Delta offers discount for NRA members
Delta goes rent seeking for exemptions on fuel
Some republicans were against it on principle of being against corporate welfare
then the shooting happened
Delta pulls out of NRA discount program
The Lt Gov of Georgia who isn't even relaly in the senate goes on a rampage, demanding they reinstate the discount or the fuel subsidies are gone
Some republicans are pretty happy with this because they didn't want to give them the subsidy anyway
budget passes without fuel subsidy, delta loses 50 million in tax breaks
comes out today: only 13 people have ever used the NRA discount on flights

My life has become a single, ongoing revelation that I haven’t been cynical enough.
