Why can’t we have these term limits in Congress and all governorships?

Because term limits don't stop corrupt behavior, force out experienced and effective legislators, speed up the revolving door from politician to lobbying, and gives those lobbyists more sway over new politicians who are just getting familiar with the job and how to legislate.

Campaign finance reform, strong anti-corruption laws, ethics oversight, and fair redistricting are much more effective at making politicians responsive to their constituents and legislate for them instead of special interest groups with deep pockets.

And the ones who have been there forever aren’t in lobbies pocket books. Pelosi,
McConnell, Schumer? The list can go on and on.

All power corrupts and as the federal government has accreted more and more power to itself, the corruption has worsened.

But the forum is about airlines...., remember?

Back on topic, kinda:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/...=1000429119037

The link is for the new episode of “How I built this” podcast from NPR. Doesn’t talk about Moxy really at all till the end; however, you do get to hear how Neeleman grew up in the airline biz as a serial entrepreneur.
