Remember if your flight gets cancelled most airports have a secret fleet of backup planes with lots of seats but they’re only available if you’re mean enough to low-level employees.

Who else thinks @Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte would taste better if the company stopped union busting?

@TorontoTeacherX Nope. You’re not accounting for investment risk or longevity risk, neither of which members of DB plans have to shoulder. OTPP is a great plan, but the average worker cannot 💫 personal finance 💫 their way into anything comparable. Organize your workplace & bargain for pensions!

@ShadeJSE Have family/friends read random sentences out loud and use your index to find the page they're on. Update your index as necessary. Skip all tax sections. Try timed practice tests. Take weekends off!

@Rainesford Rewards system for speaking French: rate yourself out of 3 each day, but classmates can challenge you if they heard you speak Eng. If you had 12+ pts by Fri, you got a frog sticker: save or trade to get out of hmwk. At end of year, students got prizes in order of # of frogs.

Remember: @wirecutterunion is on strike, and have asked folks not to click on any Wirecutter links this weekend. They’re fighting for a fair wage and a union contract, and @nytimes is dragging its well-shod feet. No contract, no clicks! Don’t cross the digital picket line!
