A woman paid for Amazon Prime for 5 years before she realized she was using it wrong.
She'd ordered hundreds of packages. Watched a few shows on Prime Video. Never once looked past the "Buy Now" button.
Her cousin — who worked Amazon customer service for 3 years — was staying over for the holidays and watched her order a phone charger at full price.
She finally said: "Wait — can I see your account for a second? You're missing 9 things that come with the Prime you're already paying for. Amazon doesn't advertise most of these. They'd rather you not use them."
She changed 9 things in 10 minutes.
She saved $340 that month. Got a package a day early. Found $1,200 worth of stuff she already owned buried in a benefit she'd never opened.
Here's everything her cousin showed her:
This is a message for all towing in Philadelphia. Our Industry was not turned down; we were never asked. We are not a union; that is why we don't count.
Under a properly managed program, the salvage company could pay towing companies approximately $200 per vehicle. With an estimated 40,000 abandoned vehicles throughout Philadelphia, that would generate $8 million in towing revenue.
The City of Philadelphia could also receive a portion of the proceeds. For example, Philadelphia's coffers could receive $3 million, while the remaining $5 million could be divided among ten participating towing companies. That would allow each company to gross approximately $500,000 while helping rid neighborhoods of abandoned vehicles that attract crime, vandalism, and blight.
This is how revenue is generated without raising taxes—you find solutions, create partnerships, and put unused assets to work. This is one example of why Philadelphia needs council members who understand economics, business operations, and revenue generation. Running a city the size of Philadelphia requires more than political experience; it requires an understanding of how businesses operate, how revenue is created, and how budgets are managed.
Philadelphia has largely been under Democratic control for decades. If the Democratic machine has not been able to solve many of the city's long-standing problems over the last 75 years, then perhaps it is time to consider something different. If you have never tried the red machine, how do you know it will not work? New ideas and different approaches should not be feared—they should be considered and judged on results.
This is also why I believe council members should have a strong background in economics, budgeting, and business management. They should be encouraged to take business and economic courses through institutions such as The Wharton School and understand what it takes to run an organization, create revenue, control expenses, and make difficult financial decisions.
Philadelphia does not need more taxes. Philadelphia needs leaders who know how to grow revenue, support businesses, eliminate waste, and manage taxpayer dollars responsibly. Term limits, fresh perspectives, and leaders with real-world business experience would be a good place to start.
VERY SAD NEWS !!!!
This is so disappointing.
CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black," the African-American version of "Snow White" has been cancelled.
All of the seven dwarfs:
Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive- By, Homeboy, and Shank have refused to sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" because they say it offends black prostitutes.
They also say there ain't no way in hell they're gonna sing, “It's off to work we go.”
JUST IN: Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark reportedly warned new recruits to “get hobbies that aren’t computers,” saying the company is building a “superhuman coder with nation-state hacking capabilities.”
Alright Degenerates!
Who’s the most OVERRATED guitarist of all time?
I’ll start it off, Edge.
That dudes delay pedal has worked more overtime than half the road crews in Rock History!
Let’s hear it, you filthy animals!!
It ain’t easy Being Sleazy!

In my opinion guitar oriented riff rock lost dominance when the general public stopped being able to decipher what was real or not. ( or at least highly manipulated in protools or post.) In the case of Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, EVH, Keith Richards, ect ect the listener could put the song on, close their eyes, and instantly imagine an engineer hitting record and those guys actually playing that shit until they got it right. It's a binary thing that humans tend to respond well to. Authenticity and realness. Great article though. 😎👍
The Philadelphia Eagles have had success with UDFAs. Here are 3 from the 2026 class that could contribute this season.
Rocco Underwood, LS, Florida
Rocco may have a clearer path than most UDFAs simply because there’s an immediate opening at long snapper. With size, athleticism, and a real chance to compete for the job, this signing makes a lot of sense.
Jaeden Roberts, IOL, Alabama
Roberts has the size and power, and is an intriguing signing by Philadelphia. He plays with the kind of physical temperament the Eagles covet inside, and he has a real chance to not only make the practice squad, but the 53-man roster.
Dae’Quan Wright, TE, Ole Miss
Dae’Quan gives the Eagles another athletic pass-catching option at tight end, with the ability to stretch the field and create after the catch. If his blocking continues to develop, there’s enough upside here to make noise this summer. Wright’s 16.3 yards per reception was ranked among the best in the 2026 tight end class.
Whether its another helmet pulled off, obvious sucker punch (upper-cut) on Sanheim, Malkin backhanding puck into Flyers bench & almost hitting Jaroslav Svejkovsky square in face... enough is enough, especially with this national narrative Flyers are dirtier team #IgniteTheOrange
The Phillies still owe Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, JT Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber, Taijuan Walker, and Nick Castellanos $810 million dollars if you include this year.
Every player is 33-years-old or older.
Dave Dombrowski.
Yes Tocchet deserves criticism. Yes, the team is in the playoffs. This team is also:
- 32nd in PP %
- 22nd in PK %
- 23rd in Regulation Wins
- 24th in GF per Game
- 28th in Shots per Game
This is not sustainable for winning hockey. His Canucks tenure proves it. #LetsGoFlyers
The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph.
Both pilots are dead.
Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years.
A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when.
The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day.
The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country.
Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years.
Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday.
The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement.
The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision.
The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.”
One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.
