OK, as I spend the night in JFK airport, let me get something off my chest: stranded in New York for 3 nights and americanair will not provide a hotel voucher, so I'm over 700 dollars out of pocket. Why not? Because they're coding crew and maintenance issues as "weather-related." I just found out a guy headed for Argentina got a hotel voucher because his flight cancellation was coded as "crew-related." My flight to Madrid was cancelled due to the captain not showing up and it was coded "weather-related" - so dozens of passengers were left to fend for themselves. Had this crew issue been coded as.. yes, you guessed, as a crew issue, vouchers would have been issued. Not acceptable, American.

Just got into Heathrow from JFK. Some people are suggesting americanair is playing above board in denying hotel vouchers to stranded customers. Some of the time, they follow the rules, sure. But they are also remarkably adept at finding loopholes to short-change their customers.

IN ENGLAND, POLICE CAN COME KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR FOR A "NON-CRIME HATE INCIDENT" Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson is being investigated by Essex police for a "non-crime hate incident." This is happening in England, the birthplace of the common law. Enough is enough.

The EU is censoring your speech, whether you live in Europe or not. They're doing it in private meetings with Big Tech bosses, threatening massive fines for non-compliance. We now have a better grasp of the mechanisms involved, thanks to a U.S. House Judiciary Committee report.
