i have to travel a bit for business. my boss and his boss have to fly business class, as do i. We have to pay for our own airfare with our own cards and hope the company pays us back. anything not listed "economy" is denied. i have no idea who is actually flying in business class.

air travel is going to grow hugely. assuming we have an earth, China plans to double the number of airports in the next 20 years, Latin American air travel should double, and airbus has opened a training center to help get some of the 200k new pilots they say they'll need. air travel is so hugely terrible for the environment but those planes are flying with or without my rear end in the seat, so i dont beat myself up too badly for flying occasionally so i can keep my job. but truthfully, theres nothing i do on location that I couldn't accomplish with a video feed. also, at the office. i should be working from home

georgia was founded as a place for white slaves and they had a no black slaves allowed policy when it was founded. they were to have border guards and everything. that embargo on african slaves lasted about 20 years. there were strata of indentured servitude and animosity among the classes forever here

It's really good apparently but paying more for veggie is putting people off. when we moved to iowa, my wife was excited that a restaurant in town had a veggie burger. turns out after further investigation, it was simply a beef burger with lettuce, onion, and tomato. i bought some beyond patties a couple days ago because they were on sale at the grocery store. havent tried em yet, but im glad to read good things

i remember when the ioc cancelled wrestling in future olympics for some crazy bougie poo poo involving horses or something? Modern pentathlon? they eventually had to relent since it is the only sport since it has been around since the first ancient olmpics and requires like no equipment and everyone got pissed. wrestling owns and is like the most meritocratic sport next to running

my wife might spend around that for personal grooming. eyebrow/mustache wax, color and cut each month (she keeps her hair cut very short). I'm on the hook for like $20 every 5-6 weeks ($15 cut, $5 tip). $94 for the average American seems out of whack, but I'm a goon who hasn't ever really given a poo poo about having well styled hair. I couldn't even begin to guess what a "good" cut costs for a man at an upscale place
