Exactly, it's not like it was a groom leaving the bride at the altar. If they want an expectation that the passenger needs to stay, then they need to put it in writing and explain why.
A) No - if you're getting off in the middle, you're extremely unlikely to have checked luggage B) No - They don't give a shit that they lost you. They only need a total headcount for reporting "souls onboard" to ATC, and for weight/balance purposes C) No - You've never seen this happen D) No - What risk? That they've left something behind? Not unless TSA fucked up during boarding. Again, you've never seen a delay for this.
if I paid for a connecting flight, the airline is getting the same revenue from me whether I get on it or not, but they are saving a little money in fuel and other costs when I don't get on.
Yes, but the airlines hate that they don't know you're getting of and are then unable to resell your empty seat.
Flying half-empty when those tickets have all been paid for is the point. The airlines are simply whining because they can't now double charge by getting someone else into the empty seats. The GP is correct in that less fuel is used when there's less weight, and fewer people to deal with, so there is efficiency there...please cite the fixed costs you're claiming to the contrary.
I feel your pain. My parents lived in the Detroit burbs, where I grew up, and have made frequent visits back there since the 70s. I had platinum status on Northwest because I pretty much had to fly them. Thankfully, Delta started having flights, and there was competition until they merged, but now Southwest has helped matters.
It's interesting here in the DC area, with three major airports (DCA, BWI and IAD) that IAD is virtually always the most expensive airport to fly in/out of even though there's plenty of competition. I live just a few miles from IAD, and found tickets to Vegas at $200/person less from BWI, so for the three of us, it was worth the hour commute up to Baltimore. Too bad there wasn't a fly through option similar to the story here.
How would you propose to get people to become correctional officers if they faced the potential penalties you proposed? If I were a released criminal that had been under you, you'd be my blackmail target.
"all sentences should be minimum sentences"
So, you'd leave judges with no leeway in sentencing criminals who had more egregious crimes? Isn't that why there's a range in sentencing guidelines? Also, what about repeat offenders?
I was initially going to comment pretty much in line with yours. But then, I was wondering if children of criminals have a higher tendency to become criminals. My brief search turned up nothing.
First off, I don't feel sorry for the scammer one iota. That said, I think (but IANAL) his attorney should appeal the sentence based upon the 14th amendment (Equal treatment under the law...which actually only applies to state and local but SCOTUS has upheld it's use in some federal situations). Or, possibly that's it's an unusual punishment.
Also: Safety and efficacy concerns: There are no homeopathic drug products marketed in the United States that are FDA-approved. This means that FDA has not evaluated them for safety or effectiveness. Thus, such products may not meet modern standards for safety, effectiveness, and quality.Mar 21, 2018
Most federal laws concerning the FDA are part of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act,[21] (first passed in 1938 and extensively amended since) and are codified in Title 21, Chapter 9 of the United States Code. Other significant laws enforced by the FDA include the Public Health Service Act, parts of the Controlled Substances Act, the Federal Anti-Tampering Act, as well as many others. In many cases these responsibilities are shared with other federal agencies
Nearly all prescription medicine is poison in some way.
That's like claiming water is poison. People overdose on it every year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication). But the majority of warnings are primarily to keep the ambulance chasers away.
Sorry to hear about your issue w/statins. I had pretty much the opposite situation, discovering in my 30s that I had ~230 total, and for many years hearing from doctors that I should exercise (I was in the gym five days a week), and watch my diet (I was ~40lbs lighter back then). Years later, still with the same issue, I found out that all my aunts and uncles were on statins. So for the last ~20 years or so, I've been doing just fine on them. I've only heard of people with the muscle pain you mention...none of my family members have that issue.
Would you be okay if there was another housing market crash and your property lost half of it's value? Probably because you don't have all of your "eggs in one basket".
LOL...You link to a sexist article as evidence that men can not suffer from sexism? There is literally no proof provided in that article, only opinion.
Good point, I was just going to comment that anyone taking Huffington and Kucher's advice should see professional help. But, I didn't think about the marketing, and I'm sure our/. friends will likely get a little something for the slashvertisement.
"... I find it interesting that there's an assumption that the result was a bad thing"
It's called confirmation bias. Those making the claim have already judged UBI to be a bad thing. The good thing is that there will be numerous studies to follow, to give us more information and try different models of UBI. Maybe something will stick, maybe it won't. It's really too early to judge, but people will anyway.
Sudden wealth that you're not used to dealing with is nowhere similar to handling a small sum that's less than average wage. You also don't suddenly have to deal with all the new "friends" that show up wanting a piece of the pie.
They constantly complain about profiling, which is why we have to search grandma in a wheelchair as she goes through TSA, as well as your toddler.
Reminds me of when I was 20 and had a new '78 TransAm. I was pulled over about ten times in the one year that I owned it. I'd argue that only three of those were valid traffic stops, but I'm sure I fit a profile.
Get it through your skull. Had the election been on popular vote, the vote tally would not have been the same because the candidates would have campaigned with different methodologies. That's not to say that HRC may not have won, only that Trump could have.

Seems like the simple solution is to scan a passenger out if they deplane, no?
No, you're now going to require everyone to hold onto their tickets and stand in line to scan them on exit...hell no.
I'm going to agree with AmiMoJo here (shudder). It's about maximizing profit, which is just good business. You charge whatever the market will pay.

Be clear, or be called out. Sarcasm doesn't translate easily online.

That's your opinion, but not the opinion of those who've actually done multiple UBI studies. I'm sure you're an expert though.

He won by the rules, making it a mandate. It's not called a "popular mandate".
