@CirroEnergyTX I have been out of Electricity for 12 hours because the mess your folks made setting up a new connection. Spoke with numerous “supervisors”. Is this really your quality of service? I am already regretting my decision to go with Cirro.

One of the problems associated w/wealth is the expectation gap. At a maximally luxurious resort, a diluted espresso or delayed room service can make you frustrated. At a Hampton Inn, almost nothing irritates you.
Generalize the differential between expectation & delivery.

Quality ad showed up on my Twitter feed. I certainly do not follow any conservative pundit on Twitter. So I assume Twitter just wants me to cry.

I tried to explain the butterfly effect to the 12 year old. She said "that's creepy", turned around, and walked off.
