I absolutely hated flying the last few times I had to, and those were in 2014, 2018, and 2021 respectively. I guess I'm just not getting on a plane ever again.

For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

The alternative is going to be driving on neglected highways that will destroy your vehicle or taking toll roads. Traveling across America is about to become a lot less safe and a lot more inconvenient. I wonder how passenger railways are doing?
I can take a train to LA, and from LA Chicago, at that point I just have to rent a car and drive a few hours. I'll be fine with my EV and E-bike.
That being said, passenger rail sucks in flyover country. It is kinda decent near the eastern seaboard.
I don't understand how the American people are just letting this happen in plain sight.
Half of the country is proudly sticking their head in the sand and spouting propaganda because they're too stupid to think objectively. The other half is genuinely worried, but seriously, what are they supposed to do?
Kind of curious how large of a law suit Verizon could throw at Starlink.
Not big enough to scare the richest man on Earth with the ear of the most powerful man in America.
Luigi doesn't talk to Elmo.
We don't have a choice.
Aren't y'all like super fucking proud of the 2nd amendment? This is EXACTLY what the slave owners that founded the country had in mind. At least I thought so, I'm not a Yank
I have loads and loads of guns. Who am I to shoot? It takes organization for effective action and the left has convinced a great many of us that we don't need guns.
So while there are still plenty of gun-toting libs, how are we to get together? Right-wing militias operate with carte blanche, while if we lefties even whisper we're investigated.
All I can do is defend my wife and home.

The French managed it with guillotines, and that took a LOT more effort, since you can't keep one in your coat.
I guess some might, I personally think being able to own anything other than a pistol is stupid. To the Americans who think we can overturn our government, they're delusional.
Lmao these shameless fucks
A bloke who has $400b needs more billions
Can't fucking wait for planes to be coordinated solely by unsupervised AI. :(
Have i already taken my last flight? I hate the process even when it's ostensibly safe! Are airlines even on board with this? This is the industry that recently had the power to shorten covid sick time with a phone call...
So to take down an airport now, it just takes a group of people to show up with Starlinks and start torrenting at the gate...
No this can't be self dealing. He said he'd recuse himself if it was a conflict of interest!
Bahahahahaha, Replicans are to embarrassed to be wrong they aren't going to say or do a damn thing.
