I think all-business-class carriers Beond and La Compagnie are splurge-worthy for people looking for a bougie but still affordable travel experience.

I've flown on the world's only 2 all-business-class airlines. It's like flying on a private jet but less expensive.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
