Just got an alert from SW, they have 1 way flights starting at $49, with 21 day advance booking.

I guess someone won't be paying their $50/month Section 8 rent next month.

I had a young black chic at the ATL ask me for $5 so she could “get some breakfast at Burger King” as I was eating my breakfast croissant.


I had a similar situation at a gas station in BR (Highland Rd at I-10, Circle K w/Church's Chicken attached). I was pumping gas, minding my own business and a 350 lb black lady with 3 young kids in the car pulls up next to me and rolls down her window and says:

"excuse me, sir. Are you racist? You not racist are you?"

Me: "No"

Her: "Ok, will you buy me and my kids a family meal at Church's? It's less than $20. Please help me I'm homeless and living in a hotel right now. Please."

Me: "No"

Her: "Racist, white MF!"


Un Freeking Believable! I was legit angry for a minute or two. I get cursed and called racist because I won't buy your family meals? Then I remembered we live in a clown world and this ignorant b*tch has been conditioned to believe that she is entitled to free everything and that anyone who denies her free goods is racist. The world is retarded.

There is some kind of freebie that they are using somewhere.

Has anyone else been to the Atlanta airport recently?


Not since September but I usually don’t run into poors in the lounge.

I am fully against the democratization of travel. It leads to low class people being everywhere and ruining the moment. I wish we would stop making everything so accessible.

Have carried minimum liability on auto for 20+ years, haven’t carried home insurance for close to 7 years,


Okay I get the auto insurance, especially if you're driving a pos car just to get around, but why not home insurance? Isn't that a major risk you're taking?

What’s the risk? I cut down any tree big enough to cause a major impact or threat, area has never flooded, no real major threat of natural disasters. Why should I give some a-hole agent on a golf course on a Tuesday $3000/year? What am I getting in return. Owned homes for 20+ years and never had a need to make a claim.

What does your liability, especially with a "net worth of 2.5 million", have to do with driving a pos car?

You're a retard, you don't have to continue to make it blatantly obvious. No individual with any kind of net worth thinks this way. It's called risk transfer dumbass

I assume those people bought the super discount multiple-connection tickets with shitty codeshares where you might as well drive there with the amount of time and bullshite you have to endure on those flights.

What you view as a complete waste of time....they view as additional time to talk shite to people, ask for snacks, yell at airport staff/crew....

Because they make up the difference and game the system of social services, where most of us don’t.
