It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
"More than 24 apes have died so far as a result of the conflict …The true death toll is probably higher."

The International Energy Agency is calling for people to cut oil demand by working from home more, flying less and driving slower, as the Iran war rocks global energy markets. The agency says those measures, alongside steps such as sharing cars and switching to electric cookers, are needed to help with the “largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market”, which has pushed the price of a barrel of oil above $100.

Excerpt from a New York Times article about the Trump administration's war planning: There were few voices lobbying against military action. One exception was Tucker Carlson, the right-wing podcaster and close ally of the president, who has met with him in the Oval Office three times in the past month to argue against an attack. He outlined the risks to U.S. military personnel, energy prices and Arab partners in the region if the United States went to war with Iran. He told the president that he should not be boxed in by Israel, arguing that its desire to attack Iran was the only reason the United States was even considering a strike. He encouraged Mr. Trump to restrain Mr. Netanyahu. The president said he understood the risks of an attack, but he conveyed to Mr. Carlson that he had no choice but to join a strike that Israel would launch.

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.
