Additionally, Marriott and MGM have announced a new points transfer system. Under the new scheme, 10 MGM points can be converted into 8 Marriott points and vice versa. However, this results in a loss in each direction. A minimum of 1,000 points must be converted per transaction, with an annual cap of 30,000 points.

Meanwhile, questions have been raised about the continued existence of an old terminal at Newark Airport and a defunct tunnel toll plaza in New York City. Public sentiment remains unclear.

In other news from social media, user pjeffa commented on the choices faced by public company CEOs before video interviews: "As a public company CEO, right before you do a video interview, you have a choice to make, and it’s a hard one. You can either do cocaine or not do cocaine. Brian seems to consistently choose the former."
