Amused by the desperate, earnest intensity of this cope. Of course Zheng He was real. His ships were normal size, not 450 feet or whatever. But some people just NEED that giant ship fantasy to be real.

A woman films outside a modern Chinese shopping plaza and catches storefronts with hilariously off-brand names like GUGCU, McDona, ICUIS VUTION, HERME RWES, FENDING, and BAKES STAR. The knockoffs look almost legit from a distance. Peak China bootleg game. Which misspelling wins for you?

🔴 @Delta is cutting in-flight service on 450 daily flights starting May 19, and frequent flyers are NOT happy about it. From that date, any flight under 350 miles in economy will get zero service. Nothing. Not even water. That covers a lot of routes people fly every single week for work. The old system had an express service on flights of 251 to 499 miles, which was coffee, tea, or water. That is now gone entirely for shorter hops. Now, to be fair, there is a flip side. Around 600 daily flights in the 350 to 499 mile range are actually getting upgraded from express to full beverage service. So more people overall will get a proper drink cart. First class keeps full service across the board regardless of distance. #Delta #DeltaAirLines #Aviation
So Lina Khan blocked the merger with Jet Blue because she said the loss of an airline would hurt consumers. The end result: not only the loss of an airline but mass unemployment. A socialism story.
