Jerry: Well I should tell you that I'm Jewish.
Father: That's no sin.
Jerry: Oh good. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism just for the jokes.
Father: And this offends you as a Jewish person.
Jerry: No, it offends me as a comedian. And it'll interest you that he's also telling Catholic jokes.

Or if it ended up being 3/8 full, that we hoped that the third person was cool and wanted to talk to us.The third guy was a
(we saw him carrying on in the lounge) so that was that. Service was Lufty efficient. On our LX flight from ZRH - DXB we were the only two in F and had spectacular service from a team of 4.
And then on EK we were 2 of 4 (the other two were continuing on to Colombo) in J. The EK staff rushed through the service (food was terrible), yelled at us for switching seats, and ate the fruit tray themselves without offering it to us - which would have been just about the only edible thing in the entire service.
It can be really hit or miss.

ETA: Further reading indicates that the Catholic city project contracted with Pulte Homes to do most of the private homes. Pulte got outed last year as a major user of illegal immigrant labor. I guess it's a miracle.

Sort of. The guy who owned Domino's bought a bunch of land in Central Florida and was moving pizza profits into the creation of a super-rigid private Catholic community. Plans for this have since faded from the spotlight, but he did manage to get an ABA-accredited law school and faith-based mutual funds opened.

I just don't understand why companies and elected officials feel the need to tell others how to live their life. This world would be better off if anyone was free to do whatever they wanted, as long as it didn't harm/impact others and everything was consensual.
There is no right or wrong way to live your life. Why folks can't accept that is beyond me.

When you start telling individuals and companies for that matter, how to be charitable and what constitutes fair, then you've done nothing but substitute one person's freedom for another person's.
And so end my time in OMNI/PR
