I think we’re the only country in the world without a “national” airline.

British Airways is publically owned. Margaret Thatcher in her infinite wisdom sold it off to private investors as she did coal, steel, national railways etc. She saved Britain.

I suspect she and Ronald Reagan share a drink in the evenings in heaven.

The high cost of the nanny state...most of the taxes support those who cannot and/or will not work. The DOLE is there for their use and pleasure.
