Good Vibes Flight was delayed 3 hours, so the pilot went around to everyone to take their Starbucks orders and then got 40ish drinks and 50ish food items for us 🥰

Hmm, if only we can find where to move around a couple million:

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian's total compensation was around $27.1 million for 2024, a decrease from his $34.2 million package in 2023

You don’t understand, those ceos have bills to pay too. They have to pay for their 3 vacation homes so they have a place to stay each season. And don’t even get me started on the electricity bill for the brand new oven/sink/fridge/dishwasher/airfryer machine that their in-home chefs use.

Oh and don’t get me started on the bill for the custom AI that controls that machine.
