That's pretty strange. I'm buying the hard stuff from a privatized liquor store here in liberal Seattle.

I see what you did there.
My wife pumps several times a day while at work and brings home the milk. I (or another person) can feed the baby via bottle at home.
It's not easy, but it can be done. The baby still gets all the nutritional benefits, but unfortunately not the bonding experiences.
No, it's because people now "require" a 3000 sq ft house, a home theater, $200 monthly cable subscription, $200 monthly cell phone bills, and 2 cars each costing north of $25000.
People in the "good old days" only needed a single income because they didn't "need" anywhere near this level of luxuries that we have today.
Do the Google hits that associate [name] with [crime] suddenly disappear when they are exonerated?
Since they're Chechnyans, they are, in the literal sense of the word, Caucasians.
To put up with a week of cruiseline food and entertainment, I think most of the rich would rather just pay the top cap gains rate instead.
My pregnant wife wanted a manual pat-down, and this TSA drone proceeded to give me a lecture about how we shouldn't be afraid of "radiation" and how it's very safe. Then I told him that the government never released any health test data from these machines, et cetera. Thinking back, he could have given me a lot of trouble for that talkback, but didn't.
It's hard to have long term plans in a direct or indirect democracy. Too many people having too much say in things.
Ignoring the social and economic costs for a moment - prior to the Beijing Olympics, the government built an entire subway line under a crowded world capital city in 7 months. Projects like this require a "benevolent" dictator.
Airlines and plane manufacturers are very sensitive to weight.
A 12 oz canned beverage is served to 2 passengers. For a flight with 150 people, that's 75 cans - about 60 lbs. Do the math and you're all of the sudden paying for fuel to carry tens of millions of pounds every year in your fleet - and that's just the complementary beverages.
Every little bit counts. Delta, for example, saved $210,000 a year by removing a single strawberry from their first class salads. If a pack of peanuts goes up by a penny, it's an extra $600,000 a year. These "little" things add up.
Nah, don't knock Ryan Air. If you follow on their instructions exactly, and carry no more than and no bigger than their restrictions and buy nothing onboard, you can do very well.
I flew from Madrid to Morocco for 10 Euros after taxes, and had my backpack with me.
This was the premise of a Stephen King short story. A little boy decides to hold his breath while they administered the "gas" just to see what happens during hyper teleportation or whatever, and bad things happened.
