The lawsuit filed by the state of Texas listed all the states and violations. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case based on standing although any state to state conflict has no other remedy except the Supreme Court. The concept of original jurisdiction was completely ignored as Texas clearly has standing when its election laws were followed to the letter while other states ignored theirs and made changes that serve to dilute the votes of the citizens of states following the law. If you are a Biden person I don't expect any change in your position just as I wouldn't expect any change from a Trump supporter. What I would like to see is everyone looking closely at how both sides have screwed us, how the corporations have nearly total control of our representatives, and how we need to clean house to get back to "government by the people". I want a constitutional government and we can't have that with either of our current parties.

To not come to work. To not have to lay eyes or ears on a flight attendant, a TSA smurf, a flag tie, or smell vomit or feces or air freshener wafting out of the lav or your seat cushion, to not have to watch and feel your captain treat every braking event like an RTO in Key West, to not have to hear the phrase “it’s just allergies” or “good jet”, to not have to smell wet socks and wonder if you’re being poisoned, no simulators, no VPTs, no farts, no body odors, no airport food, man the list goes on literally forever.
I’ve been asked why I’m taking ETO every two or three months as opposed to a long term EXTO. Because after a month off I kind of want to go flying. It takes a trip or two to remind me of why I took ETO.
It’s kind of like your high school girlfriend. After a while you only remember the good stuff. You need to run into her 47 year old self at a high school football game, talk for ten minutes to be reminded of the crazy and think “oh yeah... now I remember”

I was thinking of turning it into one of those motivational-style posters with an inspiring picture to hang on my wall.

You sound like a “good chit”. Maybe we can share some jetway bukaki one day.

Nah, why would I want to see four koolies shaking hands outside the good jet while the best of wal-mart trips and stumbles on the severely canted mildew-infested jetway and the aisle donkey barks at everyone to “maintain distance”. Did I mention I’m on EXTO? FUPM.

Dude... that’s a bit harsh. Think you may need a reminder that there is no FUPM or ExTO without those people - all of them - insuring the wheels don’t come off the bus.
