So the airlines are against vaccine mandates, yet still require you to wear a mask while on their planes and then threaten you with banning from their flights or worse calling the police. When is that going to stop?
Went shopping with the charming Mrs. Luckee in Riverside and San Bernardino County today and I was pleased to see several people in the stores without masks. None of the cashiers or other shoppers said anything or gave me dirty looks for my indoor facial nudity. I assume all the other unmasked must be fellow fans of CTRL ALT Revolt.
Been listening for a while now. I think it’s true that more and more people are realizing that once you get on the treadmill (lockdowns, masks, vaccine) you don’t get off. Is it enough to resist the push they are currently coordinating for omicron? We will see. Is there a way to join the signal chat? Do you have to be a subscriber?
The City of London is a distinct political district within the greater metro London with its own rules. I think a lot of the financial stuff happens there because of the rules.
From Britannica: "The City Corporation is Britain’s oldest local government; it has the status of a county, with powers that exceed those of London’s 32 other boroughs, notably the control of its own police force. “The City,” as it is known, is only a component, relatively small in area, of the larger urban area known as London. Its area corresponds closely to that of the ancient city from which modern London has grown. The City belongs geographically to the historic county of Middlesex, but its special status and privileges gave it autonomy from that county for most of its history."
Hearing you talk about fuel and transportation brought international shipping to mind. They are pushing new emissions standards for the big ships. This article is from 2018 (was looking for more recent story but this is relevant):
"That, in turn, will drive up prices. Gasoil now trades at a premium of about $250 a ton to fuel oil, but the forward curve forecasts this will balloon to $380 per ton by early 2020.
Thomson Reuters Research estimates fuel accounts for about half a ship’s daily operating cost. Based on average fuel consumption of 20 to 80 tonnes a day (MT/day), a ship using cleaner fuel faces extra daily expenses of about $6,000 to $20,000.
For example, a VLCC, one of the biggest oil tankers at sea, will pay 25 percent more for its fuel, or an extra $500,000 on top of normal bill of $2 million, for a typical 25-day voyage from the Middle East to Japan."
Here's something newer. Expect to pay more is my amateur analysis.
"The IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee has approved a draft of new mandatory measures for a 40% reduction of carbon intensity compared to 2008 across the global shipping fleet by 2030."
Wishing things to fly does not work?

The modern aircraft have HEPA filtration systems that filter the air two to three times during a flight.

Oh so now that the bottom line is threatened the airlines salvage what they can

Medusa was your brother researching superconductors? That is materials that transmit electrical energy over long distances with minimal power loss.
I think that was probably it
