They could have bought Richard Branson's private jet for the four crew members for a shitload less than this fiasco is going to cost them. Hell, $800 million would damn near buy you a B2 bomber.<br /><br />Granted, rules are rules, and woe be to the person who challenges them on board a commercial flight, but really? Who the hell decided it would be a good idea to drag this guy kicking and screaming out of his seat, whacking (and bloodying) his head in the process? Then, dragging him unconscious down the isle in front of 100+ cell phones taking videos, was the icing on the cake.Colby Muensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910666550508273829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-67482159579023859212017-04-11T11:29:33.708-05:002017-04-11T11:29:33.708-05:00Since nothing else is being said here today, how a...Since nothing else is being said here today, how about the other story dominating the news cycle:<br /><br /><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/11/news/united-passenger-pr-disaster/" rel="nofollow">United Airlines shows how to make a PR crisis a total disaster</a><br /><br />Short story: Flight overbooked, and United needed 4 seats to get a crew staged at the next stop. They offered $800 and a hotel for volunteers to get bumped for a flight the following afternoon. When they found no takers, instead of upping the offer they had the computer randomly select 4 passengers who had already boarded and were seated and asked that they deplane. When one refused, they called security to actually and literally drag him off the plane. Cell phone video of man being dragged down aisle goes viral.<br /><br /><b>So what did we actually witness yesterday? A great example of "Social Justice" being substituted for simple capitalism.</b> For whatever reason, when there were no takers at $800, instead of raising the bid to $900 or more, the agents in charge decided to get their seats in a "fair" manner by allowing a computer to randomly select the 4 passengers to be inconvenienced. Of course, it certainly didn't feel "fair" or like "justice" for the 4 people pulled from the flight, but that's the problem with "Social Justice", isn't it? <b>Somebody ultimately gets screwed so others can be happy.</b><br /><br />Of course, <b>in retrospect this was all really stupid.</b> You can't convince me that on a plane of 200 or so people that they couldn't have found a market clearing price for at least 4 people. (They might have had me at $1,500 or so - Mrs. Econ, who really wants a vacation would have made me) Clearly, the United personnel on the scene didn't want (or may not have been authorized) to offer that much. So they went the draconian route.<br /><br />But in the end, the free market ultimately gets its retribution. In the wake of what happened United has suffered an incalculable PR disaster and is now the butt of jokes internationally. (Many of the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=united+airlines+memes&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiw24Ow55zTAhUB-GMKHRy3Ci8Q_AUIBigB&biw=1106&bih=845" rel="nofollow">memes floating about the Internet</a> are a hoot) This morning, UAL's stock price dropped several percent, resulting in around $800,000,000 of market capitalization evaporating last I looked. Makes paying $4-or-5 thousand to buy the good graces of 4 people look kinda cheap now, doesn't it?<br /><br />So next time you see a social justice warrior demand that "social justice" replace the laws of supply and demand, remember the guy who was dragged off the plane. Usually, you don't get to see the victims of such "just" policy so vividly.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-45559286957040575512017-04-10T22:26:22.853-05:002017-04-10T22:26:22.853-05:00You should use the the original image https://www....You should use the the original image https://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/tilatequila-trump-npi_0.jpg Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-38140203760975028482017-04-10T20:13:30.887-05:002017-04-10T20:13:30.887-05:00Re John the Econ's linked article about the DN...Re John the Econ's linked article about the DNC, this:<br /><br />Progressives also criticized the transition committee's initial makeup, leading the DNC to add several more members from the left's ranks. <br /><br />Yeah, Demo_Rats, go ahead and let more "progressives" in.

Had a local Russian speaking lady along as a Moscow guide which usually helps visitors through any minor difficulties with ease since they are not only translators but also skilled diplomats. As opposed to the long lines usually depicted at the tomb we were the only visitors at the time; yet we could not dwell; we had to move along very quickly and that was enforced by several guards. The old communist looked like plastic anyway. It's not well known that his body was also removed from Moscow to safe-keeping in Tyumen (Siberia) during WW2.<br /><br />This similar talk about HC's demise reminded me of that & if one wants to attend her funeral or lying in state (which I can't even imagine) and maybe take a sharp stick to poke her with: It's suggested they take a grappling hook instead and make the stinking spray from that old, always lying, gas-bag go the other way. <br /><br /> Rodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-64392202546978781842017-04-10T15:19:21.963-05:002017-04-10T15:19:21.963-05:00Stilt, re your reply to Mike aka proof, the only r...Stilt, re your reply to Mike aka proof, the only reason Hillary Clinton should be allowed a "lying in state" under the Capital dome, is so everyone could make sure the witch was really dead.Grayladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-46130664772118921742017-04-10T14:15:59.481-05:002017-04-10T14:15:59.481-05:00pgm1972, cut her some slack; she's not getting...pgm1972, cut her some slack; she's not getting paid much for her speeches anymore.rickn8orhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911803300343351338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-91399567099224122222017-04-10T13:32:37.295-05:002017-04-10T13:32:37.295-05:00http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hillary-clinton-...http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hillary-clinton-blames-comey-and-wikileaks-as-determinative-factors-behind-her-2016-loss/article/2619597<br /><br />"It's unclear what Clinton meant when she said people don't yet understand the full scope of WikiLeaks' impact when it released stolen documents from Democratic officials including her campaign chairman John Podesta, but Clinton did seem to hint that more will be brought to light when the book she is writing gets published."<br /><br />In other words:<br /><br />If you wanna know what I ain't teillin'<br />Gotta wait and buy it when it's sellin'!pgm1972https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480533211293067378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-33753079902755998282017-04-10T13:01:36.494-05:002017-04-10T13:01:36.494-05:00Clearly not being a misogynist; I voted for Melani...Clearly not being a misogynist; I voted for Melania.

