I will be surprised if it gets him. For all the blowhard that he is, there is a massive state machinery (that yes, he disses too) protecting him. Testing every person that gets close to him. That’s what all the fools who look after and/or emulate him don’t get. He’ll make sure he is fine, in a...

Historically the market has not been able to support more than 2 flights to NYC per day. In 2011 or 2012 United switched their 2nd daily BUE flight from Washington to Newark. This lasted for a year or two, only once United withdrew from this market then Aerolineas Argentinas entered. In 2016...

As to what is happening in Canada, I can report firsthand. I am currently in quarantine on account of having traveled to the US. You are not allowed into the country unless you demonstrate you have a quarantine plan (an address where you will reside, and means for getting necessities...

Canada requires 14 days of self-isolation, you are not allowed to leave home for any reason except to seek medical attention. They make the rounds periodically to check on people, in an unmarked car to boot. If you’re not complying with the rules, penalties can go to $750K and/or 6 months.

No. It’s because “that’s what everyone else is doing”. Also known as: “the market has spoken”. In a market where liquidity is not guaranteed by the state (as in, banks have to take it), liquidity is defined by the market. I’m only interested in taking bills which I can offload easily to others...

This is not the flight I am talking about. I’m talking about chartering a (very) small plane. 1. If we’re talking about US citizens, and not in a hurry, you are correct. Essentially, what is happening here is that there is a group of people that are desperate, and looking for company. They...

You’re new here, that’s OK. Multiple people on this forum have worked with me. I’d like to think I’m a known quantity around here. PS Not happening today, gunning now for Monday-Tuesday.

I might have a few seats available on a flight tomorrow evening from EZE to SCL. There’s a connecting flight from there to Miami with LATAM. I expect the whole thing (including Miami) to cost about 3K USD. If you are willing to pay an absurd amount of money to get to Chile (and/or the US), get...

Latam has a flight to Santiago on Friday.

As I said before, I agree. You can make the argument that if you jaywalk, you are breaking the law, so may as well go work for John Gotti. Those of us, however, that cling to antiquated notions like not actually screwing people just because it’s possible, may balk at the comparison. As well...

I, for one, wholeheartedly support this idea. No reason to oppose the culture. I question only why draw the line there. Why not steal apples from the fruit store? The likelihood you will have charges pressed against you are very, very low. Most parks have older ladies out for a stroll...

What I neglected to mention is the reason I don’t think there’s much reason for concern: mainly, that your roaming is not really costing anyone money. Simple Mobile is part of Tracfone Wireless, which is in turn owned by America Móvil - owner of Claro.

Officially, yes. In practice, I have not heard of this happening much. And if they do, you’ll almost certainly get a warning first. You can then port the number out to another provider.

Simple Mobile. Needs to be activated in the US first. Then works perfectly in most of South America (roams on Claro network). When wifi is off, IP address is a US one. Bank of America now works with Google Voice. Finally.

I’d agree, but then again I didn’t envision it ever shutting down to begin with. We still don’t understand the situation enough to be able to plan responsibly.

I’m in NYC, and I can tell you that the calculus changes once a bunch of people you know is dead. UPDATE: Posted this much later than planned, see @Ries beat me to it.

You will likely not be allowed to board a flight to Brazil without proof of an onward flight departing soon after.

There are many people who carry this virus and but are asymptomatic. This means that while they exhibit no symptoms, they can easily infect others. Hence what I originally wrote: “you are endangering each and every person you come in contact with. Hard no.” This applies equally to young and old...

It seems (is this the case?) that you are discussing a situation in which only the elderly are ordered to stay home. Your argument would then be that such a person is not endangering the public more than anyone else. If this is what you mean, then sure, I might see your point - likely subject...
