We need to have an Air Marshal type program where we ensure a minimum of 2 Americans are present on every inbound flight to Germany, because what do you mean *five* planes full of people simply accepted their fate and SLEPT ON THE PLANE
This article is wrong they trapped FIVE planes overnight with over 500 people on board because ground crew went home at their shift Completely insane

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

We had a good 10-15 years where you could Google anything and get a correct quick answer. It will be missed.
Remember when googling a word actually gave you that neat little box with meaning, synonyms, antonyms, etymology, even phonetic transcription. Now it's been replaced by AI slop overview which is objectively worse completely useless. THIS IS ENSHITTIFICATION!

NEW: Delta is currently charging higher fares for solo passengers than for groups of two or more, @thriftytraveler has discovered. It's only on select flights, but it's a new and potentially troubling pricing tactic.

Many travel bloggers are not frequent flyers. They are content creators. Nothing wrong with this, but there is a difference.

With Delta’s new fare names and interface, the app (and site) both show this flight is $159 for a Delta Main fare Only to click through and find that price is for “Main Basic” - basic economy. Main economy is $40 more. Tell me that’s not a bait and switch.

ICE tortured a German green card holder living in New Hampshire in an attempt to make him give up his greencard. Outrageous third world behavior by these agents. Everybody involved here should be fired and charged with the maximum criminal offenses.

Yesterday, Southwest told its loyal customers, "We don't need you." This runs counter to 60 years of company culture and we have the receipts to prove it. 1/

If Southwest Airlines had assembled a focus group and asked them "what's the stupidest thing that we could do to ruin our company," this is what they would have come up with.
