@MBonvoyAssist I think I’d rather just cancel my credit card with you and become a brand nomad. The program isn’t worth the investment anymore. Every facet of the experience has gotten worse in the last 5 years.
@MarriottBonvoy why as a lifetime platinum elite can I not book a room with points that is shown available on your site. Your platinum support line cannot help either. Don’t give the points if you don’t want them used.
@9mmsmg Patek, VC, coin flip the other two. The VC is probably “easier” to get though.
I’m a big fan of AP, just not the offshore and it certainly isn’t as classy as the other two. White gold Daytona is a few notches below the others IMHO.
@TrackPhantom@infochartingho1 You have hit upon something very important. Normal bettors cannot cancel like CAWs, they are capped at a total $ of cancelled bets in a day. Even if they weren’t, they don’t have the execution speed. Removing this one thing could rebalance the odds.
@kvallier@christopherrufo This is misguided. The time for your project was 20 years ago. The people that you are fighting have already won and will placate you while continuing on their way. Go make your presentations at Oberlein and then let us know how it works out.
@ThomasDHowes@McGillPatterson And how is your approach working? Conservatives have been mostly purged from academia. Employers are valuing the product that is produced less and less. His arguments are mostly correct and your response is “but he sends mean tweets.”
@AdamKoffler@joshsec15 In Indianapolis, $700k buys a house in one of the most desirable lake communities that is 5/4 or 4/4, 3 car garage. Easily 4,500 sqft. 20 minutes to downtown, 40 minutes to airport. 18th largest city in the country. Plenty of jobs.
I did not make my point well. If the pie grows by 50%, giving up 1% to make that happen grows your bottom line. If what you say is true (& you likely know), then it doesn’t matter. The top of the food chain will keep squeezing until it is done because the options aren’t there to grow
@TKKuegler@twoeight_racing Agreed. But the implicit bargain was at least the appearance of fairness. That now doesn’t exist with the tracks, governing bodies, or a good portion of the trainers. No one is willing to shrink their take by even 1% to make the pie larger. So it will eventually die.
@twoeight_racing@TKKuegler The numbers don’t work to make this possible for anyone that doesn’t have a breeding angle, the ability to syndicate or who can’t reduce their costs in some way. Unless you can find more people willing to consistently lose money, I’d love to hear a way to bring in more owners.
