What third world country do you live in?

Reread the summary..

I’m surprised there’s not a politician holding this record.

Fire up the intergalactic VPN and let’s research alien organs on AlienPornHub!

I suspect a large number are more familiar with the US system than the current UK system, due to the large number of American police procedurals.

I bet none of that invalidates the OP's reason for only wanting to fly with only fellow vaccinated passengers.

Nope, not in my city (Nordic city). In the downtown location we go for a beer after work and then take the tram or train or bus back to the home area. Out of town office location means a car. There are no bars or cafes there only lunch places which close at 1pm. People aren't going to drive to the city centre and have a beer then drive home. The laws are very strict on the alcohol and parking a nightmare.

Of course, during COVID the bars are closed or so have so restricted access that we don't use them anyway.

And I'm my late 40s so not exactly in the clubbing age.

Which one is in jail on chargers? That's the person who is supposed to be presumed guilty. This is not hard to follow.

Maybe it depends on the nation or city you work in, but city-center office have a higher perceived value because of restaurants, cafes, transport links etc etc.

One company I worked at had a great location for that and my team loved it. After hours beers were great for team morale. Then we got a fat-fuck new Managing Director who preferred to drive his flashy German car to the office, so we all moved to some edge-of-city location so that he could drive into the basement car park and take his private elevator to the office. Transport links sucked and car parking was limited for everyone else. A lot of us jumped ship before the board realized he was a self-centered asshole and fired him.

Best post I’ve read in years.

Just to add:

1. for my team, executing already planned work is better remotely (less distractions and meetings), but planning new work is much harder.

2. Working with existing colleagues is fine - we know how to make jokes and get on with each other. Getting to know someone remotely is much harder. Team cohesion suffers. Previously I used to fly in remote sub contractors in for a week to get to know the others. The SAFe process management foisted on me had exactly one benefit - my international team came together 4 x a year. Now that’s all stopped.

Is this the way American justice works now? Guilty until proven innocent. Why isn’t the former President in jail given this radical change?

If anything, it was the industrial revolution that brought around the end of slavery. The economics changed and made owning people less attractive. I don’t think's a coincidence that the first industrial great power was also the first to abolish (and enforce the ban) slavery.

Well Phantom Menace came out 6 years before YouTube was founded. Do you think that could be a reason?

So the USA was dragged into a war before there was a USA? Time-travel much?

Most people who slate the newer movies have no idea who she is. The directors of those movie got the hate instead. Everyone knows George Lucas. For my vote Lucas got much more opprobrium.
