@MiracleOfDefeat@CUSocOfWomen Ah yes, lesbian rights activists are all “petite soft feminine long hair short skirts weak as a toothpick,” like <checks notes> Julie Bindel?
@SupremacyWoke@oupioneer@neeratanden The purpose of antitrust laws are to protect competition, not individual companies. These planes will be bought by other/new airlines which will use them to compete against other airlines.
@SupremacyWoke@oupioneer@neeratanden Airlines did not predict Trump starting an unnecessary war against Iran and Iran closing Hormuz as a result. Lots of airlines are flashing red lights. In any event, Spirit’s problems are not caused by the lack of a merger.
@KenGardner11 It’s really pathetic to see people resort to claiming “TDS!!” When they want to reject meaningful criticism of Trump but don’t’t have the cards.
@SupremacyWoke@oupioneer@neeratanden The reason they are facing bankruptcy is because of fuel costs skyrocketing, not the lack of a merger. There will either be a restructuring or the planes will be sold to another (potentially new) airline who may take up Spirit’s routes.
@MatthewJRoth@CatholicSmark "You have the right to sit down during church services, and the minister is not allowed to make you decide otherwise. Banning people from sitting in the cathedra does that, which is what Martin has done."
@MatthewJRoth@CatholicSmark Nobody is making people kneel to receive communion. So there's no bar to communion to those who can't kneel unassisted but who can nonetheless walk.
And of course there's no real question whether anyone in this photo has a problem with either walking or kneeling unassisted.
@ByzCalabrese@CatholicSmark So if I have no disability/mobility issues, but I nonetheless decide that I want to receive communion in my pew at the back of the church, rather than getting in line, then a EM has to come back and serve me?
@MatthewJRoth@CatholicSmark EMs routinely serve communion to mobility-limited congregants while they are sitting in their pew or in a wheelchair-designated area. Nobody has ever been denied communion because they can't kneel unassisted. So your "point" is a straw-man argument.
@CatholicSmark I'm not asking you speculate. They weren't refused communion because they knelt. The issue is that they attempted to receive the Eucharist at the altar rail as opposed to approaching the Eucharistic Minister.
@CatholicSmark They're not in line to receive communion. They went somewhere else, based on their preference of where (and how) they'd like to receive communion.
You're not legitimately trying to say that the family is at the rail because they needed assistance kneeling, are you?
@BreeSolstad R.S. doesn't say that congregants get to choose their place in the church to receive communion, right? Instead of getting in line, can I just go somewhere else and demand that the person distributing the eucharist come to where I am?
@ASFleischman I get that it's boring, but prosecutors still need to do it--otherwise there a JMOL motion followed by a appeal regarding the sufficiency of the evidence.
