    13 only? I’d like that option all the way to 18. 1) 14 year olds can be harassed or taken advantage of. 2) If I’m legally responsible for their behavior, I want to be nearby.

    Between this and the airbag thing, the USA just continues to blow my mind like, “Just when you couldn’t think they couldn’t be second-class citizens any more… BAM!!! Here’s some shit developed nations didn’t even consider could be a thing.”

    We’d send aid, but with that GDP, just assumed everyone super rich. You’re all super rich, right? Well looked after? Healthy? Educated?.. Aight I’ll stop.

    You’re all (mostly) actually really nice people and don’t deserve this shit. Excellent huggers too.

      Glad you qualified it with “mostly.” I hate this hell hole and can’t wait to leave.

          My girlfriend is Mexican. Her family have property all over the country. She’s also a Chilean resident. We’re considering Santiago. (Mexico is a mess most places.) I’ve also considered a few locations near the Spain/France border, but that would take more effort.

          I’m an independent consultant and can work anywhere.

            Ahhh, that’s a nice set up. Lucky! Really, I was asking because people love to say “fuck this country, I’m going to another!”, without really taking into consideration the figurative mountain you will have to climb to get there. That is to say, it’s extremely difficult to immigrate out of the US.

            Also, I’d love a job like that. I’d be more interested in WFH flat out, but being able to do “whatever you want” and not have that negatively impact work would be nice as well.

              Most Americans are so fucking brainwashed to think this the best country. Tell me you’ve never been overseas without saying you’ve never left the country.

              Every time I return, I go into a massive depression.

    airlines would be required to seat parents and kids 13 and younger together free of charge when adjacent seating is available at booking.

    They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.

      What happens when the only way to seat a family together is to break up another family. What if you need to separate a couple who is engaged and traveling together?

        separate a couple who is engaged and traveling together?

        we call those people adults and understand that they have less requirements than children.

          Fuck that noise. Plan ahead. I’ll repeat what someone else said. Parents shitty planning doesn’t become my problem. I pick the seat I want.

            Your sacred planning (as well as your convenience) isn’t worth more than their right to take care of their children. Sorry, you loose.

              LOL what a load of entitled BS.

              Again, taking care of your children means taking care of your children. Your failure to be a good parent is not the responsibility of the seat I paid to sit in.

              Ridiculous. Quit projecting your own shitty parenting on other responsible adults.

              You lose, by the way, not “loose”. Maybe you should take some of those grade school English classes with your kids.
