    Great time to travel international due to Biden's economic stewardship!

    (note: this is a tongue in cheek false attribution to something that is a bit complicated. You know, like inflation and gas prices)

    It would be a good time to travel, but Secretary Booty Judge has messed that up too. :oops:

    So he was responsible for the decision by the airlines to significantly cut their workforce in 2020 kind of like the way Biden was responsible for Trump's decision to pressure OPEC to cut production at roughly the same time?
    United Airlines plans to cut more than 16,000 jobs as coronavirus continues to hammer demand
    American Airlines to cut 19,000 jobs when federal aid expires in October
    American and United cutting 32,000 jobs as federal aid plans stall | CNN Business
    American Airlines, United to Cut 32,000 Jobs as Washington Debates Relief
    Tens of thousands of airline workers are out of jobs after Congress fails to reach deal
    Alaska Airlines to furlough or lay off more employees as COVID-19 grips travel industry
    And it wasn't just US airlines although I guess Buttigieg was responsible for foreign airlines reducing the number of their workers even before he took office like Biden was responsible for inflation in EU countries.

    I’m in Europe for two weeks. The math is easy. 1:1 ratio to Euro is the best deal I’ve had over here.

    These were from Rome. The kids walking away top left I like the best. I may leave professional political troll posting for professional camera work.

    Yes it is and in case you are unaware there is a significant lead time between the hiring of airline employees before they are actually productive. This is especially true for pilots but there is also a lead time for flight attendants, mechanics and ground crews . The graph below may be informative.
