    I’m going to be leaving the country in a few months. Legit wondering would it be safer for me to bus to Canada then take a plane out of there instead of a plane direct out of the US?

      You are more likely to die from a bus crash. Highways are way more deadly per mile than airlines.

      The last time the US had a commercial airline crash with high fatalities was 16 yrs ago. While this crash is appalling, it is irrational to avoid air travel in favor of highway miles.

        They need to pay them more. I also have a job like this that has had studies that show it shortens your lifespan.

    When you’re too far into capitalism and you’ve already exhausted all the ways to make them “quarterly profits” and now you’re just firing people and letting shit run itself and as a result people are dying from plane crashes. Fucking A capitalism, baby.
