But how have they been surviving if the husband has not been paid since 2016?

I beg this is economy seat not business class.
I fly the Business class like once every month...I have practically sat on all the business class seats from ATL to Lagos and back in the the past 5 years of flying back and forth.

No, that is Economy Comfort , much more roomier than economy, wider headrest plus free amenities.
Employees get whatever seat is available AFTER paying passengers who show up are seated. If none, wait for the next flight or take a flight connecting to another city

ImDStar:
I observed road construction still ongoing.

Not sure which picture. But those are not untarred roads in the picture, just snow covered roads, makes it look untarred!

But roads are maintained every year and re constructed about every 3 to 5 years. The drastic change in temperature in that part of the USA means it can be 23 Degrees in the morning on Tuesday and 0 Degrees Celcius the next day. This makes the roads contract and expand leading to potholes during late winter and cracks; so as soon as Winter is over all the way to the beginning of the next winter (like now) construction is ongoing.

Ha no. The world is ours, its yours!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

People used to start putting up their decorations some days before Christmas; then it was on December 1st, then after the Thanksgiving holidays which is the last Thursday in November. This year, people were putting up decorations after Halloween which is October 31st!

Its Christmas Day!

Many of the decorations are deeply scriptural, others are secular or less biblical.

More pictures. All that snow you see in the pictures fell in just one day, almost 1 meter; the lawns had grass yesterday (although dead grass, since its winter). People spent lots of time and hard work clearing out their driveways either with shovels or mechanical snow blowers.

Beautiful thread, thanks for sharing

Thankyou.

The snow brings out a lot of the beauty of the decorations; although in most parts of the south it does not snow much and in a few parts like tropical Florida, it does not snow at all.
Merry Christmas is becoming a very political word in the last few years. Some, moving away from Christianity or non Christians dont like hearing it. To them December is also the time for Hanukka ( Jewish holiday), Kwanzaa ( Black holiday) and other holidays-so they want Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas for all the whole of December.
To core Christians and those on the political right; its another attack on Christianity, western values and America!!!

Many leave their lights on all night, some have timers that put them off after a few hours to save electricity costs.

Some have giant Santas ( Father Christmas).
The entirety of some streets is lit up; some streets just a few houses.

More pictures.

Most do the decorations themselves; others hire professionals especially when it involves the roof..

For some its a religious experience, others just the Holidays.

More pictures.

Some use what they have or something simple, for some its all out.

Some houses owners have really dramatic decorations complete with a FM radio broadcast with their own selected Christmas songs. People come from far and near to view them.

Christmas time is a showcase of great decorations in America, even a competition for some with neighbors; like most things American. All in all, it is a fascinating sight to behold. It snowed heavily yesterday in this area and is making for a perfect white Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone from the land of Donald Trump and Joe Biden!

I guess you are lucky. I had work for Lufthansa airline. Flight benefits included too but the major problem is flight from O hare to Germany is always filled up. So I had to back off.

Also I applied to southwest airline but didn't see it tru due to they really dont fly intl like that.

Enjoy!

True. You were based in the US?

thesicilian:
Yeah, I guess I understand what you mean. What I meant to say was they didn't become billionaires by depending solely on their salaries and wages. Without strategic investments, it's almost impossible to attain a billionaire status.
By the way, being an employee of your own record label doesn't count

That is very true.

thesicilian:
None of them are employees...

Not exactly, Michael Jordan made his wealth by being an employee of the Chicago Bulls and Jay Z and Kanye were also employees of their recording labels. Messi and co are employees. Lots of people are employees and earn millions of dollars a month, which they then wisely invest in stocks, real estate etc.
You can be an employee and be rich-as long as you are wise, work hard AND SMART and understand the principle of time and place
