during school days.

Literally, the first sentence. So, no. Not even the first school to ban cell phone use during the school day.

There is an inverse relationship between what someone has accomplished while in the military and how much they brag about it after they get out.

Well, Airbus was victim to the fraud as well. The supplier created fake documentation. Both Boeing, Spirit and Airbus have all said the tested the discrepant metal and it was the correct alloy it conformed to standards.

You're right but wrong about how comfortable flying used to be.
Flying used to be heavily regulated and was heavily subsidized by air mail contracts. Aircraft were roomier and much more comfortable. After some trust and monopoly busting, and deregulation, the loss of air mail contracts, then share holders took more control.
Then over the years prices have declined, leg room has declined, comfort has declined, passengers are now treated like sardines, being flight crew used to be a glamorous, sought-after job. We still romanticize PanAm. Now AA attendants are looking to strike because they're making poverty wages.
You can find stories of nightmare passengers and crews from all over the world if you look, but Americans are going to hear American news. I studied aeronautics and aviation in college.

When there is no legitimate opposition, it frees the wolves to do whatever they want.

Voting helps, but white supremacists have a reputation of being armed. The cops are hesitant because they don't hold the monopoly on violence. Perhaps other groups should establish such a reputation. It'd be nice if the Socials Rifle Association was more organized and vocal.

Power Wagon is an old badge, dating back to the 40's. I believe it was the first 4x4 civilian truck... I'm likely wrong. The heavy duty versions were called Power Giants.
