Because the democrats are politically impotent and incompetent and we need a third party yesterday.

1. JFK and LGA (tie) the standard by which all bad airports measure themselves for over 40 years. Dirty, disorganized, congested even after hundreds of millions of $ in “improvements”. So expensive to get to and from that your cab fare is sometimes more than your plane ticket. A giant food desert.

2. PHL Where does one even begin? The only major American airport without CLEAR and for good reason. They would probably need 500 employees to staff the 900 check in locations spread over 7 terminals literally glued to each other. How planes don’t collide while taxiing is beyond me.

3. LAX Could easily take the top spot if you travel internationally through the “Tom Bradley International terminal” billed as an “airport within an airport” which means it’s very hard to get to, sets you up for missing your flight and unless you’re in an international lounge is an awful place.

4. LAS Again, important to provide context…You are not catching travelers at their best and the airport is not in the business of changing that. If you’re going to carry the vegas theme at the airport, maybe invest in some decent lounges, eateries where hammered bachelorettes can nurse a hangover.

5. ATL see ORD and substitute United for Delta but essentially the same ugly, congested, delay or cancelation prone airport. Since i hardly fly delta, i mostly avoid it.

6. ORD The scene of some of my worst travel nightmares but im trying to be objective. A cold, characterless, ugly, poorly functional behemoth which somehow also happens to be the nation’s largest airport by flight volume. There is literally ONE GOOD PLACE TO EAT: Rick Bayless Torta frontera.

7. MCO let’s be real. If you’re traveling to Orlando especially during peak Disney season, you’re asking for it. They could at least try to make it more travel friendly but instead have this stupid monorail, a god awful layout, 0 food options (other than the cuban place that makes good coffee).

8. DFW would you like to access your gate directly from the curb? We tried and failed and as a result we spread our terminals over miles of dead space you have to walk, to get anywhere. Unless you enjoy fried poor quality Tex/mex, you will starve if stuck there.

9. IAD Let’s put a major American airport servicing most of United’s international east coast flights in the middle of Virgina farmland. Let’s then not spend a cent investing in it for 20 years. (2/10)

We would be dying of measles, eating dirt and listening to god bless the USA on loop all day (and that’s torture).

Every far right wing supporter with any kind of visibility is a disgruntled, washed up, potentially unstable or untalented person (Kevin Sorbo, the WWE guy, Kanye, the mypillow guy, Rambo…)
Imagine if our cultural and scientific sphere was exclusively populated by these types.

He donated to and voted for Obama and Hillary. Then Mr. Musk had a breakdown related to a personal life event which he blames on the “woke mind virus” and today…DOGE
Not a single, sane, rational person would support any of the core beliefs of the far right.

Name me one person who espouses far right wing ideology and has made significant contributions to science, business, academia or art.
Elon Musk you say?
Until 4 years ago, entrepreneur and father of 13 (and counting) Elon Musk was your run of the mill Bay Area liberal.

Actually that is exactly how it is for us too. You’re also correct about the 3 am text the attending for patient requesting Tums.

For context, the median survival of persons with compensated cirrhosis is much longer than 5 years. By progression I am assuming you mean a decompensating event.
Good news though…
