At what point do airlines run out of passenger space to cut? 🤔 Flew a @cathaypacific A321neo aircraft on a 4-hour flight from HKG-KUL. The passenger in front reclined the *entire* flight -- including meals. That left just 18" between my headrest and the seatback in front 😬
Gavin Newsom Says Elon Musk is ‘Turning His Back’ on California “Regulation in California created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi-billionaire, maybe trillionaire, that he’s become … Now he’s turning his back on the state that promoted him.”

Went on a lunch date with a girl in nyc and I paid $40 for this meal. She insisted this is normal and thay my frustration at the price indicated I was either poor or european. She's from Oklahoma and makes 60k a year.
Here it is: The single greatest crime ever perpetrated against the American people. American taxpayers paid $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house an invasion for nearly four years. 20 million illegals: They had their own National Guard, their own lawyers, their own interpreters, their own caseworkers, and even their own nurses—to assist pregnant women—exclusively for birthright citizenship, while being managed by Tren de Aragua. The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was reportedly part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package intended to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on its international debt. Prior to this sweetheart deal, the hotel had been closed since 2020, having long struggled with low occupancy and being in dire need of renovation.
Professor is murdered. Squatters take over his house. "the squatters reported their own burglary to establish occupancy in the house." California Kafkaesque dysfunction. dailycal.org/news/city/crim…
What’s frustrating is that people should know their limits and so that they do not waste resources. Accidents of course happen but this isn’t an accident.

Under California SB 143 (2023), goat herders have to be paid ~ $17,000 per month effective July 1. That's because they are now entitled to minimum wage 24/7 plus applicable overtime. Unless this is fixed, goats which protect us from wildfire by consuming grass in danger zones will be slaughtered because it will too costly to keep them. Just another instance of sloppy, union-driven legislation in California! abc7news.com/post/south-bay…

It remains really remarkable that there is NO PUNISHMENT if academics do fraud in the overwhelming majority of cases. You can get caught knowingly lying and shrug it off. Admin generally won't pursue. And if you get investigated, they might let you off to avoid embarrassment.
