Yes OR No And STATE Why

Yes Or No
And Why

A passenger was removed from a recent Delta Air Lines flight after defying a crew member's orders and using the bathroom while the jet awaited takeoff.
After United Airlines' truly horrendous few weeks of PR, Delta decided they want to get in on the fun, kicking a man off an April 18th Atlanta-to-Milwaukee flight for using the bathroom while the plane was taxiing to takeoff — and deboarding the entire plane in the process.

The man, Kima Hamilton, said that he simply couldn't wait to use the restroom, and when he returned to his seat, the flight attendants announced the plane would be returning to the gate to have him removed.

Passenger Krista Rosolino, who filmed the incident, wrote an open letter to Delta expressing her displeasure with the incident:

Not only did your staff truly harm and humiliate one person who was forced to pay hundreds of dollars for a new same-day flight, but you forced the rest of us passengers to endure a 2 hour saga of watching a man being targeted for having a bathroom emergency.

Australia and New Zealand stiffened their rhetoric against North Korea Sunday after the isolated state threatened Canberra with a nuclear strike, urging it to think twice before "blindly and zealously toeing the US line".

The move comes as US Vice President Mike Pence wraps up an Asia tour, which has included visits to South Korea, Japan and Australia partly to reassure allies amid fears that Pyongyang may be readying for a sixth nuclear test.

"If Australia persists in following the US' moves to isolate and stifle North Korea... this will be a suicidal act," a North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said after Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called the hermit state a "serious threat".

The spokesman, speaking to the North's official KCNA news agency, warned Bishop to "think twice about the consequences".

Australia's close ally New Zealand has since accused North Korea of having "evil intent".

Defence Minister Gerry Brownlee told Television New Zealand Sunday people knew little about Kim Jong-Un's regime but "you would assume that underneath him there is a very big machinery of people who have equally evil intent".

"It's North Korea that is sending the missiles into the Sea of Japan and making the various outrageous threats including the threats overnight to Australia," he added.

Australia's Bishop added on Sunday that the North Korean government "should invest in the welfare of its long-suffering citizens, rather than weapons of mass destruction".

The reclusive state has long been seeking to develop a long-range missile capable of hitting the US mainland with a nuclear warhead, and has so far staged five atomic tests, two of them last year.

Pence vowed Wednesday that the US would counter any attack with an "overwhelming and effective" response after a senior North Korean official pledged weekly missile tests and "all-out war" if the US took any action against it.

In Sydney, Pence maintained calls for Pyongyang's sole ally China to do more to rein in its neighbour.

Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull also urged China to use its leverage over the hermit state, describing the North Korean regime as "reckless and dangerous".

He added that Australia and the US were "absolutely united" in their determination to achieve a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.

Supercarrier Carl Vinson is due to start joint exercises with Japan's navy on Sunday, Tokyo's defence ministry said, with the drills expected to last several days and involve two Japanese warships.

U.S. President Donald Trump praised Chinese efforts to rein in "the menace of North Korea" on Thursday, after North Korean state media warned the United States of a "super-mighty preemptive strike."

Trump told a news conference "some very unusual moves have been made over the last two or three hours," and that he was confident Chinese President Xi Jinping would "try very hard" to pressure Beijing's ally and neighbor North Korea over its nuclear and missile programs.

While Trump gave no indication of what the moves might be, U.S. officials told Reuters that the United States was aware of a higher-than-usual level of activity by Chinese bombers, signaling a possible heightened state of readiness. The officials played down concerns and left open a range of possible reasons.

 The eviction of David Dao, a 69-year-old American doctor, from United Airlines Flight 3411 on Sunday night prompted a massive outpouring of indignation and criticism on social media in China after initial reports that he was Chinese.


More than 260,000 people weighed in with comments, the majority expressing disgust at what has been widely interpreted as an example of discrimination against Asians.

“Everybody should be equal. [America] shouts about equal rights but has done such dirty things,” wrote one Weibo user, under the name Yuan Tianweilaoshi.

Another called for Chinese travellers to shun United, which operates flights out of Chinese cities including Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Xi’an, because of Dao’s treatment. “Let’s boycott it together,” wrote Nasenmenghe.

Anger over the incident at O’Hare airport in Chicago, which helped wipe nearly $1bn (£800m) off the company’s value, spread to Vietnam on Wednesday after it was reported that Dao had been born in that country and had moved to the US in the 1970s.

