That’s cool, I guess. Let ‘em get their rocks off. I refuse to babysit anymore. If those folks aren’t smart enough, well...it is America. The quicker more people realize this, the better. 

I’ll take that as a compliment?

People that choose to live in NYC are maniacs. Why anyone volunteers to reside there is beyond my comprehension. It’s a shit-and-piss filled cess pool of narcissists.

All true. What I find most amusing is the idea that while it’s so crowded that people are pissing and shitting on the streets, let’s go ahead and make our transportation systems underground. Right next to an ocean.

Well, it is true that there are nice people in most places. Typically it is because those nice people have traveled and seen “some” of the world. Ironically, NYC people (who have arguably the best access to every mode of transport) choose not to. I have met multitudes of people who have never left the Tri-State…

You eat what you put in the stew. If you wanna live that way, cool. There are other options...

Please expound...

He lives in NYC. They are a special kind of self-absorbed assholes. The world revolves around them, right?

I’m not sure how you cum to the conclusion that car companies are hypocritical sacks of shit. I assume it must be frustrating to work for G/O media, as it’s basically a hedge fund takeover, but that doesn’t translate to every company everywhere. There is a reason GM doesn’t make popcorn and that’s because they’d not…

Actually, Delta’s screens and selections are nice. The last r/t I did with them about a year ago, I was able to get the 2nd row of the emergency row w/no seat it front. It was like 12 feet of legroom. lol. Anyway, the screen, which I’d guess was 10" pops out of the arm rest and has full tilt and swivel. So if you…

Obv, I guess I was assuming 8% minus fees and such. I guess bonds are gonna be a thing again.

You should totally write more stuff after you have had a puff. This is fantastic writing!

Exactly. Particularly if one is more than 2 rows away and has little kids. You’d have to be a complete masochist to not step in and do the right thing in their place. Cops don’t have that luxury.

Just curious how you are estimating 8%? 

It helps that TSA (sometimes) makes sure no one has a gun or a knife bigger than the one the crew has in their safety kits. That tends to make things a bit more manageable. 

Delta can be pretty ok if you pick the right seat. Same with JetBlue if you upgrade. Virgin anything is really good, normally. At least those try on their domestic flights. Anything international is a whole different topic.

I told this not too long ago on here (I don’t think is was one of your articles, but...) about the definitive last time I’ll ever fly Spirit.

I’m all in if I can concentrate on “Florida Man” stories...

I can recall the time I rode shotgun with my step-dad to go pick his oldest up from the airport. He was mad at his adult kid for some reason (I was too young to be privy to the details of the fuck up), but the old man had a very tall Manhattan in the cupholder for the drive. He was by no means a drunk, but apparently…

There is a lot to unpack here on TMS. First time in a while, so thanks Erik!
