It's hard to believe that in 2024 Hertz.com doesn't have online chat help support for Gold Plus Rewards member. To get a simple question about my existing customer profile answered, I have to fill out a form & wait 3-5 business day? #fail

@Delta Thanks a lot for delaying my flight from St. George to SLC by just enough time that I missed boarding my connection to PDX by 2 minutes and then making me watch while the plane sat at the gate another 10 minutes

@SymSerm @praddenkeefe I went home via Canyon Rd. to avoid having to go back down Scholls Ferry, and saw cars on the eastbound side of Hwy 26 backed up as far as I could see. What a nightmare.

@MichelleRafter @praddenkeefe Exactly, never would've made it through the tunnel. I live off the Sylvan exit and can see 26 from my backyard. It was still stopped at midnight. Sad to miss this.

I'm pretty sure my dad the former mechanical engineer wore these glasses for the entirety of the 1960s.

Even CNN says Tucci's food lovers' tour through Italy is one the their most successful original programs. So explain to me again why the powers that be at the network are canceling it? hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cnn…

"When CEOs identify too much with the company, they tend to make business choices to suit themselves, not the company." Sound like anyone around here?

Management professor Sydney Finkelstein wrote Why Smart Executives Fail close to 20 years ago, yet his observations from studying execs at 50+ big biz failures could apply to Musk, SBF, etc. END powells.com/book/why-smart…

"Investors who think the best way to judge a business venture is to look at (the leader's) track record should remember that the biggest disasters are usually created by personalities with the most impressive track records." More great insights from Why Smart Executives Fail 1/
