So - how do I know if the paid version is accurate if the free version is inaccurate? It shows me a sample of some place I don't know so it's impossible to evaluate. They should offer some other way to trial the full version.

Many of the things he just described are a rational response to historical circumstance. It's fine to say "we're in a bad place" but that's not the same as saying "we're currently making bad decisions&quot

As mentioned elsewhere I have generally worn a seatbelt on planes for several years. And I think other people should. And I religiously wear one in a car - just like any sane person. I'm really sorry not to be the strawman that people

I've never seen turbulence like this. And until fairly recently I didn't know it was really possible. So it's a bit like "why don't people wear a welding mask while cooking?" It was never even a risk that I had
