Nationally, we have all the unemployment, savings looted, banksters going free, politicians talking of austerity and conservatives sucking up to Ayn Rand while giving breaks to the 1% who they claim to be job creators, but no jobs have been created------here. Sure, cattle are dying in Texas (over a million in Northern Mexico)and California has lost 80 medical facilities in the last couple of years due to no revenues from patients, many too poor to pay.
Globally, it is a mess with the Arab Spring turned into multi seasonal event, Europe is about to collapses due to the selling of blank paper by the big banks. Just remembered the Road Warrior Days down in Mexico, 48,000 dead. Not surprisingly, oil has stayed over $100 a barrel
But around here, there are smaller things on the watch list and the above article in the local paper lays one out. It seems air travel is down. Must be the cost of fuel, thus the cost of the tickets. It has always been said that one of the luxuries that will lead the revolution will be the disappearance of air travel. It will be an early victim of peak oil. Eventually there will just not be enough of the black gold. It will be too expensive or if it is cheap, it will mean we are in a depression and then we will be in peak money.
The sad part is the same owners of this air port only a few years ago were demanding more public money to expand the facility.. Couldn't see it coming. Just don't want to. It is tough.
