The last flight I took was in March of this year, and I decided then that it would be the last flight I would take until the fascists are strung up. I used to fly four to six times a year on business, but no more. I can do damn near everything online in a Zoom or Google Meet meeting, and I think the physical risk of flying right now is FAR too high, and that's not even counting the likelihood of being trapped in an airport for days on end. I figure Trump is going to crash the airline industry on top of everything else.
