They do have a separate number for preferred clients as opposed to the automated crap you have to deal with using the regular number. It's called the Premium Services line: 866-204-0150. I've noticed that they're generally more willing to help than the other number. I'm a preferred client as well and it has been great. All my interactions have been smooth and helpful.

After Warren Buffett: Berkshire Prepares for Life Without Legendary Leader Berkshire Hathaway’s octogenarian CEO does ‘everything humanly possible’ to make sure culture grows without him http://www.wsj.com/articles/after-warren-buffett-berkshire-prepares-for-a-life-without-legendary-leader-1430414729

Yup I agree. Wrong priorities.

I hope Project Fi from Google does well.

Had a friend who argued to his wife that it was cheaper to go to the bar to watch the games, plus there was a sense of community there. Around here bar's have deals for Steeler games. Usually you can get a Miller or Coors for $2, figure five beers and the NFL "costs" $160 or so. I'd say he had a point considering that seems to be the average monthly Comcast bill around here. Yeah but what are the costs when after said 5 beers the waitress starts looking more and more like Megan Fox? -CM No snacks? No nachos? Wings? When I goto a bar, I somehow always spend more than I would like.

This is why some sort of car sharing should end up being the default car ownership option, imo. I don't enjoy anything about owning a vehicle, if I could walk to the end of the block and be sure one was there I would absolutely sell my vehicle and do that instead. (Or definitely once my kid is out of his car seat, which is non-trivial to install) I drive to my CVS/Safeway 3 blocks away because I don;t want to carry my stuff home. It's bad I know....
