You can tell how poor someone is by what they complain about. Amex platinum is basically free $895 for most people who live a normal life. In fact it has positive expectated value if you aren't retarded. If anything it may be commercially underpriced. The 4PM guaranteed late check-out and free breakfast for two alone would pay for itself. At 5 star hotels breakfast, they include free daily breakfast for two around $60-80 per day. If you travel even 14 days a year that covers your membership and more ($1000 value). I automatically get $400 back annually at Resy restaurants I would go to anyway every quarter ($100). Its a big list of restaurants it's applied automatically even if you dont use the Resy App. You also get $300 back on your Equinox membership. You get $300 in free Lululemon gift cards per year ($75 a quarter) to either use later or save up and gift later to people. If you are going to spend anyway the point system is incredibly valuable to get 1st class flights later. Anyone complaining either has a very low socioeconomic status, does not travel, or is horrible at math.

The head of the philosophy department at Williams College downplays the pedagogical value of writing: “What if we are mistaken in treating writing as the highest cultivation of thought? The evidence that supports this belief is thin at best. Writing can be useful cognitive scaffolding for memory and self-regulated learning, but the notion that it is the best process for developing thinking skills is a fairly recent idea, traceable to the 1970s writing-across-the-curriculum movement.”

Bro can't risk getting back pain 😭

Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

The entire medical field needs some sort of reset. Too many people are joining the healthcare ranks with no fucking empathy and it’s literally killing people.
