Possibly the worst time in the history of commercial jet-powered aviation to be launching an airline flying exclusively to the US. Good luck to them.
Global Airlines is now selling tickets for its inaugural transatlantic flight – one month today from Glasgow to New York JFK. It's a charter. You must fly out 15 May and return 19 May. “Global Traveller” (economy class) £778. Business £3,700. First £7,127.

Why would anyone want to be like a character on The White Lotus.
There’s “White Lotus”-branded luggage and wallpaper, resortwear and accessories, skincare and liquor, all available for viewers looking to live like the HBO show’s wealthy (but ill-fated) protagonists.

Luxury brands spend millions to try and prevent the sale of fake luxury goods, and police often raid stores in London to try and stop them. Dark Luxury can reveal how much of this activity appears to be missing the mark.

My law teacher at school who had a disability was only able to teach us because she had a customised car that enabled her to get to our lessons. I presume it was government funded. Why do so many people assume bad faith on the part of welfare recipients?.
Make all the free cars the government gives out to people with autism or ADHD look like this and see how many people *really* need to claim them.