“Watching this makes my blood boil, I’ll never fly United Airlines,” Anh Trang Khuya wrote on Facebook, Vietnam’s most popular social media platform, according to Reuters.

[1. I would get my dream lake house or ocean view home]

1. I would get my dream lake house or ocean view home

I’ve grown up living on water and love being able to go out in the boat or jet ski. I would find a home with an amazing view of the ocean or lake/mountains and access to the water to import my boat for cruises and entertainment. I would want a cabin style home with the logs and wood work and big windows facing the water to look out. Kitchen would be wood flooring, granite counters, and tiled backsplash, along with stainless steel appliances or custom appliances to fit the design of the home.

Price Range: $750,000 or less

I would keep it modest and around 2,000 square feet or less. Million dollar homes have high maintenance costs and you get nailed by property taxes. If you don’t have a big family, huge homes just don’t seem necessary and have a lot of excess waste in terms of space and maintenance costs.

I would also sell my current home or possibly turn it into a rental so that I can recoup some income that can be applied towards my cabin water front home to keep more of my $10 million in my pocket still.

2. I would purchase a nice SUV or Truck

My dream car is an Italia 458 and I may splurge some money to lease one for a short period of time but then I’d settle down with a nice truck or SUV that can be used for my real estate business as transportation to and from properties as well as carrying my tools & supplies.

3. Help out family and friends

I mentioned above that I’d keep my money a secret. I feel like if everyone found out you had $10 million dollars they would start getting entitled and feel like it’s expected that you help them. I would ask friends and family their situations and do some investigating to see who needs financial assistance and then I would take care of that person paying off their problems for them. It would feel good knowing you did it because you wanted to and not because they expected you to having so much money.

4. Setup a perpetual giving fund

I once took a finance class at Ohio State and remember an example problem about a wealthy man who wanted to set up a scholarship fund for students. He invested money into an investment fund that would produce interest income. Then the interest income would be paid out as scholarships to students each year while the initial investment stayed in the account to continue generating more interest every year forever. This is called a perpetuity.

I would set up a growing perpetuity fund so that over time more and more money can be distributed to the charities and causes I’m passionate about. A growing perpetuity will also stay ahead of inflation as a $10,000 scholarship today won’t be the same as $10,000 many years from now, especially the way college tuition is escalating, ruining people’s financial futures and setting them back from retirement.

5. Invest money into Under30wealth.com

I could create some really awesome resources and products for everyone to utilize to improve their financial literacy. I hire someone to build an app or hire software developers to create other things I’ve thought about that are in the works someday. I could spend more on marketing so that more people become aware of my site which would help more people learn. I would have money to do fun giveaways and contests with my audience. Much love and thanks to everyone supporting this site!

But in the mean-time, I appreciate organic free growth such as when you guys share my posts to your social media so that we get in front of more viewers and young people who need to learn money and financial management! College never teaches a class about how to make money and the education system has few classes implemented that cover money management.

6. I’d consider paying off some of my rental properties debt

The only debt I’d likely have would be real estate related. I would pay down this debt so that my rental properties cash flow more and I save the loan interest expense. One of the days I look forward to is owning $1 million in real estate outright with no debt. Having a portfolio of rental properties that are all paid off and positively producing cash flow is a dream come true. Your only expenses are insurance and taxes as well as occasional maintenance repairs. You no longer have to worry about foreclosure or burning through money if the property sits vacant.

7. I’d have some fun

I’m huge on traveling someday. I would pack up and go across the country and around the world seeing the many different exciting places on earth. I’d try the foods in different countries, see the exotic beaches, and spend money on the vacation activities offered at each destination. Life is about living and having fun.

I would also purchase tickets to major sporting events and fly out to see them. I want to one day attend the championship game for each sport like the NFL, NBA, MLB, College Football and Basketball. I’m a huge golf guy and I teach golf online to people at GolfPracticeGuides.com so I would definitely go to all 4 majors. The Masters would be my favorite course to see (If anyone has a spare ticket, haha jk).

How would you spend $10 million? You never know, maybe you’re one of the fortunate people to be handed down an inheritance. It could be worth thinking and brainstorming out how you’d manage that much money so you don’t end up broke and in debt like so many of the lottery winners we hear about!

[If So Then Why?]

If So Then Why?

A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. Common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms such as greetings. There are about 150 new traditions made each year. Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years—the word "tradition" itself derives from the Latin tradere or traderer literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping. While it is commonly assumed that traditions have ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether that be political or cultural, over short periods of time. Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways.
