WestJet used to be a publicly traded company, but they got bought and were taken private by Onex several years ago. No financials or dividend information would be available to be looked up.

I don't do it just to boil your blood.

I've also failed to recognize Ted Lasso references. While sporting this username!

You pretending to be a movie critic or acting like one or being so arrogant about it was wild. Like your friend was so it gave you an authority? It's still hilarious.

I quoted this and then I realized it wasn’t UCB. Imagine my surprise.

I am the authority on movies, and don't you forget it.

Meanwhile you're probably that guy in the theater that needs cues from the rest of the audience to know when to laugh.

Come at me... with your vote.

It was a joke.

But it was also a commentary on the travails of the working person. They are underpaid, overworked and expendable because they have no power. They are exploited so that returns can be paid to the investors, who do nothing other than provide capital, a necessary part of the equation, but not deserving of all of the rewards. Particularly when the product they have invested in has been continuously downgraded to appease their rapacious appetite for ever greater returns, in turn exploiting the lack of choice for consumers who must endure the terrible service provided in order to travel.

And when the workers try to even the playing field and negotiate from a position of strength? Then the investors activate their pawns in government to discourage or outright prohibit this evening of the playing field.

And then when the unions are in they exploit and abuse their power by defending even the worst of their members at the expense of the final consumer who at the end of it all is getting ####ed with 17 dildos from all directions.

Nice system we have developed.

I won't fly any airline that treats me with terrible customer service.

Unless they are offering the lowest possible price to my destination. Then I'm all in!

I couldn't agree more.

Trent stumping for this is making him far more annoying, but in the actual annoying way that is loathsome and not fun annoying.

Did diss pay for this? None of this is a logical campaign by TCI and just makes the board feel a bit sorry for them.

I only had the vinegar and tried to reduce it down in a small pot. It went from liquid to tar to black permanent pot glue in a matter of seconds. Also lost a sauce pot that day.

Also, balsamic glaze (or whatevr its called) is a revelation and also healthier tastier condiment for lots of stuff. Hot sauce and balsamic with dumplings/perogies. Oh ya.

Not handy (hehe) but if you google it on your work computer you should get lots of options.

I suggested that this type of behaviour should result in an automatic loss for this very reason. It's easy to be annoying on purpose; it's another thing to have it be an organic part of your personality.

Isn't a balsamic glaze just a reduction of balsamic vinegar with some sugar? Shouldn't be too hard to DIY.

You’d think it wouldn’t be difficult. And yet it’s the only thing I’ve only ever been able to achieve “good enough” with in the kitchen.

A mix of Borax and sugar left around my property did a great job of dealing with the wasps and ants that had invaded one summer. If you get the mixture right, it'll work on most social insects. They are drawn to it and then bring it back to the hive where they poison the queen.
