DTE, a power company, taunts you by telling you how many people have power when you go to get information on your outage. Currently 2.25 million people have their power on. Me and my neighbors are not among them.
a portion of a Ticketmaster receipt that itemizes extortion: Facility charge is $18 times two, Service Fee is $140.40 times two. That's $244.40 in fees for two concert tickets.

More bullshit AI. This one has something to do with Patrick Kane helping an old woman.
