I had preferred Platinum or whatever they use to call the tier where you had to be selected to join and I haven’t really noticed a different. But until Covid I probably had the best ambassador there was her name was Brenda and she always made sure my stay was taken care of from pillows, to gifts, and she would call me every couple weeks and just went over my stays and how they could do better. I think she made the experience

Marriott has a lot of hotels (Lifetime Titanium). Also have Hyatt Globalist and like their hotels as well.

American for airline (CK) - I have lived predominantly in AA hub cities. they treat me well. I don’t know the differences per airline programs but I think you will find the fewer connections and better schedules will be preferred.

I do recommend to pick a hotel and an airline and stick with them as much as possible. The lifetime status will pay dividends even after you stop traveling for work.

Marriott is garbage but it's also everywhere and often preferred by firms, so we're kind of stuck

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about.

My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
