Between this and the airbag thing, the USA just continues to blow my mind like, “Just when you couldn’t think they couldn’t be second-class citizens any more… BAM!!! Here’s some shit developed nations didn’t even consider could be a thing.”

We’d send aid, but with that GDP, just assumed everyone super rich. You’re all super rich, right? Well looked after? Healthy? Educated?.. Aight I’ll stop.

You’re all (mostly) actually really nice people and don’t deserve this shit. Excellent huggers too.

Glad you qualified it with “mostly.” I hate this hell hole and can’t wait to leave.

My girlfriend is Mexican. Her family have property all over the country. She’s also a Chilean resident. We’re considering Santiago. (Mexico is a mess most places.) I’ve also considered a few locations near the Spain/France border, but that would take more effort.

I’m an independent consultant and can work anywhere.

On flights with sufficient seating, I’ve seen families shuffle themselves around to find seating together. Glad there will be a better way to do this now

Biden ordered the FAA to tell airlines to not charge to seat families with young kids together. This was respected by most airlines, but not all, I think. Alaska Airlines, at least, was good about it, but it was annoying since you always had to do it at the gate and was subject to availability.

Inb4 the airline companies cry “Chevron” and the Supreme Court gets to decide strike it down.

That’s not what the Chevron doctrine was. The Chevron doctrine stated that courts should defer to agency interpretations of the law.

I’d pay not to sit next to kids.

Maybe that’s the route they should take. Doesn’t even matter if you’re a parent, perhaps you’re just sick of the little shits

I would pay so much money for “no children allowed” flights.
