At least in the US my understanding is insurers don't generally support BiPAP because it's more expensive. Surgery costs more, has extended recovery time, is more risky, and is less effective at the broader population level; if it

I think they are agreeing with you re: the range. There is money in NYC-LHR (it brings BA alone $1B in revenue annually) but the market for supersonic basically vanished. In the 70s when Concorde started flying, it was certainly a step up.

I mean the current administration makes no effort to hide that it likes the idea of illiberal government. Historically parties have never fallen in line behind their president like this, and it’s odd that the House and Senate have essential

the real reason midtown is where it is, is because that is where the train stations are due to the city banning surface running railways south of 42nd St. (The remaining surface railways north of that point have been covered up.) As a resul
