  • i don’t think we should act like journalism was in a great place before.

    FB capitalized on a weakened industry, but it was the industry itself that was responsible for that state.

    they really fucked themselves by not transitioning to the new market, instead insisting that it was the customers that were wrong. all these years later, i’ve yet to see a news outlet that would be worth the subscription fee. they’re mostly recycling content from other, free sites anyway.

    once the older crowd passes, traditional news outlets are done for. the ones that remain will be the ones that were providing the content all along.














  • really that depends on a number of factors. like how big the jet is, etc.

    some of those planes are pretty small.

    my friend and i worked with a guy for many years, that was also a pilot. he was a pretty frugal dude, but was fairly smart with his money. flying his small plane was a bit of a hobby for him. he owned a store location in the city we were in, but also had another store location about a hour/hour-and-half drive. sometimes he would take his plane, as it was actually cheaper and faster to go to the airport, get his plane prepped, fly out, do whatever he had to do, and fly back.

    undoubtedly he was using this as an excuse to fly his plane a bit. but i definitely know he wouldn’t have been doing it if it was costing him any significant amount of money. he wasn’t loaded, and was always about saving some money.
