Got to my gate earlier today and they were boarding. I asked the man beside me who was boarding and he said, “Not us yet. Only First Class is boarding.”
I chuckled, said, “Thanks”, and boarded. 😑

@SteveSchmidtSES This is the outcome when performative obnoxiousness gets rewarded. @CNN is complicit.

CNN’s Scott Jennings is a product of a system that has told him that there will be no consequences. That no matter how far he goes, there will always be another segment. This is what “too MAGA to fail” looks like.

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9
He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee
“In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.”
He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience”
How out of touch could a person possibly be…
