When ease comes knocking, bar the door. it brings gifts that poison the receiver, soft hands and weak limbs, a head filled with fluff, and a soul that shrivels under any weight. when hardship comes knocking, open wide. it brings the sort of presents you don't appreciate at first, scarred knuckles and a clenched jaw, a back bent under strain, a gaze that looks right through bullshit. these are the gifts that mold you into something formidable
@vanemrys15 This barca situation is different barca and atletico are competing in the same league for sporting it would be more palatable for gyokeres to force a move to arsenal than for atletico seeing Alvarez (marquee signing btw) force a move to sworn rivals barcelona
Consider a Boeing 787 Dreamliner operating a long-haul route such as New York–Nairobi. A fully fueled aircraft can carry approximately 126,000 litres of jet fuel. At an estimated KSh 200 per litre, fuel alone can cost around KSh 25 million for a single journey.
Now imagine the flight carries 200 passengers, each paying an average fare of KSh 100,000. That generates roughly KSh 20 million in ticket revenue. Before accounting for crew salaries, maintenance, airport fees, aircraft leasing costs, insurance, catering, and other operational expenses, the airline may already be operating at a deficit on that route.
However, the airline's value extends beyond its direct profitability. If those 200 passengers each spend approximately KSh 500,000 during their stay in Kenya, they inject about KSh 100 million into the local economy. That spending supports hotels, tour operators, transport providers, restaurants, retailers, and countless small businesses while also generating tax revenue for the government.
In this sense, even when an airline struggles to make profits on certain routes, it remains a critical driver of tourism, trade, investment, and economic growth. Its contribution to the national economy often reaches far beyond the revenue reflected in its own financial statements.
For long-haul routes such as New York–Nairobi, there is also no practical alternative. Air travel remains the only efficient means of moving large numbers of people across continents in a way that supports modern tourism and international business.
@kpevi_ttkt@netonna@enyonvm as in the bible is not against obtaining wealth it is against being materialistic and making that the centre of your being. earthly things decay but the gifts of heaven do not
I am of the strong opinion that your children will inherit a predilection for your vices and your virtues.
In other words, your humanity is a slate you are handing down.
If you don’t do the hard work of cleaning that slate, you are giving your children that job instead.
