They can’t stop because they need the funding source....
What a mess at O’Hare today. I left my meeting at 352pm (we ended up finishing early). Took me 32 mins to get to the airport. From national car rental to through security was about 10 mins. There were zero people in both clear and pre-check in terminal 5. Got to get at 4:37. Super easy. ...
Story of my life unfortunately. Today I timed it and it took me 8 mins from walking out of security to get to rental car. Delta is T5 so will be first stop from rental car. I have CLEAR/Pre-Check so 520p shouldn’t be a bad time. I don’t check bags so just go to gate. Happy to give a final report tom...
LOL- I have a meeting until 430p in Skokie on Tuesday + a rental car and my flight leaves at 557pm. I am hoping to get out at 415p and be at rental car by 455p. That would give me plenty of time to get to terminal, use Clear/Pre-Check, and possibly grab a snack from the skyclub ...

Gonna give up one of my little ATL secrets. Don’t check into the domestic terminal. Use the security at the international terminal and enter into terminal F then take the sky train. Shhh… keep it quiet. Don’t screw it up so the sheep in ATL start using the hack. ...

Speaking of Hilo, we enjoyed the Hilo Cacao farm. Thought it was a cool day trip. Richardson Beach in Hilo isn’t much but I used to love going sit on the rocks and relax. There is a bridge just north of Hilo that we used to jump off. If desired I can see if I can find it. ...

Nice. Have a blast. Things I love: -Hapuna Beach -Poke at Da Poke Shack -Southpoint has a cool green sand beach but it is a hike -Drive to Mauna Kea via saddle Rd. Go on a clear night, especially if there are any meteor showers planned -Go take a Kona coffee tour -Drive up to Waipio Valley -...

Tons of recs- what part are you staying in? I graduated from UH-Hilo in 2003 and went back in spring 2022. Hilo hasn’t changed a bit. I love the whole island. ...
Rice has always been very diverse. I am going to TCU’s next weekend. I don’t expect to see any Palestinian flags....

Any signs of termites tonight?...
I hope they somehow get squatters rights. That is what it would take for some of the idiots in leadership to learn how ignorant some of the policies they are creating really are....

The bigger issue is the math. The math doesn’t math. The percentages are over inflating the tip....
I absolutely love seeing this. Humility at its finest. It certainly takes an edge to get there, but remember where you come from. These are also still very young men. ...
Healthcare consulting. I am in the risk adjustment space so use basic business math but also use predictive analytics (my masters) a fair amount. However I definitely don’t use it like I could or should....
Doesn’t matter what they charge. Insurances have allowables based on contracts and the rest is written off. Don’t have insurance, you are either screwed or you negotiate. You took the risk not to have insurance. ...
