My experience: Even if you pay Google, they don't offer adequate phone support and they don't take customer support seriously. Google Ads sent me an email saying my ad was rejected, then billed me anyway. No idea if the ad ever ra

How do you propose that we maintain an all-volunteer military without recruitment? Returning veterans are going to carry military culture back into civilian life. That's just the reality of the situation after so many years in Iraq and

I think your take is spot on. Airbnb customer support isn't equipped to handle complicated cases. They pass the buck from one support person to the other and their staff doesn't understand the company's own policies. I'm
