Damn, wasnt it the Southwest CEO that told congress masks are not needed because of the air filtration systems on planes, and now they want to slow roll this?
Dont ever give tyrants power, they won’t give it back!
I get it, they are now worried about lawsuits
Just wait until the jab mandate is ruled unlawful!!!!

Airlines are pissed because Bidan admin can not pay them for their business losses amymore, thats the real issue.
Airlines went along with a dictate and would willingly lose customers and they loved the gravy train the government was giving them.
Now they have to treat travelers like customers again, and they don’t want to

Wait until these idiots actually find out they feel healthier without masks, you’ll see a real revolt; and when they start believing real sciencr that might be a huge breakthrough

I grew up in the public housing projects and learned some hard lessons so you didn't have to.
Here are 11 things I learned from growing up in the hood, surrounded daily by crackheads, gangbangers, poverty, and death.

Good manners never make a situation worse
If you mess up, all you gotta do is say "my bad" and people will keep it moving a lot of times.
But if you don't even acknowledge that you offended or accidentally bumped into someone, that's often gonna be your ass
Weakness brings trouble
If people think they can take advantage of you or hurt you, they will. Human nature is fucked up like that.
If you're gonna be kind, you need to be strong, because there are terrible people who will take your kindness for weakness.
They will test you
Crackheads are incredible
But only because they're hooked on crack. Desperation can make a man do physically incredible things
I'm mostly exaggerating for comedic effect, but I have seen crackheads jump from a three-story building and live on rotten food.
And they are FAST!
Someone always has it tougher
I was on welfare and living in the projects, but at least my mom wasn't a crackhead.
I knew a few kids who got taken my CYS because of shit like this.
My mom only went to jail once. But some parents were always in the system.
No one cares
Everyone has their own shit to deal with.
When you grow up in an environment like this and go to school with people who are more messed up than you—and you're already messed up—you realize your shit doesn't matter.
No one really cares. Because they can't.
Prioritization can nullify a lot of poverty
I never wanted for a meal, although we had to rely on school lunch and summer lunch programs. My shoes and clothes were often rough, but I was fed
On the flip side, I know kids who had new clothes & games but had to steal to eat.
Dealing with trauma is a privilege
Life has always been hard.
But when you're busy surviving, you don't have time to worry about that. Even if it's holding you back.
A lot of what I witnessed was likely people just trying to survive the best way they knew how to.
Poverty is the root of evil
I remember I watched a pizza delivery guy get the shit beat out of him on Christmas Eve all so they could get like 400 dollars and a free pizza.
Like Meek Mill said "When certain n!ggas get to starvin', know that gun gon' shine"
You grow up fast
At age 5, I had a key to let myself in after school
At age 7, I was taking the public bus by myself
At age 11, I had my first job
You have to take care of yourself because the adults in your life let you down in the worst way: they don't know that they have.
Most people ain't gonna make it
Be lucky you were born where you were and can read this.
Most won't ever see it.
Most won't even know they can do better.
If all you know is what you know from birth, then is it really your fault you end up repeating "generational curses"?
No one is coming to save you
I watch my mom sell forties and weed to keep us from getting evicted
I also watched my mom get arrested. That's when I realized I was gonna have to take care of me
I had to save myself. Maybe I learned it too early, but most learn it too late
If you've got a decent family situation, be grateful. You won.
You're so far ahead of the game that you can actually backtrack and still be ahead of where people like me start.
If you enjoyed this thread, follow me and RT the parts that really resonated with you.

The Monopoly On Your Mind: These 6 Companies Control 90% Of What You Read, Watch, & Hear
Authored by Rebecca Strong via 'Down The Rabbit Hole' Substack,
In a recent Twitter survey I conducted, nearly 90% of people rated their trust in mainstream media as either “very low” or “low.” And is it any surprise? Ever-mounting media consolidation has narrowed the perspectives the public is privy to, ownership and funding of these corporations are riddled with conflicts of interest, crucial stories keep suspiciously getting buried, and big tech companies are outright censoring and demonetizing independent outlets trying to break through the noise. The media is supposed to function as a power check — and a means of arming us with vital information for shaping the society we want to live in.
It’s never been a more important industry.
And it’s never been more at risk.
In this series, I’ll tackle each factor threatening the media’s ability to serve our democracy — with input from journalists, media critics and professors, and other experts.
TL;DR:
As regulations around ownership have continued to loosen over the last 40 years, the power over the media has become increasingly concentrated. A major culprit is the Telecommunications Act signed by then-President Bill Clinton in 1996, which 72% of the public didn’t even know about and no one voted on.
Today, Comcast, Disney, AT&T, Sony, Fox, and Paramount Global control 90% of what you watch, read, or listen to. These companies spend millions on lobbying each year to sway legislation in their favor.
Local news is dying out, with more than 2,000 U.S. counties (63.6%) now lacking a daily newspaper.
Interlocking directorates — which describe situations in which a board member at a media company also sits on the board at other companies, also create conflicts of interest. Publicly traded American newspapers are interlocked by 1,276 connections to 530 organizations, including advertisers, financial institutions, tech firms, and government/political entities. These interlocks are only disclosed to readers about half the time.
More than 30% of editors report experiencing some form of pressure on the newsroom from their parent company or its board of directors. Pressured editors admit to taking a more relaxed approach in reporting practices when covering interlocked individuals or organizations in the news.
Half of investigative journalists say newsworthy stories often or sometimes go unreported because they could hurt the financial interests of their organization, and 61% believe corporate owners exert at least a fair amount of influence on decisions about which stories to cover.
“We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.” — Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis
On a crisp November day in 2014, as I hustled through Boston’s Downtown Crossing at rush hour, I got a call that would change the course of my career: I was offered my first full-time journalism job, as a tech and startups reporter for a local online outlet called BostInno. When I look back on that moment and recall the dizzying rush of excitement that set in, I see an idealistic young woman who has yet to understand the way the media machine really works. I wish I could somehow temper her expectations. I wish I could protect her from the crushing disappointment that comes with realizing this industry she’s chosen isn’t what she naively thinks it is.
Not too long before I was hired, BostInno had been acquired by American City Business Journals, the largest publisher of metropolitan business newsweeklies in the U.S. In my early conversations with colleagues, it was apparent they were still adjusting to post-acquisition life. Sure, there were perks that came with being acquired — but the pressure to hit lofty traffic goals meant writers now had to prioritize certain clickbaity stories over others. Moreover, I distinctly remember a fixation on quantity. Writers were expected to churn out at least three or four stories a day in an effort to reach as wide an audience as possible, which frustratingly, meant we often didn’t have time to cover complex topics in the depth required. Our experience, as it turns out, is not exactly a unique one.
In a recent survey I conducted, 60% of journalists said they’d worked for a publication that got bought by a larger company while they were there — and 40% of that group admitted to witnessing negative changes in their job expectations or work environment after the acquisition…..
