Starting this the night before with a complaint about Amazon. Have a failing external hard drive. Went to Amazon to get a replacement. 5 TB drive at 119.99. Add to cart. No thanks to the protection plans. Page not found. Open the same item from the original tab, and price went up to 128.59. Amazon chat could not help. Got escalated and I'm supposed to hear back in 24 hours. Ordered it from newegg for 119.99 and saved screenshots; filed a bait and switch complaint with the FTC. I can understand if I look at an item and the price goes up the next day, but if I try to order it maybe 10 minutes after opening the item, that price needs to be honored.

“ Despite the intensity of the firefight and suffering grave gunshot wounds himself, Murphy is credited with risking his own life to save the lives of his teammates. Murphy, intent on making contact with headquarters, but realizing this would be impossible in the extreme terrain where they were fighting, unhesitatingly and with complete disregard for his own life moved into the open, where he could gain a better position to transmit a call to get help for his men. Moving away from the protective mountain rocks, he knowingly exposed himself to increased enemy gunfire. This deliberate and heroic act deprived him of cover and made him a target for the enemy. While continuing to be fired upon, Murphy made contact with the SOF Quick Reaction Force at Bagram Air Base and requested assistance. He calmly provided his unit’s location and the size of the enemy force while requesting immediate support for his team. At one point he was shot in the back causing him to drop the transmitter. Murphy picked it back up, completed the call and continued firing at the enemy who was closing in. Severely wounded, Lt. Murphy returned to his cover position with his men and continued the battle.”

In #2 JCM said: GOP senators rail against staggering $4.7 trillion in untraceable Treasury payments Prior to the discovery, Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) identification codes were optional for $4.7 trillion in Treasury Department payments, so they were often left blank and were untraceable. That's twice the annual deficit. Anyone who opposes, looking at you democrats should be throw into Boston Harbor in a barrel of tea. Basic accounting requires the ability to audit. This was designed to prevent that at all costs. |

That's JCM's post from Saturday, not earlier today. Meant to mention that.
