Overbooking

It never happens to me, but what if your flight is overbooked?

I felt a lack of options and lack of control.

Therefore, whenever you are doing business or you are in a relationship, you need to trust that the other side does everything possible in your best interest. Even if you don’t always agree with the decisions made.

Going with cheap airlines might cost you the comfort, but going with a professional airline as I did will give you security that no matter what they do, you will reach in time to your final destination.

The domain x.com pointed yesterday to a page with one character “X”. Today it redirects to the twitter domain and soon we might see the dead of the bird and the birth of the symbol “X”. This change will be followed carefully and we can all learn from the mistakes Elon Musk will do during this transition. He already is very famous with the mistakes he did during his first weeks in the company. Can the company survive such a transformation is another open question? There are already some competitors like Mastodon and Instagram very own Threads. But the vision of Elon Musk is to turn this app more like WeChat, the Chinese mega app that combines many features. The issue with such a combination of too many businesses and too many regulations might play a crucial role in the downfall of the company. Many times s
