I'm pretty surprised that ANGI has recovered since this article ran. Their promotions smack of desperation. For an outfit that is built on reliable, honest recommendations to use overhype and overpromise in their own promos is not a good sign....
I really enjoy your writing. To clarify, you think that withholding a vote, hence approval, is the only option? I can't see another, but won't that just be seen as apathy and encourage them to think they can do anything with impunity?
I'd say its more likely Amazon would mine the data Echo collects to get more information about its customers. After all, Echo is linked to your Amazon account and if you have an Amazon tablet or phone, knows a lot about your browsing activity. With Echo "always on" and "always listening, Amazon will now know A LOT more about you, 24/7.
It must be lovely to be so arrogant and ignorant. I'm 61, worked all my life, got laid off, my Cobra expired. The only insurance I could get from the profit-oriented insurance companies you love so much was more than $1000 a month. Now with my tax subsidy I pay $350. Would you rather I just go to emergency rooms alongside the nonworking poor and have the taxpayer pick up ALL the freight?
Have you priced kibble lately, Charles? I wouldn't count on that snack.... But seriously folks, really good article, story of my life. And since my trust-funded retirement isn't going to happen, I've been admiring some working superseniors (like my 88-year-old neighbor) who still commutes two days a week to (paid) employment at a charity she loves. These folks tend to be healthier and sharper than their retired compatriots anyway. So what if we're tired, not retired - helps get a good night's sleep.
How do the highest technical sell signals make these Dogs of the Dow? To my understanding 'Dogs of the Dow' has a specific meaning, i.e., having the highest dividend yield at the beginning of the year.
