I can understand that someone might think communism is a better solution and worth a shot - but what I can’t understand is the China/Russia apologia. Trying to convince people what is plainly happening isn’t is a form of mental illness.
Which is fine for you, but other people might not like existing on an instance entirely devoted to bootlicking and silencing any differing opinions (that are even left of mainstream… but not left enough).
People joining .ml should know what they’re getting.
If there’s a sizeable Jewish population, or probably non-Christian population, I bet they open on Mondays.
Not anymore for most pilots. Pay has skyrocketed.
That thankfully isn’t true anymore. Pilots are now very highly compensated from the jump.
I think there’s some willing suspension of disbelief that is required as an element of any question like this. You have infinite money and everyone takes it as face value.
You’re entitled to that opinion. You’re not entitled to misrepresent 70 year old letters to say something they didn’t say.
They’re referring to a political party in Israel not Israel itself.
Is that in a different post or comment I can’t see? Their original still refers to sterilization.
Lots of folks can destroy a business for a while if they try to. This is a weird dick measuring contest.
And feels vaguely sexist towards people in marketing.
Fair enough sorry - but it’s weird to bother asking for a source and then not caring that the source doesn’t back up the claim being made?
Sorry - does that mean you think contraception and sterilization are the same thing?
Probably should edit your comment from “secretly sterilized” to “allegedly secretly provided contraceptives”.
Being sterilized and being given contraceptives are wildly different things.
Probably should replace the word sterilized with given contraceptives.
They’re wildly different things.
The report is just repeating allegations and asking for an investigation. Did no one else read it?
It is not a finding of fact or anything similar.
The report here also does not include sources or evidence.
The current membership of the HRC is: Albania, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burundi, China, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Dominican Republic, France, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Malawi and the Netherlands.
Do with that what you will.
It won’t be popular here - but that report is just a report of allegations and is also not substantiated by anything?
Again, nothing a call or showing up in person can’t fix. It’s just risk mitigation.
ATL-BCN turns around after two hours because of diarrhea down the aisle
Big yuck.

Rumor: Delta changing Credit Card SkyClub access rules
In the face of overcrowding of Delta's Sky Club lounges, last year the airline limited lounge access to within 3 hours of departure. Then they made several more changes. But These measures haven't been enough.
Adult Film Star Threatened With Ejection From Delta Flight Over Her Attire
Lauren Phillips shared that she was flying Delta Air Lines first class and "threaten[ed] by a employee that she won't let me on the plane bc of the way I'm dressed."
I’m always a little torn with stuff like this. Turning FAs into the fashion police probably isn’t right, but I think a certain percentage of this is designed for publicity on behalf of the offender.
I’m not sure what she was wearing was so out of line, but I didn’t see the bottoms.

We Finally Know Why The TSA Is Cracking Down On CLEAR At Airport Security
The TSA has been working to end the 'skip showing ID' process for people identified through CLEAR, citing a security incident last year. They wouldn't end skipping security lines, just not showing ID which is something you can't always count on now to begin with. We finally know what happened.
Looks like CLEAR (which Delta is an investor in) wasn't as thorough as they should have been.

They were flying Detroit to San Juan back in February where they'd pick up a cruise the following day. But right after their flight took off, the bride realized she left her passport at home. Tha...

Delta Skirts LGA Perimeter Rule, Adds Weekly A220 Transcon flights
The A220 is a great plane, but only flying on Saturdays will certainly limit the appeal.

Delta Opens The Kimono On Their SkyMiles Credit Card, Now About 1% Of The Whole Country’s GDP
Before the pandemic the American Airlines co-brand portfolio had the largest charge volume, but American, United and Delta were all over $100 billion annually. Delta now says they’re “approaching 1% of U.S. GDP” on their co-brand cards, which would be ~ $255 billion. Inflation helps, but it’s reaso...
