  1. Oof. Lady. No. Please, no.

    On Expedia layoffs: Yup. Not surprising. Folks are scaling back on discretionary spending. Inflation is still very real. Tariffs aren’t helping. Tax cuts for billionaires definitely isn’t helping. Cuts to Medicaid isn’t helping. ‘He was (wrong) about everything.’

  2. She doesn’t seem to be doing anything but making a fool out of herself. Really, you’re sitting in a lie flat business seat therefore she’s pretty easy to ignore. Or laugh at.

  3. Seems she’s not bothering anyone. It wouldn’t bother me. Kids screaming and running amok would be much worse.

  4. @ Gary — Thanks for the reminder to continue avoiding Southwest. The magats are a bunch of white trash.

  5. @Gene — “And some, I assume, are good people…” (like the myopic few who ‘just wanted tax cuts’–but not the ‘basket of deplorables’–naw, those guys are bigots–they deserve no pity or comfort).

  6. Once again, Gene reminds all of us that there’s nobody so hateful or intolerant than a liberal when you believe different things than them.

  7. @ Gary — Thanks for the reminder to continue flying Southwest. The liberals are a bunch of smelly, weed smoking, intolerant hippies, that the world would be better without.

  8. @1990

    Keep spouting nonsense. It will take a while to fix the Biden bust and history has always shown tax cuts are good for the economy and for everyone.

  9. To AndyS, where are your receipts? The economy has historically always done better under democratic administrations.. “ Since World War II, the United States economy has performed significantly better on average under the administrations of Democratic presidents than Republican presidents. This difference is found in economic metrics including job creation, GDP growth, stock market returns, personal income growth, and corporate profits”

    Even David Stockman of the Reagan Administration admitted that the Reagan tax cuts had been “a Trojan horse to bring down the top tax rate”

  10. @ AndyS — Yeah, the econony is doing so much better now that Biden is gone, as reflected in the negative stock returns since Jan 20. Keep up the good work!

    @ Sean Murphy — I forgot, America is Great Again, and we can now sing the slave owners’ greatest hits on Southwest once again!

  11. @1990

    Every day I become more and more convinced that the song lyrics “Hello darkness, my old friend” were written about you, 1990.

  12. @Gene — Can you make any point whatsoever without name-calling? I’m guessing not. As I said, hateful and intolerant. You’re a stereotype, and proved my point perfectly.

  13. If this lady was flying to or from San Francisco, I know exactly who this is. She is a real wack job who is not interested in anyone else’s space.

    I lived in the same building she did, The Gateway in SF from 2017 to 2021. I would see her coming back from walking up and down the Embarcadero with 5lb barbells curling the whole time.

    I once got into the elevator and she dropped to the ground and started push ups. Another time, she went to ground in the elevator, putting her toes in the railing at the side and doing sit ups

    She is of sound mind.
