Biden was middle-of-the-road and shone only, because his opponent is a cheese-brained mob boss. President Biden should have made it clear that he will not seek reelection from day 1 and used the time to hand-pick a strong successor.

It is the same for any electorate, at any time, unfortunately. From the time of Solon and Pericles all the way up to today. People do not want hard truths, candor, limits. They’d rather think (and be told) that they are exceptional and intelligent and that the future is bright.

Listen, this all mysterious circumstances. Plane fall from sky like oligarch fall from balcony. How? All his own. Mysterious!

It’s fine, really. They should do away with next-day-delivery and afford their personnel breathing space. I’m not going to die if I receive my tacky plastic ornament (or my new PS9) on Friday instead of Monday.

Do I want to survive a nuclear apocalypse? I don't think so. Just hope I go quickly.

It is 18:17 and I am on the train, on my way to work. I get off at 08:00 o’ clock tomorrow, Christmas day. Happy holidays, everyone!

I really enjoyed that game!

Let’s make the final step out of the circle then: airlines should be made to provide appropriate containers and ship the equipment. The end.

The legal age for driving should be raised to 21. Eighteen-year-olds have no business operating a car (or, God, a motorcycle) and don’t even get me started on sixteen-year-olds. Probably no one should be driving, humans are just pleasure-driven monkeys, but let’s not go that far for this QOTD. Twenty-one. There.

We may have a winner!

There is a big discussion here in Germany to impose a speed limit on the Autobahn. The discussion has been ongoing for probably 20 years, because it is equivalent to a discussion about selling the statue of liberty.

This cannot be an unpopular opinion.

Semis (and all trucks) should have separate speed limits. Greetings from the land of the Autobahn :)

Very psychoanalytic. I approve.

Any aircraft cam carry its load safely. A 737 can load a wheelchair and carry it without damage. The airlines just need to load it as carefully as the Emir’s horses. In a special container and... I don’t know. Without throwing it around?

That is a bitter comment. Not untrue, mind you.

Airlines can safely carry luxury cars and the Emir's racehorses, but not a wheelchair. Right.

I am ot stepping onto an airliner with a single pilot.

It’s a little high, but we will agree on a 30k-ish price. NP.
