This is an example of a chronic weakness in the Republican ecosystem. Staff, influencers etc don't know how to conduct basic research. The other thing I've noticed is they don't seem to realize we can see & hear what they post on social media. IG is a gold mine!

Before 9/11, I had never participated in a forum or read blogs. At the time, the NYT had chat rooms for each op-ed columnist. I got the impression the participants in the Safire one were all talking in code. I ended joining the NYT Abuzz platform & a 9/11 forum...

Everyone complains about Amazon but I have say, based on my own experience, the mattress return policy is tops. We didn't like a new mattress we purchased. When we called customer service, we were advised Amazon could refund 100% but can't take the mattress back so keep it as a spare or donate it.
