  • You must fly domestic?

    Had a situation where an alliance partner got me to the long haul carrier late, missed the flight. The alliance partner (united) was responsible for rebooking-- offered me a downgrade in service class that same day and an added connection or next day on the original airline, class, and number of connections.

    Note the “next day, maintain service” option was not coming with a hotel voucher. Work trip, they paid the hotel, but god forbid it was someone who didn’t work for a large mnc…

    This was also due to weather so, “deal with it, because Jesus wanted it this way” prevailed in the contract of carriage.













  • Maybe not always, but there are plenty of senators who are fundamentally there for life (McConnell).

    This also means theres a lower chance for those who truly can’t be bought, because running a nationwide campaign is expensive. They will all need money–most of it from corporate. Could you imagine Citizens United being decided by an elected court?

    The one advantage would be that the court would more rapidly match the public’s views, and not take decades to move along with the country… But we still elected a raving lunatic like trump.

    I think Bidens proposals strike a reasonable balance; a 5-7 year elected term I fear forces more money into the equation and doesn’t give any opportunity to fix the thing.
