I think there’s more than a few people around here that skipped a lecture or two of Econ 101. 

I know nothing about their methodology, but this list seems a hell lot more intuitive.

Are we sharing our favorite Langewiesche pieces? Here’s my submission, also a maritime one: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/04/inside-el-faro-the-worst-us-maritime-disaster-in-decades

“Management and finance” are doing their jobs. The UAW folks going to jail were selling out their members.

Bingo. 

I’m pretty sure Rolls also builds fewer units, but sells each one for more.

I had it too, and at a younger age (and presumably more of it) - but I’ve noticed a dramatic difference in how folks three or four years younger than me have been raised. Everyone puts an iPad in their kid’s hand just as soon as they’re old enough to hold the damn thing up now.

Yes. I graduated five years after you.

Early twenties checking in. This tracks closely with my experience.

I feel you - the cross-partner IT sucks, and not just with Delta. I do British Airways/Iberia often and it drives me nuts!

Interestingly, that’s not strictly the case. While cabotage—a flight between two points inside a country—is prohibited in just about every country in the world (well, if we’re being precise, what’s prohibited is the sale of tickets: Qantas flies LAX-JFK, but can’t sell tickets on that sector alone), the U.S. - EU air…

It’s not the FAA.

People who don’t live in Boston, Atlanta, Minneapolis, or Seattle.

Please find out what caused the car to be lemon’d in the first place.

There sure are a lot of dumb people with a lot of money out there. 

I can’t be the only person who’s not impressed by keyless entry and start, right? I mean - is it that hard to hit a button, get in the car, and turn the key?

Amateur hour.
