It seems Apple has a new “Siri-ous” problem on its hands. The iPhone’s voice-to-text feature, a tool millions rely on daily, is making waves for all the wrong reasons.

Costco’s stock price is a gravity-defying spectacle, but the laws of parabola always win. A grocery store, no matter how beloved, should not be trading at a P/E of 62.
