While I also feel it is weird, I strongly believe marrying kids (<18) should be illegally nationally with no exceptions. I have personally witnessed lives destroyed.

We usually fly AA on flights to Europe. We live near KC, so our choices are AA or United (IIRC). And we prefer AA’s time schedule. Outside of major cities there is little choice to many destinations.

Those taking first class are often traveling on a company’s dime or using credit card points.

I had never seen that.

Trickle down is a political term. Economists know that wealth trickles up. It is only moved back down with taxes. Non-economists have a saying for this, “the rich get richer”. Economists have a formula for this: r > g
