The next time you’re in an airport, notice the difference between the TSA security experience and the Delta SkyClub lounge. Both are billion dollar organizations. Both have employees, managers, and directors. One is reasonably friendly, clean, and depending on the airport,…

On this day in 1801, my main man Frédéric Bastiat was born. Happy Birthday dude.
