You’re thinking of ten years when they were at the bottom of their depreciation curve. Almost anything 1990's Japanese sports car is worth double now what it was ten years ago.

For the longest time only sick people were being tested.

That’s the rate where they take hospitalizations compared to deaths and it is that high. (Crude case fatality rates)

In that case, a flat line means that things are, in fact, still getting worse.

Not necessarily. I was in school when the style handbooks still had you type two spaces. After decades of that it’s a hard habit to break. I’m trying in this response but decades of typing muscle memory makes it a very difficult habit to break. Though I initially learned to type on typewriters, the double-space wsa…

I clicked the link to the DHS article, and I see no link to submit anything on-line. How the heck to do I do it?  My license needs to be renewed in June and I want to start this shit now.

I’m having a hard time believing this is really a problem. I’m 5'9' and I’ve always had several inches of clearance between my knees and a reclined seat. I’ve never had a airline cup knocked over by reclining seats (if you put a tall water bottle there, that’s your own fault). I don’t try to use a laptop on the tray…

Same situation for me. Tall and someone reclining in front of me makes no difference in comfort. Makes opening a laptop a pain, but doesn’t affect my legs.

Do I like it when people recline? No. But am I going to be an asshole and tell you NOT to recline? No.

nope. i dont talk to people on an airplane. ill recline thanks

I’m 6'2"...someone reclining in front of me effects my legs space 0%. If they didn’t want the seat to recline...it wouldn’t have that function. 

I don’t recommend anyone ask to recline unless they intend to yield if the other person denies their request.  It is super rude to ask with false pretense.  Expect you will be denied. Travelers are very petty, entitled, bitter.

I don’t know why. I don’t care. I’d prefer the money not be wasted, but I’m not going to try to kid myself and others by writing a wall of text about how awful the new livery is and how it’s somehow a disgrace. It’s not hideous and it’s not great. It looks fine.

Because he’s bad too. Big government is the problem, regardless of which letter in parenthesis is next to the name of the executive. Trump spends like a drunken sailor and is pushing us towards the abyss too. He’s just doing it somewhat slower than a Dem would.

Revenues went up after the tax breaks. Government programs almost always cost considerably more than estimated.

Ok, we get it. You hate Trump. You hate Trump so much you wrote a 10 page essay on the history of US Diplomacy.

Unfortunately, anyone who does care about that stuff like you and I are relegated to the grays because they want to live in their echo chamber of bad ideas.

And, just like that, US Aiways was reborn

This is one of those things that's obviously true, but most people most of the time won't actually do this and probably benefit more from the "compulsory savings" of extra taxes.
