I hope everyone who gets one sends a letter back telling the government to get on with taxing the damn billionaires.

The company I work for uses it to transcribe meetings. Every time I’ve reviewed its notes on a meeting where I’ve spoken, the transcription is reasonably accurate, but the summary is always wrong. Sometimes it’s just a little wrong like it rounds off a number in a way that I wouldn’t have, but sometimes it writes down that I said the literal opposite of what I actually said. Not great for someone working in finance.

I make note of it in my performance reviews, anticipating that someone in management will rely on one of those summaries to make a horrible business decision and then blame me for what the summary said. I’m positive it’s going to happen eventually.

Not with that attitude

The funny thing about that is Canada offered to buy the Ambassador Bridge in 2009, but the owner wanted almost double what the government offered. They only started talking about building the Gordie Howe after that.
