Really useful info in the blog below about the strikes at #ASSA2025 and how to participate if you want to support striking workers. One easy way: change your hotel reservation! AEA has extended the deadline to change to Dec 12 Non striking hotels at: fairhotel.org

The AEA's annual conference is at the @HiltonSFUnionSq, where @UniteHereL2 workers are on strike. The AEA should not do business with hotels where workers are striking. The AEA should not make attendees cross the picket line. #econtwitter @AEAInformation
Thanksgiving spirit on the picket line today! @Hilton, @Hyatt, and @Marriott should know... hotel workers aren't afraid to strike through the holidays and into 2025 to protect our families, our health care, and our city!

Per AEA: "...employees at all five of the main hotels on Union Square (Hilton, Parc 55, Marriott Marquis, Westin, Grand Hyatt SF) with which AEA has contracted for the largest blocks of rooms and the only accompanying meeting space are currently on strike."

ctd. "...if unresolved the ASSA must proceed with the conference and the hotels will bring in personnel from around the country to support. The hotels have had many weeks to adjust to this change and there should be little or no effect on hotel services."

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world. I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

@VerizonSupport I've been on chat for 90 minutes trying to figure out why my data usage numbers are different from the usage that @Verizon is claiming. Both customer service reps so far left the chat without resolving anything.

No acknowledgement by @VerizonSupport that anything seems off -- and the only 'option' they have to offer is to change plans. Oh, and they removed the teacher discount that I had with no notice.

AND I'd originally gone on the @Verizon app to check my plan and recommend it to someone complaining about terrible customer service @ATT. lol.
