Now unofficially, which is the proper designation? Uncle President Joe or President Uncle Joe?
President Senile Dementia Imminent Corpse Joe Biden.
In some places in Washington the co-pay and deductible waivers for covid are being phased out.
That means some people will be on the hook to pay several thousand dollars for treatment (potentially). Maybe that'll incentivize additional vaccinations... though probably not.
It all depends on the parents. Look at the current unrest in Loudon County. Parents are uniting against something they do not want taught in their schools. If I read things correctly, the county is known for having good schools and parents of whatever political stripe want to continue that tradition.

Wouldn't want to fly one out of LAX, but small, local airports? To fly to DFW, I catch an AE (Embraer jet), arriving 20 minutes before departure. TSA is a breeze and I gate-check my carry-on. Flight time is around 50 minutes.
If I drove, it would be about 250 miles.

What did the customer do? Did they stay a customer?
They laughed their asses off, thankfully. It's a bunch of engineers, so you're usually pretty safe with that kind of thing.
That was my experience with engineers as well, they had a solid sense of off-the-wall humour when the occasion arose. Can't say the same about MBA's and accountants on any occasions;* although for some reason the engineers found them weirdly funny.

Actually, that's me. He's as mad as a hatter just like the rest of you.

Unbelievable odds...
True, but in a country with millions of families involved in the war it was bound to happen. Just like the Sullivan's tragedy was bound to happen.
