Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The people that can afford good flights, i.e. the middle and upper class, have an advantage in being able to go where they want to when they want to. This is a stark contrast to those who can afford to go on a vacation once a year or every two years and have to deal with the hyperinflation in over-marketed areas with excessive tourism. On top of that the comfortability each airline offers is unfair to the other low tier airlines because it gives everyone a different experience when they cant afford to live in that luxury. Not only does this discourage tourism by the middle class, but it discourages islands as places to live and build lives at. Through this, small businesses see a decline in growth and availability and make the market more industrialized.
