@CapitalOne My mother had her identity stolen. You told me you locked her online account. They kept getting in. Now I know how bc i got in the same way. You have a major security flaw! Let me know if you want my help.

@MomAngtrades My first just turned 8 months! It's the best!! ❤️

I can’t wait to have Grandkids. I will never understand the grandparents who have the attitude of I already raised my kids and are hardly in they lives.

@thejobchick Voluntary buyouts seems like a better starting point than layoffs, for employees. Doesn't give the company as much control over which roles are cut. I'd like to see more of the voluntary offers.

Microsoft’s first voluntary buyout for 7% of employees is happening… but can we call it what it is: It’s labor amortization. They’re targeting senior director roles and below where age + tenure = 70+. AKA… The expensive people. High salary bands. Big stock refreshes. Benefits costs. The people who actually know how the machine works. Instead of messy layoffs, Microsoft writes one check and calls it voluntary. Why? Because paying someone once is a lot cleaner than carrying that comp for the next 5 years. Amortization is a clever technique some companies use. Pay $250K–$500K now instead of that salary year over and over… especially if that role can be cut, split across smaller teams, pushed offshore, or just flat out replaced with AI and a Copilot demo. That’s the real game here y’all. They eat the restructuring charge now and show the margin expansion later. This isn’t random cost cutting in the slightest … it is just deliberate labor repricing. Basically: we love your experience… just not at that payroll line. Sooo very Microsoft. The interview below with @EA_Rice - one of my statements was… “And when Microsoft does it…the rest of the market follows.” Watch.

This is, quite literally, one of the stupidest, misguided statements I've ever heard!

@CollinRugg As the father of a Down syndrome son, I can tell you, they are a blessing! That smile is worth everything!!! 😃

9-month-old baby with Down syndrome says his first word ever. "This season has been hard and a bit isolating at times BUT it's so much more bright than the internet or doctors lead us to believe," the boy's mother said. "God doesn't waste a single step and he's building something new, I'm learning to rest in that and I'm SO grateful to have Hank as our proof. He is working and blessing us in unique ways." An estimated 67% - 85% of pregnancies in the United States with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted. While most people with Down syndrome experience cognitive delays, they go on to live fulfilling, productive, and happy lives. May God bless this child. Video: aestheticartist_angelina / ig.

@Experian Thank you for responding! My mother is 83, she doesn't have social media accounts.

@GavinPReed Thank you for contacting us. Our apologies for the frustration this has caused. For security purposes, can you please have your mother reach out to us on her social media account? -Vivian

Hey @Experian @Experian_US my mother's identity was stolen, we can't access her account online and your top notch AI agent won't even let us talk to a human! Nice customer service!

@jimcramer The government should have never raided the Social Security coffers in the first place!

Nor should I. This is a very good idea even as it contravenes the way the law envisioned...

Happy Easter!

@oldtoons_ "Tell me more about my eyes!" 😂

Write something that only Bugs Bunny fans would recognise 🐰

Just heard @GabbyBarrett_ for the first time on the @TPUSA All-American Halftime Show...I'm a new fan! 😃

"Speaking of old Trojans not working"!! 😂🤣☠️

OMG!!! This is so hilarious 😂

This made me laugh out loud!! Well done! 👏

I don't care that they won! Mike McDaniel should be fired before the plane lands in the States!

@thogge Gerrymandering!

The most broken things in America: 1. The national debt. 2. The healthcare system. 3. The tax code. 4. K-12 education. 5. Obesity rates. What am i missing?

@WallStreetApes The problem is, student loans accrue interest daily, not monthly like mortgages, car loans and others. That's why they're so much harder to pay off!

American pays $900 monthly payments on her students loans Last time she looked was January, the balance was $100k She checked again, after 11 months of payments $9,900, her balance has only gone down $1,400 That’s more than $8,500 in interest every year. This should be illegal

To the man in 2D. Today you were traveling from Orlando to Philly. I don’t know you, but I imagine you saw us somewhere. I was pushing a stroller, had a diaper bag on my arm and also lugging an oxygen machine for my daughter. We had smiles on our faces as we were headed to see her “friends” at CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia). We pre- boarded the plane, got cozy in our window seat and made jokes to those around us about having to sit by my yelling-but-happy baby. The flight attendant came over and told me you were waiting to switch seats. You were giving up your comfortable, first class seat to us. Not able to hold back tears, I cried my way up the aisle while my daughter Lucy laughed! She felt it in her bones too... real, pure, goodness. I smiled and thanked you as we switched but didn’t get to thank you properly. Sooo... thank you. Not just for the seat itself but for noticing. For seeing us and realizing that maybe things are not always easy. For deciding you wanted to show a random act of kindness to US. It reminded me how much good there is in this world. I can’t wait to tell Lucy someday. In the meantime we will pay it forward. AA 588 passenger in seat 2D, we truly feel inspired by your generosity. Credit: Kelsey Zwick

@AnnieAgar Thanks for the reminder! 🤦‍♂️

the dolphins right now

@KobeissiLetter Great explanation. Thank you!

Confused about what's happening with regional bank stocks? Here's the real issue: In March 2023, regional bank stocks collapsed, the crisis was "contained," but nothing really changed. Banks who took outsized risk with either "backstopped" by the US government or acquired by JP Morgan. As a result, this further incentivized taking on outsized risk, particularly as deposits over the $250,000 FDIC limit are now inherently "insured." That is: investors and regional bank companies know that the US government will "backstop" deposits in the case of a collapse. Today, shares of Zions Bancorp crashed -13% after it disclosed a $50 million charge-off for a loan underwritten by its subsidiary. And, Western Alliance Bank stock fell -12% after it said it’s dealing with a borrower that failed “to provide collateral loans in first position.” Regardless, the March 2023 precedent is that regional banks will be effectively bailed out even if a collapse is the result of bad management. Sum this all up and when regional bank stocks fall, the entire market follows because CONFIDENCE was never restored in the regional bank system. The regional bank crisis was simply swept under the rug.
