I’ve said this a million times but being silent on issues of this magnitude is not “being smart.” It’s being a god&damned coward and history will remember them that way.

Contracts can’t be terminated by only one party just overnight. Obviously, it depends on what’s actually written, but... if the contract was for a set amount of time, the school is very likely still on the hook for whatever its obligations are. I highly doubt that there was a “patriotic advertising” clause in the…

10 drills a year!? Are you kidding me? That’s practically abuse.

I had an excellent experience with them. The airport screwed up, but Southwest still treated the situation like it was the airline’s fault. Hotel rooms and travel vouchers for all. It was pretty great service.

I had an issue on a Southwest flight last year, that was actually the fault of the departure airport, not the airline, and they still treated us so well. The plane needed to get topped off on some kind of fluid, and the airport maintenance took like 2 hours to get to us, so most of the plane ended up missing our…

Yes, that is indeed how the Senate works as opposed to the House.

I’m one of those people who likes to get a refund. I know “interest free” blah blah.... but I don’t miss the 80-ish bucks a month. I use my refund as my vacation money, and it’s nice.

John Oliver explains this so well (surprise surprise)...

I’ve only heard anecdotes from others about the old days, because I’m not old enough to have flown solo pre-9/11, but I hear that airport purchases used to be basically standard retail price. Basically the same as Mall prices. If that’s true, the people who say it’s all because of airport costs have a flaw in that…

Counter-counter point: Connections are also a thing. I can eat before I go to the airport and then be at another airport 6 hours later and be hungry again.

WOOOOOWWWWW. That adds a whole new level to how awful that commission is... that his behavior was a documented problem which had caused the city legal liability... and they still brought him back.

This is an extremely good take. Thank you.

Reading this story in June and I just felt the chill of winter on my whole body.

But just keep all this in mind the next time Republicans start talking about “government waste.”

Remember when Howard Dean yee-hawed too hard at a rally one time and went from the leader of the primaries to literally dead last?

Don’t forget about that time he asked for spicy mustard on a hot dog!

I hate t fall into the trap of prescribing how innocent vs. guilty people act, but....

God, don’t make her recount it on live TV, you fucking ghoul.

You mean “politics” is more than just a word for arguing?

If she divorces him, she loses her investment. Considering the Trumpiness of Donald Trump, I’m sure they have a prenup and that it’s very stacked in his favor.
