#LearnedLeague #LL107 MD1 thread. I am a YouTube TV customer, so I do not have access to my local affiliate that airs @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social - but that won't stop me from Factfueling and pursuing my trivial interests with the great @levarburton.bsky.social and All! Nine! COOKIES!!!

This is ridiculous, YouTube TV.

You have no problem autocharging $93.06 to my credit card every month. Why can't you issue the "credit" automatically. Why do I have to go take extra steps and more of MY time to claim a "credit" for your failure to provide programming I paid for.
YouTube TV Hi Joshua, ‌ We've been working in good faith to negotiate a deal with Disney that pays them fairly for their content and returns their programming to YouTube TV. We know it’s been disappointing to lose Disney content, and we want you to know we deeply appreciate your patience. In light of the disruption, we’re offering our subscribers a $20 credit. ‌ Over the next few days, you will receive a follow-up email with instructions on how to redeem your $20 credit for YouTube TV. Once redeemed, this will be applied to your next bill. ‌ We remain committed to working with Disney to bring their content back to YouTube TV. As always, family managers have the ability to pause or cancel anytime. ‌ Thanks for your membership, The YouTube TV team

Less than 4% of your monthly mortgage payments will go towards principal reduction over the first TWENTY years of a 50-year fixed mortgage at 9% APR. You will effectively just be renting your home from the bank.

Here are the numbers for a $400,000 loan, from calculator dot net.

When a Black woman was on the ballot for President of the United States, running as a Democrat: every state shifted away from her.

When a Black woman was on the ballot for Governor of Virginia, running as a Republican: every county shifted away from her.

Not saying... just saying.

"When everyone votes for the candidates and issues of their choice, government and society look like all of us. When only some people vote, it looks like them."

There is a reason I say this before EACH and EVERY #LearnedLeague Recap...

Serious Answer: I watched The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice quite regularly... I was in getting my MBA at the time, and I had (and still have) a keen interest in business, particularly finance and economics. Shark Tank was also "appointment watching" for me in those days...

No, because the media wanted Trump back the whole time. I called this back in 2023, on the other platform.
from @joshtigerhill: "No reporter has asked him this question because a large chunk of the media want him reelected in 2024 and are trying their best to make that happen. Some outlets have outright said as much. Their bottom lines depend on it." Posted at 8:41pm on 26 November 2023.

#LearnedLeague #LL106 MD23 thread. My losing streak is over, but I am still staring down a career-long streak of ten games without a win.
