Death of competence, pt 1183. Parallels (@ParallelsCares) a virtual machine product on the Mac, used to work fairly well. They switched to a subscription model. they pushed an update which broke basic functionality. Their support is incompetent, can't fix the error they created After countless hours troubleshooting, and more than hour with tech support in my machine, still no fix. Worse, they refuse to consider a refund, because it is beyond the 30 day renewal of the subscription.

9News @cole_sull story on Denver's plan to spend a quarter billion of homeless programs includes no comments from those skeptical of the spending. And no analysis of whether Denver's massive and failed spending actually induces homelessness. high schoolers taking AP Human Geography know to focus on pull and push factors of migration. Hit the streets, and you'll find service resistant homeless who were never housed in Denver. Ever. They came to the city homeless

First @united cancels our flight Denver to LaGuardia. At 4 am. Citing severe weather, which, of course, was non-existent. They use this dodge to avoid compensating you for whatever ensues. So, they put us on stand-by on an earlier flight. We race to the airport- and have to drive and park instead of taking train. That flight was delayed, and we didn’t make stand-by.

@KPcolorado knew a vaccine was coming for at least 9 months, but didn't use the time to construct systems to ensure efficient and timely vaccinations of seniors.
Seniors who use #Medicare ... so essentially tax dollars were wasted. We will need investigations and transparency so future public health disasters are better handled. @jaredpolis put senior lives in the hands of providers that lack the capacity

This is @laurenboebert's campaign manager. BTW, she is all about billionaires/millionaires (including C OGovernor @jaredpolis) "flipping" us into socialism. Now I don't quite get why wealthy capitalists want socialism that would strip them of their wealth. vimeo.com/465195363 God called Bishop to this effort, apparently. She is quite handy with apocalyptic and "end-times" language, as well as a very militant approach to politics. I'm thinking @KyleClark would enjoy this presentation, perhaps for #heynext

The insurrectionist ex-SEAL @AdamNewbold21, the one who embarrassed the entire @USNavy, has revealed what must be serious challenges to the SEAL training Note that you never see ex #Delta guys exhibiting this kind of attention-seeking, married to betrayal of their oath. @USASOCNews needs to get a handle on the failures in training and screening. The Navy needs to root out Right-Wing Extremists and benchmark Delta training.

@Carvana was supposed to deliver a car in the next three hours, something that was scheduled over a week ago
At the last minute, they notify it won’t be here until Tuesday.
Guessing they couldn’t find a truck, but they knew that days ago. You have to wonder about @Carvana’s generally competency, and their motivation, in this notification. Does this extend to other parts of their business. #TheNewWayToBuyCar still has significant impairments of the old way to buy a car
