with you momentarily." To her credit, the agent that ultimately assisted me was fantastic. But get her some help, @HiltonHotels!

[Chris Hobbs @cghobbs]

.@HiltonHotels Nothing says we love our customers quite like leaving them on hold for 70 minutes (and counting). Your "Advance Purchase" customer service could use some work...

@ProjectLincoln @Delta @CocaCola @HomeDepot Timely tweet, @ProjectLincoln - I had ordered a $1K dishwasher from @HomeDepot this morning. Just cancelled, and ordered from @Lowes instead. Choices have consequences.

@jordansissel @shar1z Is this why my RSS reader didn't come to life this year with new posts from https://t.co/TxMvDmKDor? If so, boo! Been reading since the first sysadvent in 2008! I'm not even in sysadmin myself anymore, but I still enjoyed nerding out with it.

@nelsonwdvx @petersagal I know how I'm spending the next few evenings. Thanks!

[Chris Hobbs @cghobbs]

@nelsonwdvx @petersagal You're going to tease like that and not throw out some names? I'd be interested.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention yet the very likely possibility that Biden, should he win AZ, NV, PA and GA, ends up with 306 EC votes. Beating Trump not only in 2020 but also Trump's 304 EC votes in 2016.
