Reply to TIL your computer keyboard is 20,589 times dirtier than a toilet seat. The average office keyboard has 3,543,000 colony-forming units (CFU) of bacteria per square inch while your average toilet seat only has 172 CFU per square inch by SappyGilmore
Please define "dirtier". I'm fairly sure that bacteria is on just about everything on earth. I'm made up of several pounds of bacteria right now... and this is not just normal but healthy.
If a toilet seat is covered with e.coli, monkeypox and streptococcus... I'm going to be more concerned about that than how many of them there are. The type of microcritters you are likely dealing with... matters.
Lastly... I don't know anyone who has fallen ill from using a keyboard. Or for going to the toilet, for that matter. Unless you are immune-compromised, and you don't engage in basic hygiene... you are probably going to be fine.

Their travel services are pretty awesome, if they're going where you want to go. I use their car rental service whenever I travel - it's always the best deal.

Well I think the courts need another go at that one. Because I do have the same expectations of privacy when it comes to my money, whether I'm using B of A or Paypal. This is the whole problem with non-bank money transmission companies... they're very poorly regulated.

A bank? A fintech company? Western Union? The US postal service? SWIFT? ABA? ACH? Anyone who charges money to move money from point A to point B, I suppose. Why did you put that in quotes? Is it mentioned in the article? I got paywalled and could only read the first couple paragraphs.

"important polls". You forgot the quotes, because internet polls are about as important as staying on the phone after you speak to a customer service rep to take the automated survey.
