President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

In terms of network performance and bandwidth, wireless will almost certainly never be as good as a wired connection.

 

What gets me the most is that the msm is suppose to be so biased yet the fox people prove every day that they are actual right wingers. Practically flaunting it. Maybe their viewers are as ignorant as people say they are.





More to be announced!! They must mean all the other anchors/talking heads at fox.

In the airline industry, people being charged differently based on their usage patterns has long been a thing. Same with hotels, restaurants ... tons of other industries.

Business travelers subsidize leasure travelers.

 

So? It’s not like they’re doing so or the airlines are allowing it out of some sense of benevolence. All that means is that the corporate side is the overwhelmingly profit center of the business.

 

Two way street. Leisure travelers fill planes that would otherwise fly half empty. Half empty routes get the number of flights cut or are discontinued altogether. The airlines have incentive not to raise rates too high for them.
