I mean she's right, it's taxpayer-funded PR for JetBlue

I wonder how many sleeping doctors and nurses they woke up with that noise.
Maybe JetBlue could return the $935 million they just received via the CARES Act, $685 million of which they don't even have to pay back, if they can afford to be doing stuff like this.

She is a bartender that is cute, great at social media and perturbs the people that actually have an education and understand politics and the issues concerning our Country.
She also ran on a pseudo “fake” platform by claiming she is just a “Jenny from the block” when in reality she came from a privileged background in Yorkshire burbs (if I remember correctly)
She is smart and an opportunist and was basically a translator for the late and terrible Ted Kennedy helping illegals get in touch with their family that had been arrested for being, well, illegal. I think that she was a Obama-esque community org for Bernie as I remember her in Flint. I was there for a work function and she was in town. That is all I remember.
She so basically an opportunist who uses her dads bout with cancer as a crutch and claims to be something that she isn’t and never will be, a person for the common good.

on point with criticism of her, and this is not an excuse for that, but by know people understand her full deal:
- She grew up upper middle class
- as Sandy Ocasio
- and went to a nice private college
None of that is immoral or illegal. Fine. But to come from there and then present oneself with a new name and legend, and spout off unresolved adolescent whinings as serious political thought, does open one up to ridicule. Every junior high class had a couple of those, remember? Remember how they were received? Well, there she is.
But you're right. We don't have to respond in kind, do we? We weren't as nice to the jerk in Jr Hi as we should have been, and one of us needs to grow up. It wasn't Sandy, so it needs to be us. But she doesn't need to be making policy, for crying out loud.

And your President ducked military service claiming 'bone-spurs', disrespected servicemen by claiming that avoiding venereal disease in NY was "his vietnam", is so brilliant that he bankrupted 4 casino's has 25 claims of sexual abuse against him, sat on his ### while the Coronavirus hit and spends most of his time child-screaming on twitter from watching tv all day.
Yeah, he's way better than the average American that happened to get elected by her district.

All of that is largely true...though I would quibble with one thing. AOC does seem mostly sincere in her ideals, and that authenticity is a big part of her appeal...though like a lot of would-be saviors who ride into Washington on a white horse she'll likely grow ever more cynical as years go by and she'll inevitably wind up like every other career politician. (As they say, power corrupts...all you gotta do is give it time. Hence the necessity of term limits that almost all Americans support...and which our career politicians will never vote for unless we force them to do so.)
But where is that perception of yours when it comes to evaluating Donald Trump?

This thread isn’t about DJT. Start a new one if you want to talk about him. This is about AOC.

Okay. Just one follow-up question then: why can I freely critique AOC while you seem utterly incapable of doing the same to someone with a myriad of equally obvious flaws like DJT?
Why the blind spot?

Let's see, we just gave those bastarrds Billions to bail them out, but they can waste money burning thousands of gallons of fuel for what is a publicity stunt for them. They don't give a #### about firest responders, if they did, they'd buy them some PPE.
Yeah, hotair. And you would wish Coronavirus on someone who has the gall to disagree with your world view.
What in the #### do you think freedom means?

I was with you, but I called a friend of mine that was an Air Force pilot and a FedEx pilot now. He corrected me as many did here on TNet.
In the military ranks they are begging for flight hours. Then after they do their pass, they will fly to an undisclosed location and practice war time maneuvers and low flying or what they call blackout landings. They actually will do this and then the other 90% of the time spent is training
So I get you, but we both are wrong and just ignorant of what that all looks lien on the training side.

To be honest, we have an excess of fuel now

And little to no remaining storage. Production and refining can be slowed but not stopped because the restart costs are larger than the losses right now. If there was ever a time to waste fuel, it's now.
Subsidizing all of the airlines has been going on for too long. We've had to bail them out too many times, as as far as I know have taken over all of their pension plans already with the PBGC in otherwise good economic situations. It's time to seriously consider either allowing a monopoly or instituting a nationalized system with regional private airlines. They are all going to file bankruptcy again.
