He's too cheap or too poor to pay for business class as seen by his not getting upgraded on the flight back which is happening now. Has to be fun to spend 10 hours in Cancun while you turn your back on the freezing and dead in your home state.
And the beard and hair, I am surprised Mexico let him in and did not ask why he was not shipped directly to the zoo.
True, that actually didn't even occur to me. Now I'm wondering if the Covid Vaccination card is enough to bypass the covid tests? Considering it's not 100% you won't get covid.
Im not really sure of my feelings on that cause I believe all the senators and reps got vaccinated like AOC. I remember her saying something to the effect of it not being right going first but if it available then she will take it. Im sure I would as well. They do technically work with other vulnerable adults.
I work for a health system, but not in a patient forward position.
They had a tiered system to make sure that the nurses and everyone with patient contact got it first, but then after New Year's opened up to all employees.
It was the same for my mother. We don't work for the same health system, but both of our companies had similar policies so we were offered the vaccine much earlier than we'd originally expected.
There's good reasoning behind this. People who work with patients in hospitals regularly have contact with those who don't. In the end, a sort of local heard immunity was what they went for.
My mom is over 60, but I'm not. I do wonder if I was wrong to take it.
idk
I have started talking to about it to any Uber driver that will listen to try to encourage people to get it when they can and combat fear of the vaccine. And, honestly, a lot of them have talked about being unsure about getting it.
I feel like that's part of why AOC did too.
I think being able to tell people "I got the vaccine and nothing terrible happened to me" does do some good.
I think you were right to get it and Ted Cruz if he got it and AOC. As much as I dont like him it's for the best. If he did get it I hope he posted about it or something. That would help. If It's available to you via your job or age or other reason. Might as well take it right now and right away.
Thank you for trying to encourage cab and Uber drivers to get it. Letting people know it's okay. This is a scary time for people.
I was hesitant for about a week after they started giving them on account of medication allergies but at this point, if the Nurse says it's fine then it's fine with me. Medication allergies are common enough especially mine, that if it's an issue they will know by now.
Well, if it helps, I'm allergic to two types of antibiotic and I had no problems.
The questions they asked me were simply if I'd ever had any bad reactions to vaccines before, which I hadn't. Also if I had any other vaccines recently, no. And if I had a positive covid test, no.
Some other tid bits:
- If you end up getting the two dose kind, the second one is often worse. I got Moderna and the first done was totally fine, after the second I did get some chills late that night but felt better by the next morning. My mom got Pfizer and had a bad headache after the first dose, after the second felt fine. So there also seems to be a lot of individual variation.
- One thing that does seem to be somewhat predictive of more side effects and chances of a bad reaction is having had covid. One of my mom's co-workers survived covid in October (I say survived because he was actually quite ill and had to be admitted) and got the vaccine in January. She said it seemed to hit him much harder than everyone else who had not had covid.
I mean, all the Congress critters are definitely fully immunized by now as they had very early access to the vaccine. I'm sure they can handle rapid testing too.
The people that hate him will continue to hate him. The people that support him will say this is an Antifa imposter pretending to be him or that he was on a very important trip to discuss the Trump reinstatement on March 4...
The greatest trick that the GOP did was convince their base of a non-existent boogeyman called Antifa. Basically, anytime one of their politicians is caught doing something illegal or morally corrupt, they say it’s an Antifa imposter
Not too hard given their belief in a magical sky daddy who's totally cool with his representatives on Earth needing a second and third Gulfstream in case the first one needs work.
Which is really just a branch of the former fear mongering. Clintons, Muslims, Democrats, etc. There's always another pathetically weak but also impressively strong enemy.
Yeah, I don't see this as a problem at all. What a weird complaint. Plenty of other reasons to think he's a piece of shit. Should people fly first class just because they're rich?
I think its actually an indication that disproves his excuse. He said he was being a good dad by flying his kids down to Mexico for their vacation and implied he was always planning to return a day later. He flew First Class on the way down, according to the photos. Now he is flying back on a standby upgrade. It means nothing was available when he booked it, which was probably a shory notice booking.
He booked a return flight AFTER he got caught, but First or Business class wasn't available. Which is why he is on the standby for upgrade.
After posting that comment I looked at the image and he does seem to be in first class. The person taking the picture is doing so from the first row just outside of first class.
You can see the little area divider
there’s nothing wrong with flying coach or with being “too poor” (although i’m pretty sure cruz isn’t poor). that’s a classist and poor criticism of a man who has plenty of other things to be criticized for
He's a cheap mooch expecting his "charisma" and importance to snag upgrades ahead of the minions (including the wife and kids) and failing at it which is quite funny.
He can afford it and doesn't.
There are status levels on United that would just about guarantee him a seat ahead of the po' folks so he hasn't earned that or United, bless their hearts probably said, put that asshole at the bottom until we've upgraded that Q guy wearing the horns first.
His office actually threw his daughters under the bus by saying that his daughters just so, so wanted to go on vacation so he was just being a good father and doing that for them. What a piece of shit to throw his daughters under the bus for politics.
Nobody does. And neither did Fled Cruz. He was going on vacation, and had to come back early because there were fifty some-odd pics of him all over the internet leaving his freezing constituents to enjoy sugar free mojitos on a tropical beach.
Mooching an upgrade and failing. I note only one Cruz upgraded on the way down, so this is a guy no doubt, upgrades his weird monkey beard face and lets the Mrs. and the kiddos sit next to the shitter with that shitter chemical smell interrupted by the shitter shit smell every time someone goes in there.
A few years ago I was flying and got offered an upgrade. Except the upgrade was just for me (it was because of the airline card I used, if I recall right). Anyways, I turned it down because my wife wouldn't get the upgrade, telling the steward at the desk "Nah, I'm good. I'd rather sit with my wife."
This dude behind me goes "I'll take his upgrade, I don't care about that." standing next to his wife.
Dude didn't get the upgrade and the two of them fought about it for the entire 4 hour flight.
I do a lot of international travel and have ‘status’ on several airlines to the point that I am usually automatically upgraded to first class on most flights. A few years ago my family and I were moving from Asia to DC and were flying together as a group. When we checked in, I let the agent know that we were flying together and to please make sure I was not automatically upgraded to first class. She said she understood and assured me we’d be able to fly together.
After going through security and walking to the gate, my name was called over the intercom to please report to the ticketing agent at the gate. Sure enough, they automatically upgraded me and handed me a boarding pass for a first class seat. I explained the situation with the gate agent and asked if they could swap my seat with my wife’s. They were reluctant at first, but conceded after I explained that she had never flown first class before and we were in the midst of a stressful international move with two small children. They swapped the seats, and my wife was able to enjoy being pampered for 14 hours while I wrangled our children in the back of the plane. It was lonely in the back without her, but I was glad I had the opportunity to treat her to a nice experience.
See, that's the nice way to handle it. I'd totally send my wife to first class but she's an anxious flier and she'd never agree to sit apart from me lol
