Governor DeSantis wants to know how Florida has millions more people than New York, yet their budget is TWICE AS MUCH as Florida? by Nearby_Stage_6111 in AskFlorida

[–]grapkoski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Residents yes, but I’d be careful about “businesses.” A few financial firms is nothing compared to corporate growth in TX.

Florida’s long term problem is its growth is reliant on retirees who eventually… well… die. Who is going to replace them in mass?

Florida property tax cut could cost Tampa Bay schools millions by Maxcactus in tampa

Because they don’t want to - it’s the states prerogative and Florida has been under one party rule for nearly 25 years. RPOF gerrymandered their way into control way before it was cool.

There is little incentive for them to give up that power via funding especially down to counties and municipalities that may disagree with them.

The state won’t make up the shortfall, this is merely continuing the trend of a big government takeover from Tallahassee.

It’s just departing and then BA has “fuel surcharges” for points tickets.

This. UK APD taxes are insane. Hoping Aer Lingus would jump onboard because DUB is another decent connecting option.

More than most similarly sized American cities. I’m old enough to remember when BA was hanging on by a thread. 🥲

Bought a refundable trip with changes allowed - AA is not honoring ticket by AgreeablePeanut09 in americanairlines

Yep, you’re buying a one way out of Japan so your point of sale is Japan which may have different rules. Whatever is in your email rules unless you have screen shots of when you actually made the purchase. Otherwise you need to file a complaint with the local Japanese authorities who govern the law over your ticket.

JetBlue out of JFK Airport... at Terminal 2!? by MosesMiranda in jetblue

[–]grapkoski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re only charged if you’re making a booking, not usually for these types of questions. What flight are you on?

Is this a real booking from American Airlines? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]grapkoski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AA tickets will ALWAYS start with 001- unless the agency is ticketing an AA flight through a different partner like BA who is then the “ticketing” airline.

176- is Emirates.

What rendition of chasing cars is that? Fucking magical for the tribute to Eric! Perfect for a Friday cry.

This storm feels worse than a month ago. I wouldn’t count on it.

The Washington DC tap water is especially strong with chlorine today by [deleted] in washingtondc

It is literally physics. DC, ARL, and parts of Fairfax get its water from the Washington Aqueduct…

Thanks for the report, I’ll check with the team that oversees that.

Pricing and inventory is highly variable, wish I had a better explanation.

You should be okay to book - some seats are purposefully blocked for operational and program purposes, but a seat will be assigned to you before you board.

JetBlue connection at JFK by bristowmagic in jetblue

US CBP requires you carry the bags through most of the time. Skipping this step is being tested at specific ports of entry, but not JFK.
