Don't you HATE Getting Ripped-Off by the Airlines?
Actually, when you look at the numbers ...
So, yesterday I bought an Airline Ticket, Houston TX to Guadalajara MX. A mere 190.57$ round-trip non-stop. Not bad, huh? Well, at least if you can’t remember the old days.1
Let’s look at the costs:
Plane Fare: 39.44
VAT: .38
TAX: 93.95
Airport Fee: 56.80
Total: 190.57
The Plane Fare2 is only 21% of the cost, all the rest is FEES and TAXES!
Imagine being an Airline Company — you are basically a Revenue-Gathering Agency for the Government3; now you get a 20% cut, but for this measly 20% and you have to run an airline. Assuming a 5% profit margin, you’re only getting 1% of the cut and have to do a shitload of work for it.4
I’m thinking I sure would rather come back as a wolf (or a government or mafia) rather than an Airline Company, because I’m by nature quite lazy.
So, looking at the numbers, I really don’t worry about getting ripped-off by the Airlines. But I do hate getting screwed by the Medical Industrial Complex (step aside Banksters and even the Military Industrial Complex) which seems to own this country, and even own our president, given his most recent speech: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-live-president-biden-explains-why-vaxxd-breakthroughs-are-all-unvaxxd-fault
And, no, I’m not going to be “Patriotic” and get “Vax’d” (injected with an experimental mRNA concoction which seems to have no effect on “Cases”) for this MSM Hyped-Hysteria Mass-Psychosis CoVid-1984 Fear-Pandemic5 for which “we” Americans have already paid over 10 Trillion dollars and so we now have probably 15% inflation which has already eaten up that “free bonus” money the government sent me last year (you know, 10 for them and 1 for us). Shit, it took the Military Industrial Complex a whole decade or two and a few more wars than one on an invisible virus to get that sort of money.
When will they stop ? Maybe when people stop “going along” with all this Bullshit.
Look, here’s a tip kids: if you want to buy Real Genuine B.S., composted cow manure is sold at Bear Hardware for 3.99$/40 pounds. Earlier this year is was 2.99$/40 pounds.
You know you’re really fucked when when the price for Real Genuine Bullshit goes up by 33%.
And I’ll also say, selling bullshit by the pound, is bullshit. The dried bullshit weighs almost nothing; you’re basically buying 40 pounds of water6.
Bullshit on top of bullshit on top of bullshit. Here, would you like a little bullshit along with your bullshit?
I’m getting tired of paying so much money for such shitty bullshit.
Just to end this with something “light”: today, in Southern Indiana, the days will be 1 second longer than yesterday, and a light(?) video for you to watch:
Well, I didn’t pay extra to select my seat, nor extra for even a carry-on (I’ve learned to travel light), but I remember the daze — The days when traveling coach you could always get a window seat, flip up the seats in a center isle of a 747 and make a bed, have GOOD meals served on real china with real silverware, with cloth napkins, and GOOD coffee with some cognac and a smoke after the meal. Not to mention free baggage and free carry-on’s. And no cattle chutes. I can even see why today they now charge me for water when I used to get wine poured from a bottle into a nice wine glass actually made from glass for free with my really good meal. Yep, I remember the Old Days:
You know, the price of an airline ticket has probably never had anything to do with the cost of flying, sometimes it’s all about politics or herding the sheeple. E.g., I remember, when in Japan, it was more expensive to fly to Beijing from Tokyo (650 miles), than to fly round-trip from NY to Beijing (6,800 miles). Like, ever wonder why tickets were always so cheap to gambling locations? Here’s a tip kids: there used to be really good deals flying to Reno if you want to Ski or snowshoe in Tahoe!
In the same way Oil Companies are merely revenue-gathering-agencies for the government, and look at all the work they have to do. Think about that next time you fill up your car. Hug an Oil Company today.
Yeah, running an Airline: Dealing with customers like me, not to mention worrying about fuel, weather, employees, government regulations, pilots, scheduling, making a profit, airplane maintenance, the occasional crashes, etc., etc., etc.

I guess things are getting pretty bad when I trust a Comedian more than the President when it comes to CoVid-1984.
Yes, every bag of bullshit is exactly 40 pounds because they add just the right amount of water to make it so.
Ah, the days when most umans spoke truths...
And politeness was the norm. Up here in nort snowta (mn), some of this cordial stuff carries on. Merry Xmas to all and give a help to the elderly this winter!
I worked in a corporate office for a major airline (United) and I can confirm. It's a shitty business. Their cost-cutting measures are extreme. They have a policy of paying white collar staff at 80% of market rate. Their offices are no-frill, stereotypical shitholes. We moved our own equipment and DESKS to a different floor while I was there. Turnover is insane (average tenure is two years, if I recall).
Buying and operating airport terminals and big ass jets for low margins is a ridiculous business model.

You must be referring to the engineered narratives coming out of mainstream news media and controlled opposition "alt media" influencers. It's complex and inconsistent to such a degree that even the intelligence operators behind the scene cannot make sense of the stories they are telling.
If you've read this far and are interested, watch the documentary "Hypernormalization" by Adam Curtis. He explains modern propaganda techniques and strategies, pioneered by post-Soviet Russians. It's apparent that we are being corralled (or at least they are attempting to corral us) into segregated information ghettos using limited hangouts and firehoses of falsehood through mainstream lies, alt media half-truths and "dark corner" hard truths decorated with extreme heaping mounds of horseshit.
It's an incredible system that works. Until it doesn't. And we are starting to see that the most intelligent people who live in their "dark corner" have figured out what's going on.
Now we need to spread awareness.
TLDR:
Everything the mainstream media says is designed to corral the masses into a dead-end left-right dialectic. They never hesitate to lie and they don't care if they are exposed. Their job is to influence the gullible masses.
Most of what the alt media says is designed to keep intelligent, curious people in that left-right paradigm and paralyze them with demoralization. Some of it is true, some of it is false but plausible. All of it is designed to direct your attention toward a contrived enemy and make you feel that resistance is futile.
The "dark corner" influencers are people like David Icke, Jeff Rense and Q. These people are fed some incredible, true information and allowed to publish it. This category of propaganda is targeted toward to the most intelligent, curious, open-minded and effective minority (the seeds of potential resistence). But their "sources" take giant shits in the punchbowl with information about aliens, lizard people and so forth to prevent it from reaching the alt media. The dark corner propaganda is designed to discredit inside resistance. If the hard truths are leaked or made public in any way, they will be tied to insane conspiracies about demons, aliens, blood harvesting from children, etc.
It's an impressive system. But it's vulnerable once you understand it.
Let's expose it.
TLDR 2:
If you follow mainstream news, most of what you read or watch is carefully planned bullshit. If you follow the alt media, you will find some truth and some bullshit. If you think you've found an incredible source of truth that nobody else seems to know about, you have indeed found some truth, but a lot of it is insane bullshit.
Nobody is telling the full truth. If they are, they will soon be imprisoned or killed.
