Yes, I also wish we had rational policy makers.

Yes, but this is exceedingly difficult to define and balance, and leads to political fights over who gets served and how. It’s the age old question of allocation of resources.

I don’t know how it’s set up, but it’s unlikely they have to make a profit since they’re being run by the state.

They are subsidized and soon to be nationalized.

There’s a couple. There’s the open access incentive to serve underserved markets. And that enables a more powerful incentive… taking over a high value route.

Incentives work… even when they include unintended consequences.

This driver always stops for Depeche Mode.

Seriously.

How do people bring themselves to go to public events on a regular basis? When I commit to say, theatre, people are depending on me. When I’m invited to a party, I feel kinship. But to just show up to an event and hope for some social inclusion? Bizarre.

Trump makes deals badly.

Still doing boat murders.

Indeed, Oregon is a special place and I’m blessed to live here.

It’s literally terrorism.

My boss keeps trying that. I don’t think it’s working.

Yes, TACO Tuesday, but we all remain hostage.

Isn't it amazing how the US can hit an apogee and nadir at the same time?

Luxembourg becomes second country worldwide to enshrine abortion rights in constitution Large majority in parliament backs amendment to Luxembourg’s highest law, with ‘freedom’ to have an abortion added to constitution

The 25th amendment isn’t happening,, folks. It’s a fairy tale. Move on to something useful like contacting your republican reps.

In case you thought we could all unite on the Artemis launch, you’d be so, so wrong. Aside from being an economic, ecological, educational, and humanitarian disaster, the regime wants to cut NASA by 23%.

I’m going to have to sit with this for a while.

Ergonomics exports right now.

The US is becoming the USSR.

Trump’s address was less than useless. Grandpa needs a long rest.

I hope Customs and Immigration doesn't hold them up too much when they return home
