They should just board back to front but they have to make everyone walk past the first class people and get jealous of their sick $$$$$

Chad Sexington posted:It's genuinely not that bad. Step out of the aisle, put down car seat, thread seat belt through holder things, buckle, tighten, strap in kid and you're done. Depends on the airline and location. Air France/charles de Gaule don’t give a gently caress about families but even in the U.S. for international and domestic flights most airlines have priority boarding for families.

They spent it on houses and cars and horses and parties and weddings and divorces and jewelry and clothes and trains. I think the narrative is to rally support for the billionaires and the inheritors of the billionaires.

poemdexter posted:Imagine the feeling of trying to strap a car seat into a window seat, with less space to work in than a car, while half of the passengers are staring daggers into the back of your head and wishing you get sucked out the plane. Car seats actually get certified for plane use; I’m sure people do try to use non-certified, and it might work, but technically it’s not allowed. But also, that’s why you pick up the Cosco Scenera at Walmart: can be got for cheap when on sale, certified to fly, relatively compact, fits kids < 2 years, and pretty light weight. Having flown with our young kids a number of times, I honestly can’t imagine not using a car seat when they’re that small, if only from a safety perspective.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:lol oh no, won't someone think of the descendants of immense wealth I think this is just a puff piece generated to fill the Post Gazette's content needs and also help the book author find rich people who want to try to preserve generational wealth. This story gets repeated a lot in personal finance realms during estate planning discussions. The easy narrative is that early generations make the money and, at some point, the spoiled children dissipate it all unless you set up a trust and other financial vehicles designed to protect your descendants from themselves.

This might be where I expose myself to yet more ridicule from this thread, but I thought people didn't bother with child seats for airplanes (unless you're dealing with an infant, I guess) and just went straight for special extra harnesses. https://www.amsafe.com/kidsflysafe-com/ I don't know if this would have helped for that Alaska Air blowout though.

maybe worry about that when the average american gets more than 30 minutes of exercise a week. looking at this chart, he's definitely an outlier (panel B).  https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0194697

CARES is FAA certified for kids > 1, but still typically not recommended by a lot of pediatricians and others. It’s better than if you were just strapping them into a seat or holding them, but still not as safe as a car seat.

Gearhead posted:'We aren't billionaires, please don't pay attention to the institutions our ancestors set up to make sure we don't actually have to work. Don't examine this too closely.' I was wondering why Victor Haghani's name was familiar. He was part of Long Term Capital Management. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management This was a big meltdown that predates most of your births, so I just thought this was worth pointing out. quote:The biggest blunders in financial planning, at all wealth levels, come when a family’s or individual’s spending, investing and appetite for risk is out of proportion with what they can afford, especially as their life circumstances change. He's just doing it for you guys.

You will therefore still have some room to make impactful cuts if the circumstances need it. The Fed wants you to land on a field full of the most luxurious pillows.

This is true. The BMI thing was iirc invented in the 1900s and has a little bit of race science behind it People weren't, say, doing professional workout regimens back then
