Amazon wants you picturing a robot walking your coworker to the parking lot with a cardboard box. That’s not really what happened. Since October 2025, Amazon has cut roughly 30,000 corporate jobs in two waves — 14,000 last fall, another 16,000 in January. CEO Andy Jassy told employees back in a June 2025 memo that …
Southwest Airlines spent decades selling you exactly one thing no other airline would: free bags. It showed up in every commercial and every earnings call, unchanged for years. Then in May 2025, Southwest killed it. The reaction was instant and confident. Fitch Ratings warned that adding bag fees risked “eroding Southwest’s competitive strengths relative to …
Book a flight from an iPhone, in a hotel lobby, at midnight, after refreshing the same search four times because the price keeps changing, and Delta might quietly decide you look desperate enough to pay more.

Due to long lines at polls all over America, Obama supporters are asked to please vote on Wednesday.
None of this is good, but can we stop hearing about all the deaths in Iraq? Should we pull out of Chicago? Body count. In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago, 221 killed in Iraq. Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Gov. Rod Blogojevich, House leader Mike Madigan, Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan …
I can’t possibly ad anything to these unbelievable photos. Just some of many that show just how bad it was for Galveston, Texas. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/the_short_but_eventful_life_of.html
Similar stories were common coming out of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and they need to be heard. This is absolutely ridiculous. This is how people act? Deplorable.
