WTF! Shoppers & Loblaws Cards Merging

[tay]

The WTF for me is the Medias frantic promotion over this earth shattering event.

I'm listening to the radio and they have a spot where Ken Shaw of CTV news comes on in an authoritative voice warning of this event and to watch his newscast for what it means to you. Only in Canada I suppose.

I'm not sure how scary he would make a legitimate issue be......

PS; I have never card.........

Points are the new money. It's pretty much known the USD is doomed, and we were wondering what the new CASHLESS money was going to be. I also think the feds will buy up all the debt with the quantitative easing and then go bankrupt. "Poof!!" to all that debt...Oooops!

I just got this in the mail:

The WTF for me is the Medias frantic promotion over this earth shattering event.

It's advertising.


Similarly, whenever Apple releases a new iWhatever, the media goes apesht. Because it's easier for the media to take a press release and pretend it's news than it is to think.


Some famous journalist said, 'News is whatever someone DOESN'T want you to print', but that takes effort.
