Yet again, Delta Air Lines posted massive quarterly losses — and the company is warning investors “it may be two years or more” for air travel demand to return to normal.

The third-quarter loss was larger than forecast by Wall Street analysts, and Delta

We’ve been married 42 years. I cook, clean and take care of our finances. He paid for a trip to Paris, then asked for the money back

By Quentin Fottrell, MarketWatch

‘He pretends to forget to pick up flowers. We have not been to a movie together for the longest time’

Dear Moneyist,

I have been married for 42 years. He is a nice man, with a good personality and great social skills.

I do housework and take care of other appointments as needed. I cook, do small home repairs and painting, etc., and take care of all our financial planning. I worked in a medical career. He was in IT at a prestigious university.

I am getting older. He has this idea that I have all of this money. I do not. I manage it. Everything is in both our names. I manage all our finances. His income is five times my income.

He has always been very passive-aggressive. If I ask him for help with tasks, he acts very put-upon and I end up angry.

Business Travel Demand Won’t Bounce Back In 2021, And Maybe Not For Years. That Will Be Devastating For Airlines.

Even if a vaccine for Covid-19 becomes widely available – and widely used – around the globe, and if the very onerous government restrictions on international travel largely disappear, airlines still will continue to struggle with extraordinarily weak demand for business travel through the end of 2021, and likely beyond.

And that could be devastating for already cash-depleted airlines that are guaranteed this year to report losses that, even for an industry with a long history of red ink, will be record-shattering.

Down 70% From Last Year, Business Travel Demand Won’t Bounce Back In 2021, And Maybe Not For Years

Even if a vaccine for Covid-19 becomes widely available – and widely used – around the globe, and if the current, very onerous government restrictions on international travel largely disappear, airlines still will continue to experience extraordinarily weak demand for business travel through end of 2021, and likely beyond.

And that could be devastating for an already cash-depleted and shrinking airline industry that is guaranteed this year to report losses that, even for a group with a long history making of huge losses, will be record-shattering.

San Antonio River Walk offering kayaking in famed business district for the first time in 30 years

The River Walk is paddling in new opportunities in 2020.

For the first time in 30 years, kayaking will be allowed through the River Walk’s scenic business district, where countless postcards and San Antonio snapshots have taken place.

Kayaking on other extensions of the San Antonio River, like the King William District and Mission Reach, has been a popular activity, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. You were, however, not allowed access to the world-famous business district, where the hotels and restaurants are located.

Offering resort-style living in a thriving location, Peet’s Lattitude Lakelands is for older Australians who want to spend their golden years both active and relaxed.

Nestled between two natural lakes and the sparkling Indian Ocean, Lattitude is a lifestyle resort for over-55s just north of Mandurah, about 60km from the Perth CBD.
