  But look at how many people named after airports became president. It's like a shortcut to success.

  I share a name with a local airport. It’s pretty embarrassing.

    That’s nothing to be embarrassed about, La Guardia.

    • pascal@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Which is probably the worst airport in New York. But I’m always fascinated by the name.

      For who doesn’t know, it can be translated as “the guardian” or “the guarding”.

    I’m sorry to hear that Salt Lake City International Airport. Who calls their kid that? It’s just cruel.
