  • Where is the “downed the last of it before getting on the plane” coming from?

    Seems like, from what I read (and correct me if I’m wrong)

    • She got on the plane with the alcohol in an open cup
    • They said she couldn’t do that (limits on outside alcohol, open drinks in general)
    • It escalated because she seemed not to be listening
    • She was kicked off because of, at least in theory, the drink thing

    Sounds like they still overreacted, but don’t get why parent is being downvotes, or why people are inventing details.


  • Yes.

    Republicans in particular don’t give a shit about something until it affects them or their family/friends/ingroup.

    So far the horrors of the last year haven’t actually directly affected that many Americans. Or it’s abstract enough that it’s easy for people (mostly morons, which we have a crazy number of) not to connect the dots.

    When people start getting drafted in significant numbers, that’d actually have impact.

    A rapid economic downturn would do a whole lot more.
