Yes I know what a "muffler" does, it was a metaphor for the fact that as a country, we navel gaze and spend copious amounts of $$$$$$ to relatively little effect whereas a fraction of that money spent in places where real pollution daily is spilling into the environment would have much more effect on the wellbeing of the planet.

But yes, continue your condescending tone and spend some more money building a train from Fresno to Modesto, that's surely to make a dent on global pollution. Someday you'll leave your own county and see that the globe is filled with a plethora of cultures and peoples who live day to day and conserving the environment is not on their top 10 list. It's one planet, we all breath the same air, use the same oceans etc.

BTW, This was in response to JB pilot who asserts that AMS flight restrictions were the grand plan of AF/KLM/DL to keep JB from operating two flights there and are not the work of enviromentalists who'd love to see the whole industry significantly shrink and charge double. Hence the argument in Europe that this will "limit competition and raise prices" is not a bug of their program, but a feature of the program that the very same people who are pushing for it will enjoy.

 

I don't think you understand what a metaphor is. Thanksgiving with you sounds fun!

 

TBH... you sound like a condescending ass. Enjoy yourself!

 

It's funny you keep talking about "JBs two flights" even though I keep correcting you that it was TWENTY THREE airlines to be evicted from AMS, and all of KLM/DL's partners COMPETITION who would have to reduce their schedules who don't have KLMs RJ flights to sacrifice.

But keep pretending this is all about JB.

And by your posts I don't see how you know what a muffler or a metaphor are. But you have figured out toolbag pretty well.

 

Now that's a metaphor! You're getting it!!! Hugs.

 

Er....that was a simile....

 

Hey, let's try to keep it simple for the poor bastard, he's clearly not well.

 

​​​​​​That's the closest thing I've seen here to Sideshow Bob stepping on the rake.

 

A simile is a type of metaphor, meaning all similes are metaphors. Must we get into the nuances of using the comparative "like?" Really ruining the punchline guys...
