A Bloomberg Terminal costs $24,000 per year. It's the portal to all the world's financial data. Unaffordable for 99% of us. Reserved for the Wall Street elite to outfox the normal investor. Until now:
Hi @FedExHelp I have a package 588672890615 for which was delivery was never attempted and is now being held for pickup. I have called customer service several times to ask them to deliver it, and received false and conflicting information each time. Could you please investigate?

I called on Friday, and they said it would be delivered on Saturday between 9am-1pm. I called on Saturday morning, and they confirmed it was on the truck, and would be delivered between 2-3pm. I called Saturday evening, and they said they could not guarantee it would be delivered

Doug Mastriano, projected by @NBCNews to be PA’s GOP nominee for governor, pushed for a resolution to toss out Biden’s 2020 win in PA. He would be tasked with certifying PA’s 2024 election results. But this goes beyond Mastriano potentially throwing 2024 into chaos —>

Amazon donated to re-elect Tennessee state representative Susan Lynn, a lawmaker who promoted QAnon on Twitter and Facebook. It is way past time to do this, but I I have finally cancelled my Amazon Prime account: theguardian.com/us-news/2020…

This year, my partner and I gave birth to our daughter in New York during the height of the pandemic. We ended up leaving NYC for Colorado to be closer to family, and find ourselves far away from the city we love. #CovidDiasporaVotes

@LenovoSupport I am interested in purchasing one of your new X1 Carbon laptops with Fedora pre-installed, but I am concerned about reports of Uyghur forced labor used in your supply chain. theintercept.com/2020/08/21/…

In Trump’s America, every appointee is corrupt. Every appointment is transactional.

The Postmaster General has now been accused, on the record, of the precise crime I questioned him about two weeks ago. There is federal legal exposure, and the state of North Carolina should not hesitate to open its own investigation.

I have covered the rise of hate crimes against Muslims since 2016. And while this is some of the most horrific footage I've seen, when I was first about the mosque attack in New Zealand— I was not surprised.

This is how all City Council meetings should go.
"We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work. We should be excited by that. But the reason we’re not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die. And that is, at its core, our problem." @AOC

There’s a magic trick that’s going to get played on us every day during the 2020 election cycle. It’s a fairly simple trick, once you see it. I’d like to talk about leadership and governance. And the compass, the navigation, the travel, and the corrections. (thread)
