More mask fights breaking out on planes

(Chad Ridgley via AP) This is definitely past the point of “turning into a trend” and it’s reached full-blown epidemic levels now. The numbers that have been released by the FAA and the various airlines simply don’t have any other explanation. The number of arguments, shouting matches, and, yes, physical fights breaking out on airline flights these days has gone through the roof. And it’s not because of the tiny, uncomfortable seats or the crappy food (if you even get any food), though I’m sure those factors aren’t helping matters either. People are angry about the face mask mandates and unfortunately, there are a lot of them who are taking it out on the flight attendants. In one of the latest incidents, a member of the cabin crew on a Southwest Airlines flight had a couple of teeth knocked out in a dispute over the face mask rules.

Union slams University of Colorado spending, wages, and bond debt

Timothy Hurst, Boulder Daily Camera A University of Colorado labor union has questioned the university system’s priorities, pandemic cutbacks, and business model, and urges more spending on students and employees. Tracy Berger, a CU employee who helped write the report, said she wants the University of Colorado System to continue managing its finances while better caring for its employees and students. The union also has called on the system to be more transparent in budgeting, pay living wages, and pause debt-financed construction. Colorado runs its public colleges as enterprise funds, or government services that run similar to private businesses. But Berger stressed that the University of Colorado also has a mission to educate Coloradans. She said that the system prioritizes out-of-state students who make up 30% of full-time students and who pay higher tuition, and that it unnecessarily pads its investment portfolio.
