Eventually, one of these death traps is going to murder a lot of innocent passengers....and because we live in a stupid world, no doubt Boeing's stocks will skyrocket at the first sign of the news.

TBF Boeing would love for the 747s to finish phasing out, lots of profits to be made once the FAA lets them expand their current lines.

Yeah I've only lived here for about 10 years so all my price recollections in the area are from like, recent times not generations ago or whatever. Granted a lot of the price hikes for at least restaurants were already occurring pre-covid, I deffo remember when it went from like 20 bucks for two people to eat for like a mid place, to 30 over a handful of years presumably as rents were exploding. Nowadays a casual brunch is like the equivalent of special occasion datenight in cost it's crazy. My wife has had the same steady career since she got here (professor at local uni) and her salary has only gone up like 15 or so % in that same time. They actually cut salaries during covid lol and never brought them back outside of just their annual CoL stuff otherwise it'd be higher.

We're lucky because we got our house at a good time and I've been very fortunate in my career progression, just keep lucking into knowing the right person at the right time to hop jobs for a significant boost in pay but it's crazy to think of how much our quality of life would have dropped if we were just renting and holding the same jobs over the last decade, I've legit never gotten a substantial raise after my first year at any place I've worked without changing jobs.
