  • Which, given the context that planes are necessary, you continue to ignore the OP:

    Having the public lose trust in the safety of flying is absolutely not something you want to happen.

    And then your justification for not privatizing is cronyism. So the government contracts for air travel = bad, but the ones for your project are… good??

    Your comment was really just a soap box to say air=bad, trains=good. I’m not going to argue trains are bad, but maybe make an honest argument for it.

    Yeah, but if you aren’t being sold subscription services, then there’s no stream of recurring revenue, and if that happens quarterly earnings won’t show a graph going up. Which means shareholders can’t go afford their backup vacation house and CEOs yachts will be a few inches shorter. Honestly, think of the yachts next time.







  • You say everyone hates then but honestly it’s really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that’s part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can’t even imagine a world where they aren’t constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.

    Personally I’m vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don’t see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.
