I agree they need to hear the message. Just a bit of a stretch from the normal “working class” definition. I have a feeling a huge portion if not possibly a majority of attendees there have/had trust funds. They’re hardly paycheck to paycheck.

They’re dropping $1000+ per person for a concert, all said and done (food at places like this is crazy, travel costs, etc).

That said, you are absolutely right we shouldn’t divide ourselves up and I’m glad he was there. Just meant to observe the irony in the headline.

Love the message and I get that he’s trying to shift the popular view and this isn’t a bad place to do it

But Coachella isn’t exactly filled with your average “working class” folks. Tickets start at $600 per person.

I believe OP’s point was that the title says “Teacher accused of sex with students.” It should read “Teacher accused of raping students”

This is taking away the last reason any of my coworkers fly it for business. They have lots of direct, but they’re all in the middle of the day and don’t go to any smaller airports, requiring lots of extra driving if you need to visit a facility outside major metros.

For all their flaws, I love that I can take an American flight and land directly in a small town by 9am, do my business, hop in Lyft/Ubers, then fly back and not even spend the night. SWA coworkers spend less time in the air and at airports, but often have to spend 2 nights and spend hours in a rental car driving themselves the extra 2 hours each way to the town.

I mean, he is 78 years old, apparently never exercises, and eats McDonald’s on a regular basis…

Meta gave the donation, not Zuck personally? Somehow that seems extra sleezy. Not only a payoff, but using someone else’s money to do it.

That is a notable change from “we’re just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon” that has been the message for a long time. Now it’s “we’re looking at all options”.

Or what has been called one of the most historic and tumultuous years of a century (1968)… Yeah.

Now I gotta look up 1973. Never heard it mentioned in this context…

Answer:

• Roe vs Wade
• Vietnam War officially ended, US pulls out of Cambodia
• OPEC oil embargo started
• Wounded Knee occupation
• Major flooding of the Mississippi River
• New tallest building in the world (Sears Tower)
• Nixon goes to China and US opens official office in Beijing
• Battle of the Sexes tennis match
• Secretariat wins first triple crown in 25 years, smashing records
• “The Miller Test” for obscenity is established by the US Supreme Court
• Two notable commercial airline crashes with fatalities (both in Boston, interestingly)
• Egypt and Israel sign peace accord
• Much of the Watergate scandal played out in 73, though Nixon didn’t resign until August of '74

They did it once, then did it again and not only is it still just a fine, the fine didn’t even go up. Given inflation since then, the fine actually went down in real terms.

That’ll teach them for sure! /s

I initially read that as “Florida scrambles to get retired teachers to return to combat.”

Which isn’t really wrong either.

Their claims are based largely on building artificial islands which extends their 200 miles from the coast claims (by aging more coast). This US claim isn’t extending coast (so no control of the water column or surface), only continental shelf and mining rights
