@awealthofcs Few are, like me, old enough to remember mortgage rates of the early 1980s. Today's high rates are nothing in comparison.

@GilmanHill Inevitably they refocus everything away from the well-being and satisfaction of the customer. I called for an appt w my long time local Optometrist (in Massachusetts) and was routed through a call center in Iowa (I asked bc the call was so strange). Now I have a new Optometrist.

@WorkElizab Just keep alienating your customers by posting rude signs. Someday you may need them back.

@StephenFleming As long as those Uber rides keep hitting Mommy and Daddy's credit cards, they'll continue taking the lazy way to wherever.

@DellaroseJacque @texasrunnerDFW This. We had a plow guy (New England) and got tired of him taking out junipers and sprinkler heads. Bought a snowblower and never looked back. Want something done right, do it yourself.

.@elonmusk is insufferable.

@Sterlin03623126 @Kristinartz Retired people don't drive? Guess I need to sell my cars. Idiot.

[Jerry Gould @JerryGould]

@Kristinartz Are they not going to consume any services paid for by taxes? There's your answer. And yes I am retired.

@Potential1983 @ABC Shareholder vermin? I guess your 401k isn't doing too well?

@RoaringHammy Buy some bonds.

@BhattiLaib9960 Theresa and Anna. But my mother was Ethel, so there's that.

@JoeSquawk Working dogs don't want to sit still!

@JoeSquawk Beautiful dogs!

@SullyCNBC It's not about gas prices. It's about convenience and supporting infrastructure. I just drove from MA to MD and back. 8 hours each way, nonstop except for 2 gas fill-ups that took about 4 mins each. I'm don't want to eat a sandwich in a nearby coffee shop. I want to go. Now.

@GuyAdami I respect that. I refuse to belong to either party. To me, "Independent" means critical thinker. Issues are separable, what's happening at any given time matters. Vote for the person, incl (maybe most of all) their character.

@sweatystartup Some HOAs are run by insufferable busybodies with nothing better to do than find fault with the most picayune things. I'm not a fan of giving people like that any power over my life.

@ChrisMartin1961 This intergenerational animosity is nothing new. Remember Hippies? God, my father hated the Hippies. And their mantra was "never trust anyone over 30." And that wad when this Boomer was a little kid. It has always been thus. I say "OK" right back.

@dollarsanddata I really liked this piece. Good perspective. Also, thanks for providing the etymology of "Luddite" - I've been (mostly jokingly) using that word for years to describe myself, without knowing the story of the weaving machines.

This is the kind of stuff Trump does that makes people not just oppose him but hate him. There was no need to say anything.

@Mr_Husky1 Mush, Husky!
