BrikoX , in A judge has ruled Texas' abortion ban is too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

Judge only “granted a temporary injunction” not made a final ruling.

Also it’s pointless.

The temporary injunction is intended to last until the lawsuit is decided. But under Texas law, a ruling is automatically stayed as soon as it is appealed.

eh, the CEO’s parents arent going to ride on the same airplane as the plebes. what kind of nonsensical logic is that?

Ehrm, what?

It’s in response to a quote from the article, “If the CEO - Scott Kirby’s parents were on that plane, would he have done something?” said Ieronimo.

It’s called a hypothetical question

Exactly, how are airlines and landlords the two service industries that get a complete pass at treating customers like we're lucky they let us give them our money. (And utilities, ISPs... I'm gonna need a bigger list aren't I?)

What a nightmare. Flying sucks even when nothing goes wrong.

FartSmarter ,

Seriously, i was just on a plane that was stuck on the tarmac for around 20 minutes and the plane was super hot (thanks Phoenix) and I thought I was going to freak out at some point. Also made me realize I should really have a bottle of water with me on every flight

elbarto777 ,

I like flying, especially when nothing goes wrong.

We tend to take things for granted. Could the service be better? You bet. But what’s the alternative to go from, say, Japan to Argentina? Weeks, months?

Damn. You have a point.

irkli , in Ocean heat record broken, with grim implications for the planet
@irkli@lemmy.world avatar

Aren’t we tired yet of “record” temperatures? How long we gonna play this game? Whenevery month is hotter then the last one? This isn’t temporary. Sheesh.

schroedingershat ,

Don’t worry, geoengineering to mask the absolute worst of it will start soon and everyone will pretend it’s not a problem for another decade.

United Airlines. Not surprised.

American are just as bad. A similar thing happened to my wife last month.

She and a bunch of other passengers missed their connecting flights due to the airline’s incompetence. She stood in line for four hours, without food or water, to wait her turn for American to get her on another flight but as she neared the end of the line the staff closed up their desks and said “sorry folks, come back tomorrow” and walked off, leaving her and about 50 other people to basically sleep on the floor and wait for them to re-open five hours later.

No mention of finding them a place to stay, nor providing even a bite to eat. Zip. Nada.

While it’s not quite as bad as what these poor people went through, it’s the same “not my problem; sucks to be you” energy from the airline.

This is what a lack of consumer protections gets you. In Europe this wouldn’t fly (pun intended).

gravitas_deficiency ,

I believe the Department of Transportation actually has fairly strict regulations about this. Report the incident to them; they may be able to point you in the right direction for seeking recourse, even if they don’t get directly involved.

elbarto777 ,

Where was this?

argo_yamato ,

The article states it was the Newark, New Jersey airport.

elbarto777 ,

No, not the article. I meant, where did OP have the bad experience with American Airlines?

shadowspirit , in Child from Honduras is one of two people dead on or near Texas’ anti-migrant border buoys

Too many things I want to reply to.

Sorry a kid died because their parents were ‘breaking the law’ How did a kid manage to make it to the border Nobody accused Abbott of being a good person Death traps. Roll a DC 15 constitution save.

Remember when there was a time that the president of the United States characterized the place we live as, “a shining beacon on a hill” and “bring us your tired, your weary, your broken masses” (sic) …

The USA, despite your opinion, remains one of the most wealthy, prominent, and aspirational places to be (or arguably has ever existed) … you can choose one of two paths …

You can feel empathy for those that suffer and try to find a way by any means or you can say fuck 'em.

Choose empathy. We need a more effective, rational border policy. I’m not all rainbows and sunshine. One thing that needs to happen is an amendment to the constitution. Just because you’re here and pump babies out doesn’t make xyz a citizen. That is a supremely archaic provision of the constitution that needs amendment. It’s no small part as to why some people risk their lives just to get here.

