Got it. So, per usual, you only care about issues that affect you.  And, yet, you think I'm the hypocrite?

@we_gotta_believe sit down.

No, I think you're dumb. Well at least until the vaccine changes my DNA, then all bets are off because I might be right there with you.

Aren't you low risk and in the best physical shape of your life?

You should save that dose for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

 

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spirit-airlines-kicks-four-year-old-boy-with-autism-off-flight-for-not-wearing-mask/

An Arkansas woman says Spirit Airlines kicked her son and husband off a flight Monday because the 4-year-old who's nonverbal with autism, wasn't wearing a mask.

Callie Kimball told CBS Little Rock affiliate KTVH-TV that Carter Kimball "had a medical note from his physician stating that he's exempt from wearing masks because whenever he wears a mask he holds his breath or he starts freaking out which causes harm to himself."

Callie said her family flew on Spirit to visit family in Las Vegas Friday without a problem. But Spirit wouldn't them stay on the return flight, which had a stopover in Dallas, even though her husband showed the plane's crew members the note

She says they've always flown with Spirit and never had any issues until now.

"He has a disability. It's protected under the American Disability Act and they go, 'No no no. Autism's not a disability. He has to wear a mask or he has to get off the plane.'"

"Kids on the (autism) spectrum, they're usually very obsessed with something," Callie explained. "He is obsessed with airplanes. So he was sitting in his seat, quietly and looking out the window, and this lady was like, 'Get off!'" 

Callie said American Airlines agreed to accommodate the family and accept Carter's note, but the family wants a refund for the tickets for the flight they weren't allowed to take.

"So we're out all of our flights, a thousand bucks and we have a son who's just so distraught now that he like threw all of his airplanes down."

Spirit told KTVH it issued a refund but the hang-up appeared to be the time it takes credit card issuers to credit the funds.

Spirit also said, "Our existing policy does not provide for medical exemptions, regardless of diagnosis. Our team members explained this to a family traveling today, but never questioned anyone's medical status in the process.

"Starting March 19, 2021, guests with a medical disability who are traveling on or after March 22, 2021 can apply for an exemption as provided for in the federal mandate requiring masks in airports and on planes."

A spokesman for the airline told CBS News the only exemption to its current mask policy, implemented in May, is children younger than 2 years old.

"We remind guests of our face covering policy throughout the booking process, in a pre-trip email sent prior to departure, and in a required acknowledgement that is part of the check-in procedure," the spokesman said.

Callie said she understands that COVID is real and people need to take precautions to protect everyone, but her son has a disability that limits him from mask use.

Teary-eyed, she said, "I've never in my life — being the parent of an autistic kid is really hard and I've never in my life experienced that kind of discrimination from someone."

 

Yeah, keep "saving lives", guys.  So they could fly there with the note, but not fly home???  

Bet you feel so self-righteous. 

Spirit airlines. 'Nuff said.

 

I would NEVER EVER give them a nickel of my money.

Without going into my medical history, I am in a high risk category. 

Also, I'm rich.

So basically -- STFU.

Tough to argue here. Not good.

Makes sense. As my own situation has improved dramatically over the past few years I think more about it. I want to enjoy what I have earned for as long as possible.

I'm right there with you, but it's stupid when you really think about it.  Working your whole life to get somewhere only to focus on the end seems counterproductive.

It's not about focusing on the end. It's about prolonging the really good middle.

True.  But I don't think that's how Hemingway meant it.  Though to be fair, he blew his brains out so I'm not sure if he's a great source here.

His quote, like many, look open to interpretation to me. I think my answers are appropriate in the spirit of what he meant.

Oh, and if you think about it, it makes more sense than this really:
