@cd_hooks Bad PR - but would expect emergency fuel surcharge on top of original ticket price.
English
Sincere question: if jet fuel prices triple is there a chance airlines rescind tickets already sold for later in the year at a cheap price?

@NEWSGUYSULLY @SoundTransit Do they just throw it away or steal it?

@Chizitere_xyz I know David very well as he was looking back at me in the bathroom mirror while I was shaving in that shitty apartment living like a college student.
It’s a hard road back, but the best ‘revenge’ is coming back from the grave stronger, better and a new man after being nuked.
English
We have a guy at my firm. Let’s call him David. David is a senior manager, always the first to crack a joke, buys the team lunch on Fridays, and dresses impeccably. A true "stand-up guy" who seems to have his entire life figured out.
But nobody knew that for the past 8 months, David has been going home to a completely empty 1-bedroom apartment, sleeping on a single mattress on the floor. His colleagues just assume his family relocated abroad. The truth? Family court stripped him of everything.
He spent 12 years breaking his back to build a beautiful home for his wife and two daughters. When the marriage crashed, the court ordered him out to "maintain stability for the kids." He left with just a suitcase. Now, he pays the rent for that big house, plus their school fees, while struggling to feed himself.
But the money isn't even the worst part. It’s the crippling silence. David went from waking up to his daughters jumping on his bed every morning, to having to negotiate with his ex for a 5-minute WhatsApp video call. He was legally demoted to an "every other weekend" uncle.
Men are carrying mountains of grief and hiding it behind office banter and hanging out with the boys. David sits at the lounge with the guys after work, laughing and buying drinks. But when he drives home, he sits in his parked car for an hour in the dark just to cry before facing his empty apartment.
Society has convinced us that a man's heartbreak over losing his family isn't valid. We expect them to lose their homes, their daily access to their kids, and their peace of mind, and just show up to work on Monday in a suit like nothing happened.
Check on your strong male friends. The system is breaking them in half, and they are bleeding out in absolute silence.

@GreyHairOpsGuy Be me > 2008 GFC.
You described it almost to a ‘T’
Except I haven’t remarried and fortunately fate & fair weather marked me for the Phoenix 🐦🔥
I have never been happier, financially stable and on top of it.

Here’s what to expect:
1. The world will enter recession
2. You will get laid off
3. You will drain your retirement savings
4. You will fall into addiction
5. Your wife will divorce & take the kids
6. You will finally get a new job for less $
7. You will overcome addiction
8. You’ll remarry someone who ‘gets you’
9. Rinse, repeat

It feels strangely validating to watch the rest of the world get their faces ripped off for once, when historically it’s always just been us poor O&G folks. I don’t like it—I’ve been there—but I’m here to bear witness.

@theoldworldshow Even more pronounced with France - literally altered their demographics permanently. You can draw a line from the staggering French losses of the cream of their male population to contemporary France.

20% of Old Etonians, the men expected to govern Britain and trained from birth to do so, died in the war
The best men of every class perished in Flanders, as it was they who rallied to the colors immediately and were chewed up for years
The Great War was probably the most dysgenic conflict in history, as the weak or cowardly remained behind the lines as the strong and brave perished on a titanic scale
It is such a tragedy

@BasilTheGreat It sickens me to see this, but until white women become the most virulent rascists out there then you know they still don’t get it.
And we’re a long ways away from that realization - so the beatings will continue until the Kumbaya is beaten out of you.

It's absolutely awful to watch
They shouldn't have to grow up like this
There is an epidemic of violence against little white girls in the west

@PNWConservative The lower end economic ladder will be crushed. They keep voting for this so perhaps it is deserved.
English
So Washington State Democrats said they passed an income tax to help the people at the bottom.
Except there was no sales tax relieve (the tax the bottom pays the most of their income on)….
That’s right. It’s just another money grab under the pretense of helping the poors….
Portland Moderate.@pdxmoderate
The chart compares Portland with the largest cities across eight Western states. The result is hard to ignore: at income levels of $50,000, $75,000, $100,000, and $150,000, Portland residents face a higher tax burden than residents of every one of those cities—except Los Angeles. This didn’t happen by accident. Since 2009, more than 20 major tax initiatives have been piled on top of households and businesses. These include the “Pre-School for a Few” tax, the Corporate Activity Tax, the Supportive Housing Services tax, the Portland Gross Receipts Tax, and a growing list of others. Most of these taxes conveniently bypass the General Fund, instead financing new programs and bureaucracies while the city’s basic services remain chronically underfunded. Oregon has historically relied on an income tax without a sales tax, with local governments funded largely through property taxes. But many of these new levies function as stealth sales taxes—hidden from receipts but extracted from residents all the same. The result has been a spending binge at the city, county, and state levels, sidestepping limits that once restrained government growth. The cumulative effect has been predictable: investment is driven elsewhere, and population in Multnomah County is now declining. If there’s any hope of reversing this trajectory, the legislature needs to reassert its authority over the income tax and shut down the patchwork of local income taxes imposed by Multnomah County government and Metro Regional Government. And voters should start demanding something radical from municipal leaders: prioritize spending. Fund basic services first. Protect the General Fund. Stop treating taxpayers like an endless ATM.

@BowTiedMara The Swedes were big supporters of the Khmer Rouge as well - swallowed the whole Year Zero shit hook, line and shinker facilitating the mass genocide of Cambodians.

This Swedish official, a member of the European Parliament, is going to Cuba to defend the communist dictatorship.
In other words, a blonde, highly educated Swedish woman is going to Cuba to explain to people who can't eat more than a handful of plain white rice that the Cuban model is fine.
Will be a nice case of FAFO if she actually opens her eyes on the island

The 9.9% income tax is bad. But, that is not the worst.
WA state has an Estate tax of 10-35%, with an exemption of $3M. Estates over $9M are taxed at 35%.
The highest, in the nation.
I live in Kirkland, WA. Zillow says the average price of a house is $1.6Million. These households also own, other assets. Soon, everyone will be subject to the Estate tax.
These freaks, here, don’t get it, yet.
I’m moving to ID.
Peter Schiff@PeterSchiff
Washington has a state income tax for the first time in history. The 9.9% rate only affects people with annual incomes above $1 million. But as high-income earners flee, taking their capital & jobs with them, the bar will be lowered soon. The 99% should leave now before it is.

@barkmeta This is now a truism. 100 min to leave the house - top off gas, dry cleaning, groceries - boom 💥 100 bucks.

@Chizitere_xyz Every post 40 divorce I’ve seen close up (including mine) was initiated by the woman 👩
The man is typically gob smacked and didn’t see it coming (becuz the damage would be incalculable), but you can still rebuild at 50. Yeah, it’s hard but can be done.

When a woman in her thirties or forties wakes up, realizes she feels unfulfilled in a stable marriage, and decides to blow up her entire life to "find herself," society throws a parade for her. She gets a book deal, a podcast, and absolute applause. Her choice to abandon her vows in pursuit of her own personal happiness is framed as a brave, empowering, Eat Pray Love awakening.
But if a man wakes up at forty, realizes he has spent the last two decades working a soul-crushing job he hates purely to fund everyone else's lifestyle, and decides he wants to finally live for himself? He is absolutely demonized. He doesn't get a parade; he gets diagnosed with a "pathetic midlife crisis." He is labeled a selfish monster who abandoned his post
