If you have elderly parents, do what you can to be involved with their lives. There are so many scammers! So many companies looking to milk the elderly for all they can. It's beyond disgusting, and it happens DAILY. Simple things... man I don't even know, teach your elderly parents not to trust anyone. Only going to get harder with AI here.

I requested the golf cart to take him between gates. > Immediately I got a call from "American Airlines Health Alert." > They made it sound like there was an issue with the booking... "An important health alert related to your flight." And there was a "Press 1, if you're over 50" option. > Anyway long story short it was some shady marketing company selling me a panic button in case of falls. > The lady was like"these are very expensive devices"... "we'll give you the device... but you pay a small fee for monitoring every month." > Clearly she'd given the pitch 1,000 times. Didn't give me any time to talk. Finally, I was like, "Hey is there a problem with my Dad's flight, or are you just trying to sell me something?" And she hung up on me. > Fuck American Airlines. Fuck all the airlines really, but it should be illegal to target the elderly just because they asked for help with connection flights.
