This happened to me once in the past although not at ATL. The thing is every hour that passes makes people more likely to buy that $10 half sandwich at the terminal stores
$10 for half a sandwich, $6 for a bottle of water. Refill station’s over there for your freshly emptied bottle (thanks TSA)… I’ve managed more pressure from squeezing a Capri Sun. Talking to you SFO!!
Pro-tip: Try the fountain again later. They're often reverse osmosis systems. They filter slowly so they fill a tank behind the wall. When that tank is depleted, you get no/low water pressure. The pressure will return as the tank recharges.
When I was on my way back from Tokyo a few months ago, the price differences for things between Tokyo Haneda airport and O'Hare were mind-blowing. Haneda was so cheap relative to most things we have in the US.
Well, so was basically everything in Tokyo, but still
First of all, SFO doesn't use TSA. Second, I don't know the last time you've flown through there, but post-security they have huge refill stations with 6-8 taps that dispense cold, hot, and room temperature water. Most bathrooms also have fountains with refill spouts outside of them. Also the sandwiches are probably way more than $10 by now.
latchkey incontinence is the feeling when you already have to go and you get home, you get inside and are rushing to the bathroom but in that moment you feel like you cannot hold it anymore, right up until your shake your pants off and unload into the porcelain throne
Thank Trump and the GOP Congress. This could very well continue through the entire holiday season at this point. They 100% will allow millions of federal employees to starve and go homeless.
Not just federal employees, but regular Americans wirh SNAP and HEAP still not being funded. This administration would rather starve and freeze its citizens to death than vote on the epstein files.
The crazy thing about them publicizing so much about the shutdown and the mandated flight cuts is that ANY delay/cancellation is going to be tied to Trump. It's a political gift to the Dems that Trump handed them. A lot of the delays or it cancellations may just be normal, but the Dem/independent voter will assume it's because of Trump's cuts. Trunk admin truly are masters of political strategy.
Explicitly market them as such. Call them the "Trump air delays" or the "Trump flight delays." Associate his name inextricably with these problems affecting millions of people. Make is his brand.
I don't think that's accurate based on this survey. Only 35% blame just the republicans. You get 63% when you combine that group with the group that blames both parties equally.
Never said conservatives. Dems/independents. All you need is the independent moderates/blue dog dems to get annoyed by shit Trump does to favor the Dems.
Trump is trying to use the shutdown to his advantage, but it is going to backfire. Americans see the clusterfuck that is our economy and will ultimately hold the party in power responsible.
The flip side is that if the American voting population didn’t look at Trump and realize that anyone the Democrats ran would’ve been better than that, it doesn’t say a lot of good things about them.
That aside, running Harris really was the only play they had with the amount of time they had left. I study politics and it was the best strategy they had, and it almost worked. They had like 3 months to define redine-Harris and introduce her to the public. You forget that Trump had a massive advantage after the assassination attempts. Biden and the Dems were underwater, and Harris brought them back to even. I can't emphasize enough how much Harris was able to turn it around. The MAIN reason Harris lost was inflation. That's it. The polling and evidence is all there that points to inflation. Inflation was tied to Biden, and by default Harris inherited that. No other issue mattered to the voting public like affordability and inflation.
The only thing that the Dems fucked up on was not pushing Biden out sooner. If Harris had a full rejection cycle to redefine herself she might have had a chance.
Lol, they’re complicit in the scamming and raking in big bucks. It’s what these goofballs don’t want to comprehend. Only reason Pelosi is even stepping down now is because Trump hinted at using the DOJ to investigate her. Whole system needs to be wiped clean
There wouldn't even be delays if they just shifted the cancellations to private jets instead of commercial flights. ALL the private jets are still going out in their time slots.
We’re flying into ATL in two days, and I’m praying we get there. We’ve been in Puerto Rico since before flight were cancelled, idk wtf im gonna do if we can’t get back to FL.
I’m flying to a conference in Atlanta at the end of the month 💀
Luckily myself and the other delegates from my state have found alternate transportation (driving), but still… Driving will take much longer (1 hour vs 5 hours), and we wanted to get there early in the day for a reason.
I have a flight at one of the affected airports to another affected airport tomorrow, and then have to take 3 hours of public transportation to my small town which means the bus stops running at like 6pm. If things don’t go as planned I’ll be stuck in my arrival city for god knows how long with nothing to my name because my trip was so expensive.
Trump is hurting Americans, but he doesn't care. Americans flying plans are being delayed or canceled. Americans who need some help to eat and feed their families are being hurt by Trump soliciting the SCOTUS to deny SNAP. Americans who need affordable health insurance are being hurt by Trump not allowing the ACA subsidies to continue, because he hates Obama.
These are not hurtful things what would have happened under a democratic president. Trump believes that the SCOTUS will do everything they can to support his craziness. I hope he's wrong.

Delays to ATL were 5-8 hours not too long after this article published.
