RIP Brooklyn Vegan. Absolutely bewildering. Thinking of all the great people there and the unparalleled music coverage they’ve done over the years. Utterly unceremonious and moronic actions by Veeps.

When I’m on hold, accepting a call back feels like a leap of faith.
Instead, services could leverage SMS to:
• Confirm I’m still in line
• Reassure me with updates
• Let me know I’m about to get a call back
I hadn’t seen anything like this until yesterday. While on hold to schedule a Dr's appt, I got an offer for a call back with SMS confirmation!
It was such a solid start and I’d love to see more of this.
Thanks to @mmmallette for inspiring solutions to this issue.
Assuming I have to talk to someone in person and I can't do so immediately...here’s my ideal scenario when waiting. What’s yours?

I honestly wanted to vomit when I read this press release from UnitedHealth disclosing how huge its windfall profits over the last 3 months have been, while millions of Americans lost their jobs & health insurance & over 100k lost their lives. (1/9) sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…

During the pandemic, while a record-breaking 5.4 million Americans lost their health insurance, UnitedHealth—one of the largest health insurance companies in America—made a record-breaking quarterly profit of $6.6 billion.

Class warfare at its ugliest:
Boeing’s former CEO gets up to $58.5 million after 346 passengers died on his watch.
Bloomberg - worth $54 billion - used prison labor on his campaign.
The Walton family – worth over $200 billion - denied holiday pay to its $11 an hour workers.

Lately I’ve noticed some Democratic politicians defending the current healthcare system by saying it preserves “choice” for Americans. As a former health insurance exec who helped draft this talking point, I need to come clean on its back story, and why it's wrong and a trap 1/11

If avoiding federal taxes is what makes someone a “genius," then let’s revoke the Nobel Prize won by that tax-paying idiot Albert Einstein.
