    This guy is right. This cost real time and money for… tens of thousands? Hundreds Of thousands? Of normal people. Oligarchs line went down a little. They lost pocket change, when others saved weeks or months to afford their trip that they probably cant take again because they have real jobs and cant do whatever they want whenever they want

      People in airports have at least some money. Many of them are flying for business. Poor people can’t afford to fly. I’m never concerned about people with money getting inconvenienced. I’m HAPPY when people with money are inconvenienced. It reminds them that they have to deal with the same shit as the rest of us, and they really hate that, which makes me happy. Schadenfreude is my hobby.

        Sure, just remember there is some middle ground between you and the pieces of shit at the top. Just because someone can afford to fly to a funeral, like my teacher coworker, does not make them well off

          Words you don’t hear often, I miss Spirit airlines lol. I flew to go see my family a couple years ago and paid like $42 each way. Only go for 3 days because that’s as long as we can stand each other anyways, so bring a backpack and there was no baggage fees.

          That price is equivalent to the price drop in my electric bill from September to October this year. ~80 because September was so hot.
