Real Talk:
"Hide post for me" is crap.

I often want a temp post hit for current events. But, when I repost on bS, it sticks like a bad rash, no matter how many times I hit "hide post for me".

What's up with that? Is this really social media that -I- control? Not feeling it right now.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