Ultimately people want to improve their station in life and we should not begrudge them for doing so. Improving one’s station is what we all wish for. We need to put pressure on our politicians to do things to IMPROVE the situation because the status quo is not only immoral but impractical.

trooperjess ,

I hate to tell you this. But has always been this way in the us. It used to be that the USA has a quota amount that we would except in the us. That’s one of the main reasons that you sure turned away from New York. Cuz I would have to increase the quote on the West Coast

shadowspirit ,

You’re right but we also didn’t go drown them in the Hudson. The southern border can be a savage place. I’ll never forget stepping out of the car during a cross-country trip and immediately losing my breath due to the heat.

trooperjess ,

I’m not disagreeing with you at all just pointing out that this attitude isn’t out of the norm for the USA. I will state this next sentence kinda the same pattern with US the bullshit at the border we just didn’t kill people. But is True for most of the time in the us history. The USA would just send the the people back on the boat that came in one. But in the late 1930 and early 1940 we sent many jews back to Germany to be gassed, starved, and worked to death. Did US pull the trigger no. But did the US doom them I would say yes but at that time wasn’t known what would happen when her were returned. That being said just pick up the people and send them back across the border it isn’t that hard. Does it cost money yes but damnit I don’t think traps need to be laid to kill people.

DarkShaggy , in Phony bank accounts resurface at Wells Fargo, with a twist

This is such a fluff piece. They’re trying to get everyone riled up by inaccurately linking this to the sales scandal. This is run of the mill new account fraud with synthetic identity and every bank struggles with this every single day. Not even journalism tbh.

pyromaniac_donkey , (edited ) in Child from Honduras is one of two people dead on or near Texas’ anti-migrant border buoys

Call me crazy but maybe it’s not the US fault people from third world countries die trying to enter illegally in their country

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Illegal immigration violates civil code, not criminal code. You’re saying people deserve to die for doing the same level of crime as speeding or littering.

CmdrShepard ,

It is if they set up the trap that lead to their deaths.

spacedancer , in Phony bank accounts resurface at Wells Fargo, with a twist

I hate that they have the best cash back credit card right now according to nerdwallet. I want to get a new credit card as a backup but I really want to avoid wells fargo.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Do they? Many banks have a 2% cash back card and a bunch have the “rotating 5%” thing. I doubt they’re that much better

Tb0n3 , in Child from Honduras is one of two people dead on or near Texas’ anti-migrant border buoys

How did a child from Honduras get to the Texas border? Was he, in fact, part of an illegal border crossing group?

User_4272894 ,

Why don’t we ask him?

Tb0n3 ,

We don’t have to. It’s pretty obvious a child a few countries away from home dying at the border between countries was trying to cross illegally. They didn’t just get lost on the way home from school.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

Probably the same way karl shittenhouse crossed state lines with an illegally carried weapon.

Tb0n3 , (edited )

The borders between states is nowhere near the same as the border is between sovereign nations. We do have the right to travel. It’s not just a meme from sovereign citizens. And as far as I’m aware, he was not charged with a crime for having a firearm. He was legally allowed to carry it.

pozbo ,
@pozbo@lemmy.world avatar

Not being charged with a crime doesn’t necessarily make the action legal. Not unless a precedent is set, and in this case none was.

Neato , in Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

Well this violates 18 U.S. Code § 115.

(B)threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder, a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under such section,

with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with such official, judge, or law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such official, judge, or law enforcement officer on account of the performance of official duties, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).

(4)A threat made in violation of this section shall be punished by a fine under this title or imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years, or both, except that imprisonment for a threatened assault shall not exceed 6 years.

Like, that's textbook. Also if this threat is taken seriously by other members in the trial, this could easily extend into witness tampering, jury intimidation.

tallwookie , in Prosecutors ask judge to issue protective order after Trump post appearing to promise revenge
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

appearing to, or actually doing it? cuz they’re two wildly separate things

The news will always say “alleged” or “appearing” in order to avoid potential libel lawsuits.
