@aherscowitz just ran into your ODI colleagues in Versailles restaurant Miami. Small world.

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

Plants often excrete poison to prevent insects from attacking them. The use of poison as protection is about as natural as it gets. That does NOT imply we should abandon regulations, but to wholesale disallow CPP because it’s “unnatural” fails to understand biology.

Starvation is always an alternative Dr. Jane Goodall!

@GHGGuru This is something the #AFIA has explained along with industry. I remember this very debate back in Doha. Animal agriculture reduces emissions by focusing on poor practices of poor countries far more than trying to change diets or even last mile waste. Productivity and genetics

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

@pizzapicklespur @GHGGuru @smiddendorp22 FAO is a great organization. Crop protection products will always have some risk. Glyphosate is, far and away, the low risk option. So many chemicals I would worry about way before this one (like forevers). GMOs are eaten by animals typically not people. Zero harm.

@jimkottmeyer Nicely done. But it’s become a bit of an expectation that @gpsimpact clients outperform expectations by now. Still, particularly in KY (a good ag State) this one means quite a bit to the rural community.

[Roy Temple @roytemple]

Very proud that @gpsimpact got to be part of the @AndyBeshearKY team.

@Williamsonoma pathetic to the point of a cause of action. You charge me for setup of a grill then drop it off in my driveway (blocking car) and have the audacity to tell me they shouldn’t have set it up for in home setup. No one will even come move this huge package. Stuck!

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

What is the point of #hiltonlifetimediamond is literally 30+ people get rooms before you ready AFTER management goofs and forces you to change room when you extend your stay? #savannahdoubletree management needs a refresher course. So sad given I spend 200+ nights w you.

@JoeWBowles Any dairyman knows the answer is cheese!

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

Dear #KLM why is it I can find my luggage and you can’t even go look for it? It hasn’t moved in 24+ hrs. It isn’t like this wasn’t shown to you the minute the bag didn’t arrive. Sure it’s hard to find lost luggage but ummm it’s right here. Go get it plz. It’s not hard to help.

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

I’ll pay double to fly on a business friendly #AmericanAirlines than risk #KLM again. #Delta needs to pick better partners. Hey #AmericanAirlines want to help an old friend find a bag that is obvious where it is (Air Tagged) in #KLM’s main airport in Amsterdam? Bet you will 1st

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

Difference between #AmericanAirlines and #KLM. American loses a bag, they do what it takes to find it. When #klmisajoke loses a bag with an AirTag identifying exactly where it is, they are too lazy to care. There is a reason I fly #American and #OneWorld for 250k+ miles/yr.

@BrentBeshore Your wallet is a good start ;).

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

@RSherman_25 You really think he was being arrogant vs respectful? I got the impression he holds you as the standard he wants to beat. Will he? Who knows? But at least he got the standard right!

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

@PlayStation I just had support tell me that I may not have access to a game I bought for a year until a different subscription runs out. How does that even make sense to be the answer to a customer? Just wait a year? Oddest CX response this ex CCO ever heard. Baffled

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

@OfficialFBMA @jimmyjohns They certainly wed to take this seriously but it doesn’t per se imply racism across a chain or even a franchisee. And it doesn’t matter if the owner supports Trump or does not. Any QSR is going to have a few idiots. Don’t cancel JJ just over a single video.

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

@LuzPenaABC7 @abc7newsbayarea Why focus on the woman versus the need to address the fundamental problem? Best to show the woman some mercy as we all have done something we are glad never was public. The issue is how do we get people not to jump the gun on what they think they saw?

[Rich Kottmeyer @richkottmeyer]

Very proud of my friends at @BordenDairy for their spectacular award through the USDA CFAP program. Amazing how much good this dairy will be able to do for those most in need. Elsie has good reason to be smiling.

Milk is just about the perfect protein. #raiseaglass #NationalMilkDay proud to be helping the industry with my FTI colleagues. So enjoy a glass especially if you are iced in today.

[Sonny Perdue @SonnyPerdue]

Let’s raise a glass today to celebrate the tremendous work ethic, ingenuity, and determination of America’s milk producers.🥛#RaiseaGlass #NationalMilkDay
