i faced a constant battle with that natural enemymy of all mayors. the pothole, the guy who literally couldn t some potholes in south bend, indiana is now the transportation secretary putting breastfeeds so its equity is unbelievable. pretty amusing. this is a guy who wouldn t know a car transmission from h a bridge abutment. what are the chances he can rune his own espresso machine? the mindset is the problem herep . and it s not just mayor pete. he s easy to mock becausese he s a ludicrous figure, but it s all the people like him who believe that our economy is based on social media apps d and h.r. departments. l people like that really believe that by sociall engineering you can make m the trains run on tii and you can create a robust economy because they re. forr example, last week mayor pete explained that the number
overall. so far we ve seen about 360 cancellationed today. one in every ten flights. the point is this is not over just yet and in a memo to southwest airlines employees the airline really describes a ripple effect of passengers and people in wrong positions and in some cases flight crews without hotel rooms this day and the bottom sideline that tens of thousands it of passengers were stranded by this waiting in the huge long lines that you have seen on hold in some cases for hours trying to get through to customer service, and they are not happy about this. there s no explanation for this problem, so i suspect that southwest isn t being totally honest with us. literally couldn t even sleep last night just because we didn t know what was going to happen. looking through and there s nothing, nothing, nothing like for the next few days. in a memo to employees, southwest describes that this was compounded by the fact that most of these problems were
