Skiplagging

• (00:01:58) Hidden Cities, Throwaway Ticketing, Skiplagging… are any of these words or phrases part of your traveling strategies? If so American Airlines has had ENOUGH

1. TEXTS FROM THIS EPISODE:
   
   
   1. (00:11:29) Ok so did airlines hire a Chief Pettiness Officer for these policies or what? Probably making 3 billion a year…
   2. (00:20:30) Y'all got any tasty Scott Baio bops?!
   3. (00:20:36) Morning fam! Missed ya last week. Rew-Doh!
   4. (00:24:22) In the air ducts w a BADGER!!!
   5. (00:24:29) Winston does to little or too MUCH!!
   6. (00:26:36) Straight BUGGIN'!!
   7. (00:40:52) Another round of condescension and gaslighting from City Council. Not surprised, but definitely offended.
   8. (00:41:04) No! Rene was never the one.
   9. (00:41:12) Find me the people who voted for him in the first place bc honestly... I don't want to understand but I need to understand. Why.
   10. (00:41:30) Life is like a hurr a cane Here In X RAY!
   11. (00:41:47) Listen, Fiance. We've been engaged for quite some time. about this question!! I gotta make sure you're on the air today.
   12. (00:41:58) This whole process was a scam.. Meaning they tried this in the past here in portland to reorganize our commissioner our mayoral ship. The idea of controlling twelve people scare the fuck out of the four that are doing the work now. And of course, Renee wants to see about the police accountability committee. Cause that b****** used to be a cop who knew that?
   13. (00:42:53) That's right zero accountability they don't even know what the fuck accountability means Nor do they know what violence means Sincerely portland
   14. (00:55:33) This shity ass city is Absolutely despicable. Locate hikey sounds like a concentration camp to me.
   15. (00:56:17) 'm sure there are people who find the pod idea safer than their current sleeping situations. However $5M for what?? A bunch of bureaucrats to decide who gets help and who does not? How many people could just get housing for that
   16. (00:59:30) The people who have the least have to give up the most so that the people who have the most don't have to give up anything.
   17. (00:59:45) I just been sitting here imagining Ambush going around cutting brake lines in a green man suit.
   18. (01:13:47) But if you treat people as humans and act like they have a right to have their basic needs met, how do we maintain an underclass to ensure that workers still willingly sign up to be underpaid for terrible working conditions??
