There is a serious issue with right wing politics in that it's now mainstream to be absolutely batshit crazy and in denial of the most obvious facts.

Which is a problem.

The Telegraph, going full Nazi:

The maths suggests just under 500 people per flight (2M/4,200 flights), which would denote larger aircraft, or even worse conditions, than Ryanair passengers are used to!

Just put ‘em in the baggage hold, wheel wells, overheads, etc. Cram ten in the cockpit; four in each lav; a half dozen in the galleys. Put some hanging straps down in the aisles like on the N or the 7 in NYC. Come on — I expect more creativity!

Broke up with his wife and started dating a young media company mogul woman who's helping him with his social media development.

The kind of thing Democrats would have condemned in a Republican but goes unmentioned when a Democrat does it

But yeah, he is rising up as a new media darling as his new girlfriend is helping him.on the 'how to be an influencer' act. He also smells blood in the Democrats leadership waters so i think he is going to go for Schumer's job in the Senate.

The sharks are circling everywhere.

I looked into him and it turns out even the Democrats can’t do scandal properly either these days, he’s not even old enough to be her father.

I appreciated much of what he had to say; for those centre-right Dems, he could be seen as a more palatable version of Bernie Sanders.

The big names are carefully setting the stage for their nomination campaigns, they're steering clear of any major political missteps until their official campaigns are launched after the midterms.

This creates a prime opportunity for fresh leadership to emerge and steer the party in a new direction. The old guard Schumer, Pelosi, and the like, have been well past their used-by date for a while now, new leadership is needed to chart the course forward.
 
This is quite the news. This is a lot of money.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion “investment framework” in the U.S., the White House announced Friday.

The new framework “will substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing,” according to the administration.

The UAE committed to the investments after President Trump hosted the UAE’s national security adviser, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, and the heads of major UAE sovereign wealth funds and corporations for a meeting in the Oval Office earlier this week.

Khaldoon was at this.

Shuttle by United? That was probably ubiquitous out by you!

Do you know why United scrapped it? Because the union demanded the pilots get paid the same as other 737 pilots!!

I remember Ted flew the short haul routes to a few of the same places Southwest used to go; all coach A319s/320s, right? An airline within an airline. The shoe's certainly on the other foot now, though. I do still fly SW sometimes out of OAK but no farther than within CA or Vegas -- maybe PHX or PDX if I have to. The sardine can and no power outlets I can't do for any longer than those flights. But OAK doesn't have the delays SFO can have esp. in winter and it's same distance to my house.
