quote:

Three years ago, President Barack Obama ordered Pentagon officials to step up their cyber and electronic strikes against North Korea’s missile program in hopes of sabotaging test launches in their opening seconds.

Soon a large number of the North’s military rockets began to explode, veer off course, disintegrate in midair and plunge into the sea. Advocates of such efforts say they believe that targeted attacks have given American antimissile defenses a new edge and delayed by several years the day when North Korea will be able to threaten American cities with nuclear weapons launched atop intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Thanks, Obama!

Ted Rall's fundamental basis about airlines making billions is off, since commercial air is one of the least profitable industries. Profit margins are only around 5-10%. Admittedly in the last few years it's gone up because the price of the ticket hasn't dropped with the price of oil. But that won't be forever.

If you have to renew your fleet, then you'll blow whatever warchest of money you got.

Edit: this isn't to sound sympathetic to airlines. But there's a reason why airlines often go under and get sold to other airlines.

I once mentioned playing a female video game character to my mom, and she spent 5 minutes working "Why don't you play male characters??" into the conversation at random intervals, regardless of topic. Conservatives are really, really weird about gender.

That's Republican politics in a nutshell. GOP politicians sucker punch their constituents in the back of the head and rummage through their pockets while they're out cold, then when the poor bastards start to come to, they help them up, and say "Jesus christ, did you see that Democrat deck you?? I think he took your wallet, to boot! We should do something about him..."

Then he said that I should study harder if I had that much time. Those were the days.

Less understandable was how Norwegian treated us: late that that night, they flew us to the neighboring French island of Guadeloupe, put us up in a filthy, dangerous motel and flew us to New York the next day — more than 24 hours later.

It's also clear he hasn't thought through his idiocy.

All seats are the same price? Well that means coach seats are going up to offset the fact that there's no first class.

Also it means retrofitting aircraft, which means those costs associated with converting first class to more coach will be passed down the consumer. Also those planes won't be in the air whole undergoing retrofit, so there will be fewer flights. Which means more demands. Which means higher prices.

Also to offset removal of $30 per bag fees every ticket is going to go up by $60 each way.


You're a loving idiot, Tad Rool.

The trick is to only buy tickets for A380 flights. That way you're guaranteed to have some legroom and there will be room available for whatever employees the airline needs to move without dragging away any boarded passenger.
