I don’t know of any person who carries discover anyway.
I hate discover. We had a card with a $2000 limit that had a low interest rate and we used it every now and then for “emergencies”. Always paid off any balance within a month or 2. Saws a fraudulent charge one day and disputed it. They refunded my money and thought that was that. A few months later they dropped my limit to $500 and locked my account. I called and asked why, they said I disputed a charge that they didn’t feel was actually fraudulent. They never contacted me about it. I said ok go ahead and close my account. They then started apologizing saying they’d unlock it right away and see about increasing my limit again. I said no thanks, just close it. Not a great way to do business. You’re right: AMEX is far superior.

I did no such thing. I reported what was going on in my organization and those around me.
The situation is kinda getting bad at hospitals around here. Staffing especially has become a huge issue.
But hospitalizations are drastically going up in AZ ... But you can still overstress the hospitals here and technically have beds and ventilators.

You guys thought you knew all the data just because you found state links. That is just what is available to the public. Trust me...I had a lot more insider information than the public.
Do some basic googling for AZ right now. You can find article after article about the bed issue here.

And...I never once said we were at risk of running out of physical beds or ventilators.
And I never once said you did, although I’m positive if I went back and looked hard enough I’d find evidence to the contrary.
I said you were needlessly fearmongering, which is undeniably true as shown above. And that was just from 1 thread. You were on that hype train for several weeks.

Also....many ICUs here are making their nurses take 3-4 patients on vents due to staffing issues. They normally only have 1-2 ICU patients.
Here I will quote myself instead of posting silly links...
Nothing in that was fear mongering. It was all truth. The numbers you saw on the sites WERE representing physical bed spaces only and not beds that could be staffed. You guys couldn't seem to grasp the difference. An ICU can have 100 beds...doesn't mean jack shite if you only have 10 nurses to staff those 100 beds.
AZ never had a threat of running out of physical beds...staffing those needed beds with nurses, respiratory therapists, physicians, etc...that was the issue.
Overrunning the healthcare systems is more than running out of physical bed spaces and ventilators. It was also about staffing issues. Especially when there were several staff that were getting sick at the time as well with COVID and having to be out several weeks (and some months...hell we have a nursing manager that is still out on medical leave due to COVID complications and she got it back at the end of June).
ETA: And I know for a fact ICU nurses at my hospital during the surge were having to take way more patient loads than normal. It was practically a daily discussion during our leadership meetings.

Except it wasn’t. The situation was never getting “kinda bad” in Phoenix. There was never a bed issue. There was never any concern of the hospitals getting overstressed. You just reverted back to losing rational thought as everyone knows you are prone to do.

So you told people to google the bed situation, they did, their results proved you were just needlessly fearmongering, and you’re mad about that?

Despite your all fearmongering then and continuance now, Arizona never had a hospitalizations threat, period.

Wait, you mean to tell me hospital staff had higher workloads during a pandemic? Youve gotta be shitting me. No other profession in the world experiences an increase in workloads and stressed resources during a massive, prolonged problem that is specifically impacting their industry. It’s truly a miracle you’ve been able to make it this far.

I cannot imagine a much more disrespectful thing than Discover Card telling someone that because they are black they need more help than others. Discover is saying blacks are not capable of running a business as well as whites and need help. That is such a slap in the face.
That's the entire Democratic/white liberal attitude towards blacks.
