I cannot understand the mentality of TaxWatch and organizations like it.

Really?  You cannot understand the belief that a tax system should be fair and equitable, and that broad rules should apply equally to all, and independent monitoring of the situation is required to assess outcomes, campaign for positive change, and provide extra layers of compliance auditing?

Weird.

Since when has airing your dissatisfaction publicly help to attract a company to take ownership of your problem child? /s

EDIT: Love the card, love the customer service, love the Apple Cash/Savings, love the first of the month billing. The only reason I can fathom for so much whining is maybe b/c Apple customers pay their bills and GS isn't making "as much" from interest and fees?

Last part is the key. Maybe, just maybe, people who buy Apple products are better at personal finances than non-Apple product users. I'm retired drawing social security and some IRA distributions every once in awhile but my credit score is in the 800's because I pay off my bills every month and don't have a ton of credit cards maxed out. I'm surprised my credit score is so high because I'm not the type of person who pays lots of interest every month. That's the type of person credit card companies love because that's how they make money. Growing up my bank gave me 5% interest on savings accounts but now they don't give you anything, depending on credit card interest income to survive. I would like to see Goldman Sach's interest income on the Apple Card to see what percentage of Apple Card users pay off every month. I assume by Goldman Sach's comments, way too many do. If this is the case, Apple should do a serious investigation into being a credit card company since it might not cost them very much.

I enjoyed both seasons and fully expected a cancelation. It's not something you easily keep rehashing. If I have one question is why hadn't anyone thought to do a Rashomon-style narrative for a murder mystery a long time ago?

Each episode was also filmed in different ways, using the language of film genres to differentiate between the retelling by each suspect.

That wasn't until season two, where they mimiic different directors filming styles.

At least I have the next Agatha Christie murder mystery directed by Branagh to look forward to when it hits streaming.

I bought the Airpods Pro 2 for two things:

1. Active Noise Cancellation
2. Conversation Boost.

The ANC is a total bust. There is virtually no noise cancellation apparent, no matter how it's optimized. Drugstore earplugs @25¢ each work better. Conversation Boost doesn't work at all against ambient noise, either.
