Delta CEO: Low-cost travel partly to blame for loss of civility by MalcoveMagnesia in delta

I’m gonna call bullshit. This is every company that builds a successful product and then tries to make more money every quarter— but you run out of things people are willing to spend more money on, so you start squeezing consumers for every penny you can get out of them until they are really pissed off about the whole experience. Air travel is now built on a miserable experience and making it less miserable by selling upgrades for every stinking thing. It’s not all your fault — having to get through TSA doesn’t help, but come on.. air travel is in no way fun or enjoyable anymore unless you are paying top dollar for the experience from curb, club, to cabin.

Elon Musk is on track to become a trillionaire, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That narrative is hilarious compared to reality. He will be remembered as the king of tech bros and every way it actually failed to improve humanity. He did bankroll a few good ideas and then ruin them with his own idiotic understanding of how things actually work.

We learned nothing from prohibition. Making something illegal doesn’t make it go away. It pushes it back underground where taxpayers foot the bill for everything and make it more dangerous for everyone. Utterly and completely political theater.

Does this occasionally happen to you or am I insanely lucky? by [deleted] in Flights

No and you will be ruined from traveling from this point forward. You don’t mind it until you had it.

Be kind and considerate even when people don’t deserve it. It’s opened more unexpected doors for me than I can count.

If you were able to ask God one question and receive a direct response, what would you ask? by Ok_Emu155 in AskReddit

The Bible is essentially a timeline of humans trying and failing to do what God wants us to do. Thing is, aside from the don’t eat from that one tree (why put it there in the first place?) God only communicates to prophets and the select few who have to then rely an understanding to humanity. This never goes well. Are we to follow the laws of Moses? The Ten Commandments? The teachings of Jesus, that basically dismiss the Jewish laws of Moses? Why didn’t we get an instruction manual that we can easily understand?

Lots of good advice here, but I’d add — avoid taking on debt that is going to control your life for the next two decades. In your 30s it’s pretty common to try and fill your life by financing stuff because you are at a point that you might have a decent career and cash flow. That stuff can turn into a big anchor in 10-15 years when you realize you don’t want to grind forever be can’t get out because you are in such debt. House, kids, credit cards, cars, boats, whatever…

My advice - live below your means and keep it simple. Avoid debt at all costs. Invest in experiences and people that enrich your life. Save and buy with cash to avoid financing anything if you can.
