hangin’ in South America the aspirational cars are a whole menagerie of electrics, many of which under brands i’ve never heard of. all the famous auto manufacturers that used to signify quality and luxury seem legacy.

(i usually find time in an airport especially stressful when i’m in a rush to make the plane!)
it does. but say the expected cost of missing a flight is $500, and shaving 30 mins of lead time means you miss one out of ten. You are then paying $100 per hour for whatever it is you do rather than leave a bit early. 1/
you have to make a lot of money, or be quite wealthy, for that to be a good deal in general. 2/
that’s not to say there aren’t specific cases where it’s a good deal. maybe you’re in a really productive (or seductive!) meeting. the extra half hour could be worth $50 even for someone of very modest means. 3/
well, that’s what one is publicly telegraphing by offering this advice. and even there it’s overstated, because time is not in fact fungible, the average increment of billable hours one achieves for departing 30 minutes later to the airport is far less than 0.5.
it’s self-promotion in the guise of a lifehack, a way of saying my time is very valuable, shaving a bit of lead time to the airport is worth the occasional hundreds of dollars in change fees.
