Here they go

slavery more like yayvery

they charge extra for that now :(

The Fifth element had this covered

Sorry duder, but equating voluntary travel that by design lasts no more 24 hours with involuntary travel that lasted weeks or even months is straight up preposterous.

My first thought? Have a T-shirt made up that says “Jacksonville Asylum Staring Contest Champion 2011”

I can’t even imagine boarding this shit show let alone trying to evacuate. Having been in a plane crash (Delta 1086 on 3/5/15) I can tell you first hand that this seating arrangement would have guaranteed we’d have burned alive in a jet fuel explosion.

Haha - if they were really concerned about saving people’s lives in an accident, every seat would come with a parachute.

Just imagine trying to evacuate this shit show.

Hey man, I’ll take the tube if it means I get to LAY THE FUCK DOWN. Seriously, I’ll take “slightly higher chance of dying in the event of an accident but actually able to asleep” over “agonizing 10 hours in slightly-reclined chair from hell” any day of the week.

AS of 2013, we have the 6th highest median income. That isn’t even close to third world and a downright insult to countries with actual third world problems.

This is an interesting story. I’m surprised this wasn’t on the news. Why can’t the mayor and governor just over ride the paper work, and grant them what they were promised.

I fear for these guys because from the articles that I’ve read these workers are trying to feed their families, but some douche in the Mayor’s office probably thinks that they are chopping all the cars in NYC up for illegal terrorist funding or whatever BS they think is going on.

In related news, if you have ever been…

Wow, great read on an issue I knew absolutely nothing about only 15 minutes ago. I hope there is the opportunity for follow-up as the situation unfolds.

Why do you care more about upsetting these people than discrimination?? If these people don't want to serve everyone, they are free to go into a different line of work. It's pretty simple.

Mostly the lawyer.

I get that there needed to be some kind of punishment, but $135000? That’s just ridiculous and only adds fuel to the bigots who are using them as icons. And who gets all that money?

The crowd repeatedly loudly called close balls “out” when in fact they were in. It was very disconcerting; that was the major problem.

Serena Williams is amazing. She won her first major in 1999. Sixteen years ago! And now she's making a run at a grand slam. It's hard to think of too many athletes who have remained so dominant for so long. Tim Duncan? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Peyton Manning? Babe Ruth?
