Politicians make decisions in favor of their interest groups or their supporters back in their hometowns.

I hate politics. What they say and what they do is completely different.

People shouldn't have to spend a lot of money to get high-quality clothing.

Skyjackers had a pretty abysmal success rate - once you commandeered a plane in American airspace, your odds of a happy ending were slim. After the epidemic ended in 1973, what folks tended to remember most about the skyjackers was their futility.
