Oh, it is very likely that there's all sorts of things of that sort that he doesn't recall. And lots of others that he probably recalls but not with enough certainty to talk about …

presumably because they want also to stop other EU countries' airlines from running the flights as well.

Do you have any evidence this is fake?

because on HN, you are required to be a democrat and support all democrat causes.

for sure. It'll be really interesting tomorrow to see how much tech and media end up suppressing this story too. Presumably, just like with the story this is all about, they'll jus…
