Any one who flies on a packed airline is a fucking idiot.

11. 16 days ago I was stuck in Pakistan

The US diplomatic core arranged an evacuation flight that got me back to the US. The continuing flight from IAD to the next hub was full.

You have no idea why any individual is flying. You don’t know their circumstances or their reasons for travel.

I know you meant no ill by you comment, but it’s none of your fucking business.

Now, that’s not to say air travel shouldn’t be much more regulated - having recently traveled it abso-fucking-lutely should be - but I’d rather take that risk than the risk of dying alone in a foreign country that is not at all equipped for this.
