The story ends: After 2 mo, sending all the documents 3X, spending 4 hrs on the phone (mostly on hold), and speaking to at least 8 difft reps, today I spent 40 min at my local bank & will have an account by Fri. I hope USAA Survivor Relations does better for others.

On 12/21, I sent in the required paperwork for the 3rd time since mid-October. As of 12/27, USAA has still not opened this account. I got a call from the USAA CEO's office today, but they weren't available 3 separate times when I called back. The saga continues.

I hung up yesterday after 2.5 hrs, having talked to five reps, spent a cumulative 1.5 hrs on hold, and sent the required documents again (first time was a month ago), but still no account opened. I DM’d the help account.

ptech_cyber offers hacking services. Don't know how that would help, and don't really want to know. I just need my bank to do its job.

Whether the topic is:
- Climate change
- GMOs
- Nuclear power
- Vaccines
- Homeopathy
- Astronomy
- Evolution
- or Covid-19...
...People who disagree most with the scientific consensus know less about the topic, but they think they know more.

@USAA, @USAA_help, I will DM the help account. I mentioned to the rep a few min ago that I just tweeted about all this, and suddenly she was helping and not putting me off. I re-sent the pprwrk from a month ago, but now I have a promise that an account will be opened asap.

Who else is seeing a flood of right-wing bots, trolls and other twits in their feed since last week? I’ll mute and block to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, but I’m definitely less enthusiastic about this Elon-owned platform.
