Wealthiest counties in the US by median household income:
Loudoun County, Virginia $178,707
Santa Clara County, California $159,674
San Mateo County, California $156,000
Falls Church, Virginia $154,734
Falls Church is not a county but an independent city in Virginia with county-level governance. In the U.S., some cities, like Falls Church, function as county equivalents for statistical and administrative purposes, separate from surrounding counties (in this case, Fairfax County). This explains why it appears in lists of "wealthiest counties" despite being a city.
Today’s Soviet America has been objectively worse than many sci-fi dystopian movies. Because cinema needs to entertain an audience — narratives require dramatic suspense, wish fulfillment, and a charismatic hero. Real life, in contrast, has no such requirement to elevate heroism above the sordid slums of the favela. Many aspects of modern American life resemble the opaque bureaucracy of a Kafka novel, but in this absurdist and hyperreal version of America, the tangled maze of circuitous, redundant, and arbitrary paperwork is a ritual humiliation staffed by obese black women who mock their own customers.
A recent Frontier Airlines incident, captured in a viral video, involved a
passenger being refused check-in and taunted by staff after being hit with a
$25 fee. The situation escalated, leading to the termination of the employees
involved.
A passenger, flying from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) to Boston,
arrived 50 minutes before his flight but hadn't checked in online.
He was informed that he would need to pay a $25 fee to check in at the counter
because he missed the airline's 60-minute check-in deadline.
The passenger was then allegedly refused service and taunted by Frontier Airlines
employees.
A viral video captured the heated exchange, showing the employees arguing with the
passenger and refusing to let him check in.
Frontier Airlines confirmed the individuals in question, who work for a third-party
contractor, were no longer associated with the airline account, according to ABC11 News.
The incident highlights potential issues with Frontier Airlines' check-in policies and
customer service training, as well as the agency's reliance on third-party
contractors.
This video shows the Frontier Airlines agents taunting a passenger...
