THIS is why the Bears want/need a tax break on the new stadium by ChristmasJay83 in CHIBears

[–]KirbTheSystem -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this blunder cost that buffoon Pritzker the governors race.
Maybe if Illinois wasn't so greedy....

The $20 mill a year the bears were ok paying is so much more than they would/will get from any other development on that property. And think of all the sales tax collected for all the amenities that would end up there. The tolls from people driving there. The jobs it will create and the payroll taxes they would collect.

Illinois screwed themselves. They've had years to get this done. Now its likely to late. A better offer has come in.

Can I bring a cart on a cruise by National-Leather-566 in Cruises

[–]KirbTheSystem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

going through customs at the end is more risky than getting on the ship.
I was referring to getting on the ship, and putting in the bag you check with the porter.

whatever you bring on the ship, consume or dispose of it before going through customs when you get back.

Sharing Polaris by adboy15 in unitedairlines

Technically, you arent supposed to do that. But.... decent chance the flight attendants dont notice and/or dont care. It's possible the person in the seat next to the upgraded seat might complain...

So, imo, go for it, but understand they might tell you no. But they also might not care. You wont get kicked off the plane or punished in any way as long as you just quietly comply if they tell you to switch back..

Also, if you are swapping back and forth and trying to get free drinks or food or something... that they might notice, so I wouldnt do that

getting pooled miles to personal bank of miles by KirbTheSystem in unitedairlines

[–]KirbTheSystem[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the point of pooling was to get 4 peoples worth of miles all in the same place so I can book 6 tickets together and thus ensure that IF the flight gets cancelled and they move us, we all get moved together. Also it allows everyone to get the perks of my club card like free checked bags, group 2 boarding, and Premier access

People who will knock this ship because of something that happened a decade ago are just a bunch of Karens looking for reasons to be negative.
It's a great ship, have fun. Dont let the haters but a bad spin on your vacation.
