I hate this account. He is so obviously a grifting LARPer i dont know why anyone ever listens to him tbh.

I find this sketchy too, but he did say "unredacted". But who would redact the very generic term "the supplier" that appears in the files in many boring contracts? And where is "Pool" getting all this other intel? It's a great narrative, and may be true if sourced and big if true, but here I think "17" is just a narrative marker and not necessarily a provable reference.

I can't believe I once had an American Express blue. The concierge was offshored to the Philippines and it was absolute garbage. Absolutely low effort garbage. The only reason anyone has an American Express is to show off to their friends because they are absolutely useless

I found this "story" while searching for the supplier:

Capitalism
In the month of August, a resort town sits next to the shores of a lake. It is raining, and the little town looks totally
deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.
He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to
pick one.The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.The Butcher takes the 100
dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the pig raiser.The pig miser takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to
the supplier of his feed and fuel.The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the
town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit. The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her
debt with the 100 dollar bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients
there.* The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not
suspectanything.At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 dollar bill,
after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town. No one earned anything. However, the whole town
is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism . And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United
States Government is doing business today
