Yeah... And train travel has been wiped off the geography of N.America... Practically wiped off. Going west this past month... Had open seat between wife & myself. Coming back full, crammed like sardines... They want respect, at least give a seat the form factor of a car ride, can't? Bring back trains or other communal travel. Roads aren't cutting it either. Anyway, it's all about the social hierarchy. Bus travel in the air. Just deal with the hoi polloi, unwashed masses, can't convert them.

...My arse... People smoked on planes back in day... lol

Sorry Mods... I meant this for OTW... NOT sure if I can move it... I THINK... They want to go beyond the simple crass-wear... Like no shorts & pajamas now. Anyway... They cram you in like it's the middle passage. "Greyhound in the Sky"... That's what buses were for in old days, what planes are today... Filthy too, but they want you to wear your best. Just fly me on a drone in an hermetically sealed tube an be done with it! 😆 Golden Age...

Hitler was on Stalin's right. We aligned with Stalin in WWII /EndThread

Thanx for the confidence in Big Government during these wonderful times! Got me on-board!😆

From a few years ago, but still, they always find new ways when avarice is present! Prices are through roof with everything, just gonna make the cheats get more creative...

Hookers are cheap... It's the blow that's expensive. ...You know, tariffs. 😆🤣

FWIW. We are in an age when standards are being thrown out the window. I wouldn't trust any past norm to hold true anymore. Everything is being interrupted.

Can take a boat... Boats can be operational... Working it for 50 to 100 years...

Even worse, California won!😆 The 5th largest economy in world, Canada 🇨🇦 the 13th...😏

The "playoffs" were the 150+ game season. Win in June.

For most of the last 121 Series only the 2 best teams... Best in each League faced off in WS. ie: No playoffs. Early series were best of nine too.

I like your logic...👍 😉

HFBD! How old? 39? 🍻

You don't wanna know. 😏

Listening to SiriusXM "Life w/John Mayer"... ...John says that Kenny raises the second verse key so Dolly can sing in a place that's comfortable for her voice... Kenny, "song singing chivalry!"😉
