@marcorandazza Then a month after 9/11 flying with my then infant son TSA had to have me remove his diaper.
English
No, you still went through a metal detector and someone with a relative degree of human intelligence checked you out
After 911 the TSA was created as a make work program for retards
Allie ✞@allie__voss
As someone who never experienced airports before 9/11...was there truly NO security? Like you could just walk wherever like a train station?
English
@marcorandazza No, there was a metal detector, but you could walk through it to go meet your family or colleague at the gate coming off their flight.
You could go to a restaurant in the airport if you felt like it.
Or use the bathroom.
It was like - whatever.

🇺🇸🇯🇵 Everyone in Japan knows "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver.
We cover it all the time so I hope our American friends can appreciate it.

@joshua_hoover @ZavalaA There’s no transparency because somehow they’re paying themselves.
Jerry Brown The Greater had the right idea. Living in an apartment, driving himself and brown bagging it. Pun intended.

The Capitol Annex Project is one of the biggest examples of what’s wrong with California state government.
No transparency.
No accountability.
No self-awareness.
This isn’t just about an ugly $1 billion building for politicians. It’s about a pattern of disdain for taxpayers.
Ashley Zavala@ZavalaA
The officials in charge of the California Capitol Annex project are hiding cost information not just from the public, but also most state lawmakers. Asm. @joshua_hoover says lawmakers need to know to prepare and plan. He's hopeful Gov. Newsom will step in:

@typedfemale This is retarded and by the way, don’t ever say, kitted out again ever in your life.

@Erdayastronaut Didn’t Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez has already do this?

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

@Erdayastronaut I thought they were gonna circle around it right? We’re not landing on it -this time.

@cljack Say what you want about the ballroom or this particular design.
The fact that we entertained VIPs in a tent is absurd. What is this 1789?
Also like most I love and respect our country, but this has 110% zero effect on my life.
Who cares!? (am I a boomer if I still do hashtags?)
English
It’s really too bad Democrats are too terrified of ever modifying the physical environment in any way shape or form to have ever built a halfway decent ballroom, which we have needed for decades
Sam Stein@samstein
The New York Times takes an architectural look at the coming White House ballroom and finds there is a lot of ornamental stairs to no where and faux windows with bathroom stalls behind them

@samobasq Many are saying in 22 to 31 months the robots will just drink the beer for us.
English
Notice they cut the person selling the drink but didn’t cut the price of the drink to match
Hear in LA@hearinladotcom
You can now get your $20 can of beer from a machine at Dodger Stadium. RIP human jobs at the Ravine.

This already exists in TX and it’s called @vonlane
It’s by far the best way to get around the Texas Triangle

American Airlines has 77 regional planes sitting in storage because they can't find pilots to fly them. The expected U.S. pilot shortfall in 2026 is 24,000. Training a new commercial pilot takes 2-3 years minimum and costs six figures. So American found a loophole. Partner with a bus company, brand the bus "American Eagle," sell the seat on aa.com with a flight number, route passengers through TSA, let them pick a seat, check bags, earn AAdvantage miles. The entire experience is designed to feel like a flight in every way except the part where you leave the ground. The economics are staggering. A regional jet on a 90-mile route needs two pilots ($100K+ each), a flight attendant, jet fuel, FAA maintenance requirements, and an aircraft that costs $20-30 million. The Landline bus needs one driver and a highway. South Bend to Chicago O'Hare is 90 miles. That route doesn't make money with a regional jet anymore. It barely made money before the pilot shortage. The bus lets American keep selling connections through O'Hare to every destination in its network without operating a single flight. This is what the pilot shortage actually looks like. Not cancelled routes. Not smaller airports going dark. The airline just quietly reclassified a bus as a flight and kept charging accordingly. The TikTok exposing it has 13 million views because the passenger cleared security, sat at a gate, and watched her luggage get loaded onto a coach before it merged onto the interstate. The word "bus" appears once during booking in small text. Google Flights lists it with a tiny bus icon. The airline says customers are "transparently informed." 72% of U.S. airports have already lost an average of 25% of their flights to the shortage, and Landline is expanding, not shrinking. Philadelphia, Chicago, and now five regional airports are on the bus network. American Airlines is solving a $28,000-per-pilot-shortfall crisis by removing the pilot from the equation entirely. The bus is the product now. The flight number is just packaging.

@aakashgupta And because it’s American Eagle, you can also buy a pair of sexy jeans with your ticket!

@LeeCodding @CaptMarkKelly IF Dems take power again, I expected to be "means tested" out of Soc Sec, since I have retirement income that exceeds $75k/yr!!
Yeah, Dems consider that to make you RICH!!

You paid into Social Security your entire lives. And I refuse to let it get gutted by this Administration to fund more tax breaks for billionaires.
