He might be dead, but he's still with us. You can feel him every time you get that really bad acid reflux and feel your body is eating itself from the inside out.

I remember it. The television networks did an entire week of 24/7 Ronald Reagan coverage. I complained to my friends that my television had become a Reagan box

People like him make me wish there was a hell so they can burn in it forever. He's one of if not the biggest reasons why the country is in the shitty state it's in.

Reagan wasn't as popular when he died as he became later, but you're probably correct that at any given time he was more popular than Trump. Reagan's image has really been "rehabilitated" as the Soviets would say.

Re-naming National Airport after Reagan rubs a lot of federal workers the wrong way to this day. Reagan fired 12,000 federal air traffic controllers and secretly paid the airlines to alter schedules to increase pressure on the controllers. Airports implemented gate holds as a result and waiting on tarmacs became a thing that is still with air travelers to this day.

Even though Reagan and the airlines got what they wanted in the 1981 strike, they took all the "glamour" and "comfort" out of air travel. It's been cutthroat ever since.

@Shablagoo
Well there were reforms after Reagan but pre-Reagan plane schedules were almost like public transit schedules. There was an 8, a 10 a noon, etc. Reagan got airlines to bunch flights together at the same time which overwhelmed the system. In stead of 8, 10 and noon, everything was at 8 (for example). Nowadays its a compromise between the two. Regular schedule with some flexibility for times that people would like to fly. It's why there are few afternoon flights these days and everything is bunched around a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening (red eyes).

During the strike, flights got so backed up they had to hold some planes at the gate and others had to wait on the tarmac. That was basically "parking" the planeload of passengers that wasn't necessary before and was "outside the law" in that there was no law against it per se but it wasn't something that anyone wanted to happen. An airport is like a refillable tube of toothpaste, it can only hold so much at one time. Over stuffing it with people and planes is dangerous. But it happened and never really went away. A 10 o'clock departure was a 10 o'clock departure. After Reagan and to this day, a 10 o'clock flight can leave as much as an hour after - limited by law now - and not counting for weather delays.

I thought it was longer, but I got him confused with Nixon.

But I remember Nixon's funeral on TV. It was kind of surreal.
