They have an amazing art museum and lots of good restaurants.
Wow, it is refreshing to see someone recognize being mistaken, accept the correction, and be thankful to have learned something, so thank you as well.
So it will get here with fusion, flying cars, hydrogen cars, and jetpacks?
Thank you for that.
I’ve long thought we need a non-military service branch much like you describe and for much the same resson.
In my experience it isn’t just “rich” kids but anyone that grows up with minimal adversity and exposure to people outside their immediate (sheltered) bubble that are really hard to work alongside. Anyone who hasn’t been told “no” enough to understand the world doesn’t cater to them, really.
Just wait until you or someone close develops an autoimmune disease, then the trust meter falls off a cliff during round after round of tests and “you’re fine”.
Or if you have a bunion that skews your big toe 35° but they tell you it’s not bad enough for surgery and there’s nothing to be done for it.
Or…yeah we could be here all day just for the system’s failings for me and my wife.
And there’s our lack of or inadequate mental health coverage and care.
And that’s just one example.
The most glaring generator of mistrust for decades now is the thing citizens discuss all the time but is never addressed: our out of control military budget.
We could solve every one of our country’s financial issues multiple times over by reducing the military budget, and not even drastically so.
Our military was tasked with an audit to reign in waste and spending. They couldn’t pass an audit so they were just given a free pass, no penalties or repercussions. The first audit was 2017 and they failed to pass. They failed two more since then. Senator Sanders intoruduced a bill in 2021 and again in 2023 which required an audit and was supposed to impose penalties for failure, it’s been introduced so we’ll see how that goes.
If their “carry on” does not meet the size restrictions they absolutely will gate check it at cost. That’s their fault not listening or reading bag size restrictions orbwillfully ignoring them in hopes of forcing an oversize bag into the overhead.
Ah. It’s sad I had to ask for clarification as to which one.
my state is currently covering up the murder of a transgender child
What?
We could study the psychological effects of watching one’s limbs being fed into a wood chipper.
Y’know…for science.
I watched Beverley Hills Cop as a kid. Axel F is the only thing I know how to play on a keyboard. I did not realize Axel F was Axel Foley until a couple years ago.
I was a flight attendant with TWA, so take this as what it is: advice from 20+ years ago.
If all the overhead bins are full they will gate check your bag; tag it, send it down the external stairs of the jetway, and it will go in the belly with the other checked luggage.
issue is less about humans and more about americans, specifically
Yes
See how deeply entrenched scarcity mentality is in every aspect of our lives.
You are not alone.
We found the thin skinned tankie.
