What completely asinine thing to even consider. It’s as if this arse clown is trying to tank our economy.

I don’t feel like linking shitty news websites, but transportation secretary Buttigieg said Sunday there are active discussions to implement a testing requirement for domestic travel. Which at this point is just flat out stupid.

Someone clearly isn't making enough money in testing yet. This will kill the air industry if it goes through

Stupid seeing as how 10% of the country already had it and the vaccine is being distributed.

Once everyone had their chance, there's no reason to test. If you aren't vaccinated and get on a plane it's at your own risk.

Why would you waste tests on those that don't need them

So only air travel or will there now be checkpoints at every state line?

Are they talking about air travel or all travel? I wish you’d link the article so I can read it.

This could be great to get more cars on the road.

It’s profit both ways for them. Kill the airline industry and put more vehicles on the road while implementing the new mileage tax that was floated a couple of weeks ago.

It wont kill them, they'll just chunk out another 2 trillion to bail them out cause money grows on trees.

Air travel. Sorry didn’t wanna link because I despise the news sites. But if you google “Covid test domestic air travel” there is a plethora of articles to choose from.

Wait till you find out how much of the bail out cash the airlines are sitting on instead of paying employees.

Officials consider negative COVID-19 test requirement on domestic flights

”But here’s the thing: The safer we can make air travel in terms of perception as well as reality, the more people are going to be ready to get back in the air.”


Whoa. This is next level shite. Not only are they admitting this is for public perception, but at the same time trying to convince us that it’s all in the name of getting more people in the air sooner.

That is an amazing spin. Let’s see how it plays.

We have a vaccine and cases are plummeting...

This is so unnecessary to do this at this point .

No need to apologize. I get your frustration. I’m there with you.

Sometimes TD has great information that I want to share with people. I can’t link a TD thread to my boss to inform him about company travel. But I can share a news article.

What about buses, trains, subways and cars? Are we going to shut it all down? This doesn't really solve a thing.
