Space force has to start somewhere.

It was a long, solid run, but we have now found a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Doesn't stop me from sneaking some puffs and holding them in for 30 seconds so nothing comes out of my mouth a couple times on each flight, to hold me over ... lol ...

And what exactly is 'during flight' WRT voice calls? Is that just 'while in the air' (which is not a biggie to ban IMHO) or does it include 'time on the ground' ... which would be lame, esp. at destinations while taxiing to the gate.

And why is a Hurricane Relief package ... part of this bill?

And WTF is a 'Spaceport'? Is this part of the 'Space Farce' I mean Force?

And I see no reason to re-allow supersonic flights over the US ... nobody has even made supersonic passenger jets since, what, the early 1980's?

But OVERALL ... sure. It mostly sounds good

Due to many reasons, mostly economical, but also because they can't operate them over the US.

This removes one barrier to advancing that technology.

The real changes actually cost you money...

How many people put animals in the overhead bins?
Spaceport?

L-

Yeah, there are a few seeming boondoggles shoehorned in (like the Space Port office) that eat tax money, and setting seat size minimums ultimately will lead to the cost of a flight being split by fewer passengers, but what items specifically don't you like?
