Uh, yes, HIV is a mutant of SIV which came from primates in tropical Africa. It's been in Africa longer than anywhere else, and it spread mostly along the tropical latitude into southeast Asia.
AIDS and other diseases (related to climate) have also been brutal
Your last answer did not answer why or how AIDS is "related to climate". I am extremely interested as I have never heard this before. Please drop bong and give direct answer 😉

[b]As my wife pointed out to me when this story broke, when SouthWest first started up as a airline, the flight attendants wore racy, revealing outfits.
Stewardess in tight - tight - tight HOT PANTS! A 70's creation that left NOTHING to imagination. 🙄
They also called themselves "The SEXY Airline" in those ads!

This article admits itself that the notion is conjectural, but research is going into it nonetheless.

Originally posted by MacSwainHIV came from the tropics. It's worst epidemic (70% of all cases in Africa alone) is in the tropics. How can you guys keep saying there's no relation? I am really confused.

In the tropics, you get maximized water and sunlight. This leads to maximized biomass which leads to maximized pathogen diversity. Included in this biomass are humanity's closest relatives, the apes.
This leads to AIDS, malaria, yellow fever and all the other tropical diseases. Smallpox is very similar to monkeypox which comes from southeast Asia.
A warm, wet environment would tend to preserve pathogens which live in body fluids even after they are outside of the body.

[b]US is in a temperate climate, Africa is tropical. In 1776 there were far fewer people in North America than are in Africa today. AIDS and other diseases (related to climate) have also been brutal on the Africans.

In addition, the dynamics of slavery in Africa are far different than they were in the US. Slavery of Africans by Americans is a different phenomenon than slavery of Africans by Africans.
Slavery in temperate climate=bad. Slavery in tropical climate=good.
Slavery in low population=bad. Slavery in high population=good.
Slavery of Africans in America=bad. Slavery of Africans in Africa=good.
One word...UNBELIEVABLE!!

Three cheers for you Wajoma!!!
Capitalism always works when it's not fiddled with. If the airline looses customers, they may start issuing bikiini's to female patrons. If patronage increases they may require neck to ankle garments. 😏
Many I have spoken to reason the cause for backlash against the airline is this is seen as pre-emptive action to a ...[text shortened]... that opinion yet, but can see logic in this as a possible motive for this unusual action. 😕
How come no nation on Earth is completely capitalist? You'd think anyone who tried would take over the world by your post. Even the US fiddles with the economy.
