I imagine for a lot of people this would be the first and only exposure they've had to any kind of mental health care. Lots of people everywhere and in general need some help. When everyday life can be overwhelming, you better bet that an intense experience like a crowded concert can be even moreso.

Elon Musk tried to derail it with his Boring Company Hyper Loop scheme. He admitted creating Boring Company just to stop High Speed Rail.

Yeah but a trip to the airport is literally half your day at least. Getting dropped off, TSA, waiting for an hour just for boarding and takeoff, baggage claim, etc. -- There's so much overhead in plane rides for short trips.
A bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka runs you $100 each way without any of that. Even the cheap seats are spacious, along with awesome food to boot.
Train rides can be so much more than the sad "afterthought" we've made them in America.

Seems very similar to the bullshit high speed rail being built here in the UK actually

TIL that ~10% is 3-6x.
Wait, it's not.

>Since they’re smaller (which means less flight), they don’t always have same day flight availability
The smaller airports fly to fewer destinations. They have enough seats for everyone who wants one to go to the bay area.
Southwest runs 13 flights from LAX to SFO, versus 10 from ONT. Plenty of seats for whomever wants one
>And they tend to be more expensive than LAX
$308 from LAX versus $348 from ONT. Factor in the pain in the ass of LAX and it's a wash, unless your time is worthless to you.

"Quiet zone" I completely understand. I've been to concerts with high drug use around. A "mental health safe space" for a concert while showing a picture of a dude wearing rabbit ears, lmao. It's ridiculous to me.

You realize you can fly on a literal jet airplane...in about an hour...from SD to SF for less than $300, right?

He talks a lot about mental health with his fans and does his best to empower them. There's a really good Yungblood interview by Louis Theroux on BBC iPlayer, worth watching. Here's a clip

Agreed. My buddy and I interviewed the lady whose org is one of the ones behind this (Charlotte Lockhart of 4 Day Week) study. She was absolutely fantastic to talk about this with. It was clear she and her partner are serious about this program, and the passion drips from them. Quite lovely people.

Lmao at you thinking this is anything new. "Quiet zone" tents are standard at most concerts where the demographic is mostly people who like to get super high. If someone's having a bad trip, having a quiet zone makes the difference between them being able to come down safely, vs having to go to the fucking hospital.
Wanna explain to me what's so funny about that?

God forbid someone try to push their limits a little bit and then realize they messed up.
Having a designated quiet zone might make the difference between someone being able to take a break and then get back out there, and having to leave entirely (at which point they'll probably never give a concert a try again because of the awful experience)
