7. As an Atlanta-area resident, I generally fly on Delta at least a couple of times a year.

I am going to let them know I’m avoiding air travel until I have more confidence in the safety of flying. (I know driving is overall much more dangerous statistically, but flying seems much riskier with the slash-and-burn crowd in charge.)

If enough CEOs notice that the Mump regime is bad for business, we might start seeing some resistance from the C-suite.
