Arieh Smith (aka Xiaoma), a polyglot, was invited to give a speech at a high school for Language Week, and he delivered the entire speech in Gen Alpha slang.

@WallStreetApes So find another vet to your liking? There are surely independently-operated veterinary practices in your locality. If this vet is charging so much above market rates, eventually market forces will cause the practice to lose customers.

This is one of the biggest problems in America and nobody in power cares “Private equity is ruining everything and it's driving me insane. My dog's vet got bought out by private equity. And it used to be this place that actually like dogs. The doctors were so awesome. Now every time I go, they try to upcharge me on everything. — I went today and I took my dog. He needs to get his like prescriptions refilled, basically. So we did a heartwarm test and they proceeded to quote me for $2,000 in additional services that he may need, one being teeth cleaning, which all of that was for teeth cleaning actually. And I've gotten quotes for other places for teeth cleaning because I know his teeth need to be cleaned pretty soon. And I've gotten quoted for $400 at other places. $400. Why is it $2,000 at my former vet, where I used to be able to go in without an annual exam and get vaccine, where now I have to annual exam. I have to go in for an exam for anything. And every time I go in, they try to upsell me on multiple things that I've already declined. And they don't even pet my dog. They don't even act like they like dogs” “I just feel like private equity getting into pet ownership is insane because we've been pushed out of the market to be able to afford children because of private equity and private insurance. And so a lot of us have gotten dogs and pets because we want to have something in our lives. And now they're making this extremely unaffordable as well. I was shocked by the way they tried to close the meeting and push for additional tests that weren't discussed with the doctor, weren't discussed before I arrived, saying that because he's five, he needs to get these tests. And then when I get the quote for the dental work, it was actually pre operation blood work when I haven't agreed to going and getting his teeth cleaned there. It's a scam. I feel scammed. I feel like every time I go somewhere it's been bought out by private equity and everywhere is trying to price gouge me where I feel like becoming Amish may be the next best thing I could do for myself because I genuinely can't continue to live in a world that is controlled by private equity”

And now a gutted Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. My representative at the time, Nikki Tsongas, read my letter - and held up 5 years of statements as proof- on the floor of the house years ago in support of the creation of the CFPB. After 5 yrs of on time cc payments the provider changed their billing cycle causing my payment to come in one day late triggering an increase from 4% to 29.9% adding another $1000 per month in interest. From a single late payment that was due to their change. The company relented after the noise that I made.

@WallStreetApes America went from a high-trust society to having to actively defend yourself from fraud and theft with every single monetary transaction cars, homes, medical, dental, business, goods, and services

@WallStreetApes Not providing a vaccine without an exam is a common (scam) tactic. Plus I needed a more costly “senior” exam since dogs were over 5yrs. And they tried to push another $1000 of tests because of their age.

This is so true and awful. I have experienced this same thing with multiple vets owned by PE firms jacking up prices and being jerks. One time they would not release the dogs to an assistant who went to pick them up because I did not give them a Mastercard but left Amex. Had been a customer of prior vet owner for 10 years and always paid my bill. I was presenting on a webinar and could not speak with them. (It was the third call that day. The first to clear over $1000 in tests which I declined. A second call from the vet to confirm. And then they called for the MC # which I could not take. They refused to release the dogs until they received a card. Seriously? Fees have at least tripled since take over.

How are organizations evolving their business and operating models in the era of #AI? Insightful keynote by Timothy Tiryaki @MaslowResearch identifies how many current models (for example landing page traffic and SEO) are being quickly disrupted #kmaisummit

@lyft driver refused to turn the radio off. (Wife had a migraine and needed silence) Said “he had to listen to it” and when asked “do we need to get another car” he said “yes” and we had to get out No way to report to Lyft. Hate Uber but have to go back. (That or taxis- good luck finding one..,:-))

Florida tried to make it easier for smaller businesses to raise funds while excluding “bad actors“ from the state. Turns out all of the banks fell into this category. They’ve all had problems in running afoul of the rules. wsj.com/finance/regula…