Not that she hasn't lied there before.<br /><br />@Jim Irre- She thinks she is the victim of a vast right-wing, left-wing, Russo-wikileaks, FBI, male, female conspiracy. Occam's razor suggests that the likelier scenario is that she's just an asshole.<br /><br />@Granny- Same as they've always been, although now she wants it in cash and tucked in her g-string.<br /><br />@Dr. Strangelove- You've just made the best case for book burning that I've ever heard (grin).<br /><br />@Rod- Glad you think so, though I gave up trying to rate my posts ages ago. Different strokes for different folks - I just try to attain a batting average high enough to keep people coming back.<br /><br />@Fred Ciampi- I really, truly loathe that woman. And hey, nice work on those Tomahawks! I don't honestly know if Syria was to blame for the chemical attack or not (and yes, I worry about it), but I'm trying to be optimistic about the message Trump sent. At the very least, I'd hope that other countries are thinking that we shouldn't be screwed with.<br /><br />@idahobob- I didn't forget, I was just trying to stay off her "kill list." And now you and I are <i>both</i> on it!<br /><br />@Fish Out of Water- Hillary is, indeed, living in an imaginary world at this point. Sadly, there are still a lot of liberals who live there with her. And while I scoff (yes! scoff!) at the notion that misogyny held her back, I <i>do</i> think that much of the support she had came from brainless females who were voting their genitalia. Is it misogynist for me to state the plainly obvious?<br /><br />@Geoff King- Oh, she <i>says</i> she won't run, but when has Hillary ever told the truth? Although it's entirely possibly that she might try to steer Chelsea into the White House the same way she steered Bill. For Hillary, power is like blood to a vampire. In no small part because she has to suck to get it.<br /><br />@Ed G. Mann- I like the idea of a preggy giraffe missile. In fact, I think ALL of our implements of war should be given adorable animal identifications.<br /><br />@Dave Neumann- I think it's significant (and accurate) that TV is so godawful these days that what Newton Minnow called a "vast wasteland" is now widely referred to as "The Golden Age." Yeah, we're pretty much screwed.<br /><br />@Tots- The whole notion of the "giraffe cam" rather escapes me. There are multiple stories about us being on the cusp of World War III, yet "pregnant giraffe" still rates high in what people are actually interested in. And on a side note, I toast your health with a class of unprepossessing claret for your reference to "Rumpole of the Bailey."<br /><br />@Colby Muenster- <i>Exactly!</i> This is America, where we should <i>all</i> have the right to hate <i>anyone</i> for being an asshole, whatever their race, creed, color, or sex.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- Would it be misogynist for me to suggest she be sent to a penile colony? (Answer: yes)<br /><br />@Emmentaler Limburger- As I understand it, Bill Clinton was our first all-white Black President. Barry Soetoro was our first half-white Black President. That still gives us room for one non-white Black President before we eventually get an all-black Black President.<br /><br />@rickn8or- I <i>love</i> women! And I love women in power! Hillary's loss had <i>nothing</i> to do with her gender, and everything to do with her maggot-ridden soul.<br /><br />@Don Surber- In fairness, I'm impressed that he at least took the training wheels off long enough for a photo op.<br /><br />@James Daily- I frankly hope that Hillary <i>does</i> regain the strength and stability to climb steps. Because there are no gallows on the ground floor.<br /><br />Regarding Chelsea's actual age, I think we need to ask Webb Hubbell. <br /><br />@REM1875- The only "Hard Choices" regarding Hillary's book are fireplace or bonfire.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-3685399393347193962017-04-10T10:18:06.260-05:002017-04-10T10:18:06.260-05:00HA AHH HO HO You win
