Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1978 | So far this year, 22 people have been pushed into oncoming trains or onto the subway tracks in NYC. The average was once, about one in every fifty years. Wanda Vela chains herself to a pole while waiting for the train. “It’s bad out here. People want to push people into trains — that ain’t gonna happen to me,” |

I think people have generally lost their minds all over the place. On airplanes, at restaurants, etc. Got drive-thru at Taco Bell and they had a big sign up on the window basically begging people to be nice and not attack them for no reason. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

What was different was it was about cash. Before that skyjackings were political or just some Cuban wanted to go home. It does blow my mind that in my lifetime you could just walk on a plane no security checks. The President is a fink. |

I do remember flying being an adventure. Most people dressed up a bit and they actually served edible food, even in coach. It changed along the way and now they are bus tubes in the sky. Then you have the idiots who decide they want to protest mask usage in an inappropriate space. Put them on no fly forever... |
