I bought an extended warranty on my well-reviewed dehumidifier because the previous one broke after 13 months, one month past the manufacturer warranty. This one lasted 11.5 months before it crashed. The store exchanged it for a new one but wouldn't let me use the existing warranty I bought covering 4 years. If you're following this, I paid $80 for two warranties on two $300 appliances that may last a year. We're living in a throwaway market. #Consumer

After dabbling in Blue Sky, the most egregious aspect is that the "star accounts" are promoted relentlessly and it's extremely difficult to connect with regular folk. No all-inclusive feed is provided. Instead, you're prompted to follow feeds made up of popular accts. The high profile people try to outdo each other with snark, bite and titillation while everyone else ogles. Granted, the site is entertaining but it stinks of ego and pretension, too. Not a place for sharing your own thoughts.

@npub12ez…uyf6 Reporters have a role in telling the public what is at stake but the onus is on the Democratic party to make this case. Congressional democrats and strategists have pushed us to this precipice through their passiveness. All the brilliant Dem. lawyers in Congress couldn't come up with an aggressive strategy --then and now --to stop GOP fascists from unconstitutional transgressions? The inadequacies of journalists pale against lawmakers who were elected to serve our Democracy.
