I don't know if you all heard but they are having a lot of issues right now. There are flight attendants and pilots either going on strike or flat out quitting over the vaccine mandates. I applaud them for it but I feel like this is only going to result in what the rich people want. They don't want everyday people to be able to afford the luxury of flights. It is almost as if they knew the budget airlines would tank first. What are your thoughts on all this?

    Well if everyone quit across the board there wouldn't be any expensive flights either.

    One of my pals got stranded going to Vegas it’s madness.
    There is some mess happening down in Vegas too. A family friend (someone my mom is friends with) said when they were down in Vegas just a few weeks back, they couldn't get any towels for the room. Everyone just telling them no. The one staff woman there that cleans the rooms told her that she had never seen this level of a mess and she has worked in Vegas for over 30 years. She said people are not showing up for work, or just quitting and the people who clean the sheets and towels are short-staffed as well.

    I’m glad last time I went was before it got really crazy. I think I may need to stay away for the next year.

    Probably for the best. I would imagine any place that is a tourist destination is going to be a mess for a few years. At least here in the US. People keeping talking about things going back to normal in 2022. I am not seeing it. lol
