I think we would pay more to keep Delta afloat than to pay unemployment. Plus most of those people will get jobs with the airline that replaces Delta.

Working in the funeral industry do you know how many teens get buried a year cause they had "just a few underage drinks" and then drove?

When I was 18 that was the drinking age so I have mixed feelings about kids from 18 - 20 who drink. What I've tried to instill in my kids is you don't overdo it and you don't drink & drive. I find that a much more realistic approach. And based on reports from others, they have never gotten wasted and have never driven or gotten in a car with a driver who has had a drink.
