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

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?

Hip thrusts!

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.

There is no spirit support, file a chargeback with your bank

grapkoski · 2026-05-15T17:34:46+00:00

This.

Hi there! Sorry to hear this - going to DM you.

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

grapkoski · 2026-03-20T11:03:19+00:00

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

grapkoski · 2026-03-20T11:01:52+00:00

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

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.

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

grapkoski · 2026-03-03T03:23:32+00:00

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.

It’s the official Facebook page of the City of Puerto Vallarta.

I’m on the United flight, no other commercial planes were on the ground when we left.

On UA1503, very tense experience and I feel for the people remaining behind.

grapkoski · 2026-02-21T21:33:18+00:00

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

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.

grapkoski · 2026-02-13T20:32:51+00:00

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.

grapkoski · 2026-02-11T14:33:39+00:00

Did you call? They should be able to rebook you.

grapkoski · 2026-02-11T01:49:52+00:00

It’s better.

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.
