Airport’s rebranding a ‘capital’ idea
I think it’s a “capital” idea to rebrand the airport as the “world’s most traveled” and stop using the “world’s busiest.” I’m sure the passengers who are jammed together in the underground trains, or can’t find a parking spot, or maybe even the ones who will miss their flights due to having to wait in extremely long security lines, will feel much better with the new marketing idea.
Maybe we can allow a new airport to be built on the opposite side of I-285 but not allow any flights to come or go and we’ll have the “world’s least traveled” airport also.

Columnists keep pushing agenda for wealthy
The conservative columnists in the AJC lately have been doing their job, as usual, of spreading lies. Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands are Socialist countries. But unlike North Korea, the former Soviet Union and Cuba, the state does not own all businesses. They just have rules and regulations that protect consumers, workers (a living wage, job place safety), affordable health care, banking and investment regulations that are enforced, environmental regulations, affordable higher education, and taxes on the rich and corporations and no corporate welfare. Unlike America, where mega-corporations and the top 1 percent or 2 percent get 70 to 75 percent of the money. The late Antonin Scalia — like other conservatives on and off the U.S. Supreme Court — believe that free speech includes the right of the wealthiest Americans and mega-corporations to buy the elections, which they have been doing for 36 years. America is now, with few exceptions, a two-party oligarchy — a Banana Republic, if you will. If you don’t believe it, I have tropical beachfront property in Nome, Alaska, to sell you.
