This is how it should be done.
Safety always comes first when flying and travelers appreciate when you level with them about why you are delayed and the truth about how long you will be delayed. This Delta pilot should be commended for his calm leadership and honesty with his passengers.
Happy Tax Day. The top 1% pays 40% of all income taxes, the top 10% pays 72% and the top 25% pays 87% of all income taxes. Meanwhile the bottom 50% pays ZERO income taxes. For all of you actually paying taxes, do you think your tax dollars are being spent well?
.@NotreDame Athletics Director Pete Bevacqua: "I think everybody around this table knows that we need help to straighten this out... [college football] has become a runaway financial train, and if it continues to be that way, even the healthiest of universities are going to have to make incredibly difficult decisionsโdecisions that are going to impact womenโs sports and olympic sports. Thereโs simply no way around that. So we need regulations... we need financial transparency and we need repercussions."
