Worth a read today. This story illustrates just how pro-corporate and anti-everyday American this administration truly is. Trump’s claims about being “for the people” are, like everything else, a complete lie. newrepublic.com/article/2164...

Europe has had far greater airline penalties in place for decades. I was booted involuntarily for 1 day and received 600 euros, lodging, transportation and meals as required. That's about $2200 for a family of 3 in 2004. It's All policy choices folks.

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.
