We shouldn't forget about the Zika virus epidemic taking place there. It's got a lot of American's flustered who travel between the regions. So I can imagine it makes an economic problem that much greater.

Jump to postSpeaking as a born and raised Texan and religious and mostly conservative in value, I really do find Abbott's position on this puzzling.

Jump to postBoeing did own an airline, it was United Airlines. Back in the 20's Boeing had it's own air mail service operation and bought several routes including the United predecessor. They were forced to split up the operations due to the Air Mail act of 1934.

Jump to postThis whole thing is ridiculous. She is 60+ years old, having grown up in Georgia, for her to say no to using that word under oath would be a lie.
