God, I hate the shareholder class.

And it’s not like McDonald’s gets a different hash brown. Simplot has supplied McDonald’s for decades: http://visitsoutheastidaho.com/2017/01/j-r-simplots-french-fry-pact-with-mcdonalds-was-key-for-company-idaho/

We all know how it works. I'm suggesting maybe the way it works should change to improve safety.

I do not believe the current system is unsafe. This is 100% her not liking the articles about her massive carbon emissions. If anything, we should further expose these megapolluters.

I've "complained" about nothing. You're imagining things.

Oh, going off a semantics! Whatever. You certainly are stating it.

Would you care to make a suggestion?

I did. You ignored it. What do you think paid security is?

I literally just explained that in the comment you just replied to. Verbal and physical assault and harassment while in a sealed tube tens of thousands of feet in the air.

How on earth are people verbally or physically assaulting her on her private jet? It is literally only her and her entourage on board. How does being able to track her flight lead to someone able to assault her on board? You make no sense

Hell, even flying commercial, they will land the plane and place the offender under arrest. They will restrain you in the meantime. They carry zip tie handcuffs and tape to secure disruptive individuals. Celebrities fly commercial all the time. Aside from maybe stares or people asking for selfies, they are perfectly safe. But that is part of the deal of being a celebrity. She is well compensated for it.

And I am ignoring nothing. I just wholeheartedly disagree with you an every point you have made.

Yes she can, she can also afford a private jet to fly her around. Not sure what your point is.

Choices have consequences. She chooses a private jet that will have an ADS-B transponder that will thus be linked to her travel. That’s just how it works.

And you are complaining she faces violence threats. My point is, she can easily mitigate them.

Private security ain't gonna do much in a sealed tube 10k feet in the air.

Stalkers aren’t going to do mush there, either. What danger do you think she faces in the air?

Such as?

Fly commercial. Much harder to find when you could be on any of dozens of flights. Also, she could charter different jets. People might still find her from flight plans, but it would be much harder.

Oh, poor Billionaire that can afford 24 hr private security! /s

I don’t care. She has other options, anyway. She can’t have her cake and eat it, too.

Didn’t say you did.

I just want you to realize there are still a ton of us struggling, regardless of what the official numbers say. For a lot of us, or pay has not caught up with inflation, and there is no sign of it happening soon. Necessities continue to go up faster than inflation. I don’t care that TVs are cheaper, I don’t need a new tv, but I do need to eat.

It is more dangerous this November than people realize.

Woman who made over a billion being a public figure upset she is now a public figure.

Sorry, no privacy for private jets. I don’t care about the “danger.” She can fly commercial in business class or first class if she wants privacy.

Bypass Paywalls Clean

And a ton of flavor

I have and will have no children

I’ve been graduated from college for 18 years

I’ve never paid an overdraft fee in my life

I am 24 years from being Medicare eligible

I don’t think I’m that unique. Your below policies will help many, but also will not make a difference for many. Sorry I am not pleased being in a perpetual donut hole. Too poor to be comfortable, yet too “rich” to get help.

I’ve looked. I’ve seen little. But you don’t seem to have looked, since you are so confident they exist but can’t name one. Instead you just call me names and resort to ad hominem attacks.

You seem to be under the impression I am supporting Trump or something. I despise him and every Republican.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not pissed when I see prices skyrocket while my pay only goes up 2% a year.

I see little policy effort besides what was already done. What proposed policies can you inform me of?

There are plenty of "old ass" Airbus planes out there. And it's not like Airbus planes never crash.

So as long as a policy helps some people, we don’t have to try and help more?

It will hurt, but boing needs to announce a clean sheet narrowbody and end the 737Max. Put engineering 100% in charge of the development. Don’t give in to the sunk cost fallacy.

Trying to slap even wider and higher bypass engines and maintain a common type rating was a cost saving measure that has blown up in their face.

The 787, 777, 767, 757, 747, and even pre-Max 737NGs are fine aircraft. You want to worry about the Max, fine. But otherwise, your statement is not smart.

Yes. You apparently do not. So long as some people do good, everyone else that is struggling can fuck themselves, it seems.

Well it’s a good thing no one is attempting that?

Oh, what do you call a statement like "The US economy is booming?"

You’re an outlier. Understand that you’re not the center of the universe, please.

Are you going to tell me I am the only one struggling and not seeing wage gains? Do you want to tell me my experience does not matter?

Data can absolutely be misleading. Liars, damn liars, and statisticians, as they say. And trying to produce one number that somehow represents everyone will never work, whatever economists want to think.

The fact is many of the super-poor are doing better because government benefits like social security are indexed to inflation, meaning they are actually keeping up.

Personally, my real earnings are down over $10,000 a year. My whole industry has stagnant wages. Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining.

I call bullshit. That is not what anyone sees.
