The politicians are responsible, and I follow the maxim, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

Definitely a crap shoot internationally. Domestically what are we up to = 43% of previous year standings on the TSA tracker or thereabouts. I will go with Japan’s (JAL) 3 year estimate for international travel to be consistently at a sustainable/profitable level since the onset in early 2020. Not a “roaring” comeback but decent plateau in the 75% plus range perhaps, maybe, hopefully... Totally spitballing like everyone else. I’ll take another look-see in the Far East next week.

That's right - they said on the TODAY show this morning that we would be wearing masks periodically for the rest of our lives. I would hope before we do something so asinine we have some actual evidence they do something, though - at least better than "mmmhh, can't hurt".

Why that’s - at best - chaff and flares to deceive the public rather than a scientific solution:

Works for TSA. Creates lots of government jobs. What's not to love?
