So down here a property owner is selling the land where there is currently a trailer park. That sucks but hey it's his property. People that left by today would get a check for 14k. Wait until March you get 7k & by June 3k.
The local news was interviewing a woman who had lived there 30 years & moving out today. She responded in Spanish. And as it always does, it pissed me off.
Seriously, how can you live in a country for at least 30 years & still unable to speak the English language?

American Airlines, Capt. Jeffrey Collins, emotionally addressed his passengers on his flight this morning.
“You may be fearful about flying, and that’s certainly understandable. But just please know that my first officer and my flight attendants and myself place your safety and the responsibility of carrying you to Miami to your families, your vacations, your meetings at the highest level.”
“I have no higher calling than carefully and professionally transporting you today.”
Great job Captain!

I could've done so much more!" And it's reminiscent of Liam Nieson at the end of Schindler's List. It's horrible but that's what it reminds me off. This is freaky that you brought this up. I just watched this movie again last weekend. He was devastated when that realization came to him after looking at all the faces he had saved. I was also touched when survivors or family of survivors put those little stones on his headstone in memory of his efforts. He certainly did party his ass off with those in command & speaking of asses he had his pick of any he wanted.
I don't think he could've saved more. I think thosecin command would've been like, "Alright, now you're pushing it." and just shipped them all off to Treblinka.

Literally everyone that woman talks to probably speaks spanish. The woman has lived in a trailer park for 30 years. There's probably been no situation that gave her cause to learn English. I know expats that have been living in Latin American countries for two decades who still have pretty trash spanish though at least they try.
Not everyone in China speaks Mandarin. Not everyone in Russia speaks Russian. N. ot everyone in India speaks HindiNot everyone in Pakistan speaks Urdu. That's just the case in countries with hundreds of millions of people.

I fly a lot. I wouldn't want that speech. Just go through your normal spiel. Blah, blah, blah, 37,000 feet, winds out of blah, blah, blah, etc.
Everyone's different though. Maybe it would put some people at ease.
