Literally every month for the past 3 months, CVS Caremark has invented another excuse why I need to call them and deal with their janky hotline if I want to continue filling my prescriptions at my local pharmacy. I miss twitter because it was a great way to shame companies for this bullshit.

Having a truly, truly miserable customer service experience immiserates everyone involved. You get angrier and more frustrated as you go, and no one you deal with either caused the problem or has the ability to solve it. Once in a blue moon you'll get someone who really fucks up, but it's mostly 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.
