It was kind of a trip listening to them talk about endurance racing. I'd noticed that Habsburg kid before but didn't think much of it.

Yeah I honestly didn't know that sweet potato fries aren't healthier than regular fries, which is great. I'll stop trying to convince myself that I like them!

airports are probably not that interesting: they are basically your bog-standard private-public partnership with varying amounts of local-corruption where the director gets 15% off Billy Bob's VacayAway Timeshares in exchange for hookup up a sweet rent deal on a kiosk or getting his cousin a job for helping Aunties Wetzels Pretzeles go in. sadly (or funnily) enough, they are the only private-public partnership that one could actually say is "successful" because very rich people use them.

airlines though are very lovely and basically exist by hoovering up incredible amounts of free money and all kinds of special tax carve-outs and arranging for 50 different departments that are actually each separate shell LLCs to protect the corporation and keep assets in different places so they can restart up as a new corporation, i.e. the planes may be an asset of Beta Airline's Mechanical LLC which is definitely different from Beta Airlines Inc that runs the customer service/bookings. definitely a big race to the bottom too.

TSA is it's own seperate security-theater shitshow but i feel that's mostly just incompetent and MIC bloat than anything particularly malicious.

though the Joe Biden tiktok ban bill would give TSA/customs carte blanche power to seize anyone's electronic devices and copy all their data. thanks joe brandoin

one thing that ive always wondered about airports is who's making all the money managing the giant malls inside them. somebody has got to be "consulting" or w/e on that. ive always assumed it was dick cheney

there’s a lot of words already written here but the simple “who” is a company called HMS Host. almost every single shop in large US airports is actually operated by them regardless of actual branding of the shop.

individual airports have their specific schemes of course but if you’re looking for the company it’s them

airports are funny to me because in europe they're all privatized but here in the usa i think literally every airport except one little one nobody has heard of is government run. like in houston all the airports are owned and operated by the city of houston.

I remember flying to Japan back when they still had duty free carts and was looking at alcohol I actually knew the prices of. I think it was something like a handle of Jack Daniels that was like $5 higher than it’d be at a store

then I saw what American whiskey went for in Tokyo shops and that was actually an incredible deal from that perspective.

A 21st century endurance racing Habsburg has to hold their piss for a full day while staying hydrated (unlikely) or poo poo and piss their pants.

when there’s no friction naturally present in your life, you have to create it. people seem to go insane when they have no problems (maybe because they can’t really ignore the disparity and injustice at least unconsciously) and so the ultra-rich attempt to solve this by going insane in a different more comfortable way for them by creating something to struggle against or overcome or endure. nothing too hard or that can’t be backed out of, but something to convince themselves that they deserve their position or be able to believe “hey everyone has problems and struggles in life.” such as “having” to deal with the unpleasant physical sensation of having a poopy diaper

I’m sure that lots of them are also into it as the ruling class are all deranged sickos

This lines up with every single trust fund kid I've ever known. Literally every single problem in their lives is something they've either directly caused, or let happen through inaction when they easily had the time and means to prevent it

Pay drivers are common in all of motorsports, usually a driver has their own sponsors they bring with them wherever they go.

It definitely seems to help but it's not the end of the world. Esteban Ocon is 6'1". It's important to be physically fit though, it's pretty taxing on the body. In F1 sometimes they hit like 6Gs.
