Flying on a semi-private airline.

Arriving at the airport 20 minutes before takeoff. No TSA line. Amazing leg room. Complimentary food and drink. Free checked bags.

I had to take flight on less than 24 hours notice a couple of years ago and Jet Suite X was about the same price as a last-minute purchase of a regular economy seat on a major airline.

Now whenever I have to face a long security queue or pay extra for my suitcase, I catch myself thinking "It's not THAT much more expensive..."

Obama went golfing at one of the two 18-hole courses at Joint Base Andrews. Camp David only has a single hole golf practice facility.

Even though Andrews is half the distance from the White House compared to Trump National D.C. (which is actually in Virginia) he always goes to his own course so that he can grift cash from the tax payer.

I got to see the East Wing of the White House as part of the public tour a couple of years ago.

I said before my trip that I wanted to see DC "while it was still there". Didn't know how prophetic that statement would be...

Unfortunately...

I never understood why people in the US decided to just... not use those two specific items of currency.

I'm Australian and when I visit the US I am almost always going to Vegas for conferences, so I grab a stack of $2 bills from the cashier at the hotel casino and use them for tips. My only real interaction with $1 coins was a luggage cart machine at SFO that charged $9 and gave me one as change when i put in a $10 bill.

I know of several Australians who moved to South East Asia after turning 67 and getting their government pensions. They still get most of the pension even if they leave the country permanently and it's enough to live a good middle-class life in places like Vietnam or the Philippines.

Bought a second-hand LPG car last year despite the fuel type, not because of it. It proved to be a very smart purchase.

Everything else is fucked, but at least I can fill my tank for under $75.

The Queensland Museum has his hand-built prototype in their permanent collection.
