    Board of Governors member Thom Goolsby tells me WILL go back up. “It’s not my opinion. It’s what the law is in this state...There’s no ifs, ands, or buts. There’s no meeting. There’s no vote. There’s no nothing. It’s the law. And the statue goes back up.”

    It constantly blows my mind how wrong the targeting on Amazon’s recommendation/personalization algorithm is, given how much they know about me and the capability I know they have to process it
