Not really. As noted in the article, Thomas Cook merged with MyTravel Group in 2007, which almost collapsed in 2011 and left them with a lot of debt. Brexit came years later. Possible causes would be long term trends in the types of holiday

Olive oil is healthy, good to cook with, and not too strongly flavoured. Depending on where you are, it's also generally fairly cheap. As a general purpose cooking oil, it's a solid choice, and EVOO is not a particularly good r

Sure, there's a solid argument that red flag laws have a 1) a lot more due process than no fly lists and 2) enough due process to make them constitutional. As I said, I don't know the details of the different red flag laws, and h
