I’m skeptical of most claims of overtourism. In some sense, the great historic attractions of civilization belong to everyone. There’s usually an ugly nativism to the claims. And locals often want tourist dollars – and only wealthier tourists – while providing as little as possible in return.
Occasionally, though, a tourist behaves so badly that it’s difficult to make this case.

For Parker and American, this was the heist of a lifetime. He spent all his time in D.C. lobbying and Nelson played a key role. Without Nelson’s cover with the narrative about workers, and bringing along Democratic leadership, it would never have worked.

Southwest Airlines has a lot of aircraft on order from Boeing. But they said some very strange things on their earnings call. They’re bringing on planes, but aren’t going to grow their flying at a rate faster than GDP.
In fact, they say growth in their flying is expected to come from taking their current planes and keeping them in the air more – redeyes, and faster turn times on the ground – not from Boeing deliveries. That has to mean they’ll be cancelling or deferring deliveries. They just haven’t announced it yet.

It was something so bad that “with this kind of being a biohazard, I think we need to get this plane on the ground ASAP” according to a doctor on board. “The crew is vomiting and passengers all around are asking for masks…I talked to the crew and it sounds like it’s quite bad back there.”
