When the last 800 is parked in the desert the crew will fly home in a 737.

Well, as long as they are spending money, their wealth is trickling down to the peasants. Someone gets paid to service the world's only flying whirlpool tub!

Yes, here in the US we have socialist entitlements that have rid us of all squalor and poverty.

I don't mean this to turn into a socio-political rant but, unlike the middle east countries, at least here in the US, people have the opportunity to get out of the "squalor and poverty". Some, obviously, will never make it. But they have the chance. From what Mrs, Mudge has seen in her 4th grade class, the gene pool needs chlorine. :shock:

Mudge the opportunistic :D

ps. Laugh all you want but, it's our money paying for that vulgar display of wealth. :evil:
