Let us never be deceived into believing the two major parties are engaged in warfare; though they yell back and forth, it's a dance more than battle. Coordinated for our amusement and distracting us from their impotence.👎 @GOP@TheDemocrats#VoteThemAllOut2020#ChangeTheGame
@m_stevenson78 Notice the NAACP and CBC are not offering to walk away from their paychecks in protest, the kids who may only have one shot should walk away from theirs, because they say so
This is disgusting
@NAACP Sooo... can we clarify what the NAACP is doing again? It seems like the onus is being placed on kids. SMH.
Derrick Johnson is a smart brother but the org is virtually unseen right now. Youtube views are low. No press.
@todosamanaray@OleTim2@KillerMike Yeah, if someone doesnt see the impact of 8500 jobs on a community of 150K, they should excuse themselves from these convos.
🚨 TERRIFYING! Moment caught on a Ring camera shows a deranged man in a long coat crashing out asking “where is your daughter?” And threatened the man on the cam that he “will end him” if he doesn’t open the door
How would you handle this tense situation?
When I criticize Democrats, someone always says, "Well, the Republicans aren't any better."
But did the Republicans get 90% of the black vote?
If I demand that Republicans do the job the Democrats didn't do, that's like paying a shady car dealer and him telling me to get my car delivered by somebody else.
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
@4toHumble@Oldcrow07@CurtisBashar Gucci circa 2007-2009 was on every other song on the radio. Not a proud run for hip hop, but the slow bus era was real...
Southwest’s change is the death of the company.
I was a top .1% user for 5 years (literally flew so much I got companion pass in 2022).
The thing is, Southwest misunderstood what their actual moat was.
It wasn’t cheap flights though that worked.
It wasn’t no seat assignments, though that again was a positive as well.
Their moat was that they were the only airline that you could book a flight in 5 clicks if you had an account.
Because of the simplicity of their offering and the operation, you could avoid the confusing bullshit that you had to deal with with all other airlines—which tier, which seat, which status, which flight insurance, which bag fee…etc
They, the southwest leaders, confused their win as low cost—it wasn’t it was ease of use.
And it’s gone—now they’re just like everyone else, but they have no experience being like everyone else—so they’re actually not just like everyone else, they’re the worst of the rest.
I have booked 6 flights since the change that would have been a no brainer southwest for me in the past—each one I’ve booked Alaska.
Because now, Southwest is only competing on price and flight options.
I used to be happy to pick slightly worse flights for the simple fact that I had nothing to think about to accomplish it—now, I am forced to only judge them on the same things that all other airlines compete on.
And they’re gonna lose.
James Dyson famously said. “Be different, for the sake of it.”
We literally call it product differentiation.
Southwest was the only airline that was different—and they were the only airline that was profitable for 44 straight years (until COVID).
And they gave that advantage away on purpose—Herb Kelleher is rolling over in his grave.
Mark my words—in 5 years this is going to go down as the greatest fumble in modern corporate history—they don’t even have the excuse of failure to adapt to a new technology like Kodak or Xerox, they intentionally did this to themselves.
