It is funny that the ruling class doesn't actually understand that they are the only ones that can afford to fly regularly in the US anymore and are having a moment of "this is terrible for everyone!" when the rest of the country is so badly off, to the average person who does real work it doesn't matter if the US airline system shuts down completely.
The news media will have to wildly distort the narrative because the biting class commentary is too destabilizing and obvious. People will begin to wonder what are the people who own our labor actually adding to the economy by flying around constantly? If the business trips are so essential how can the US airline system begin to utterly fall apart and those businesses continue to function?
Can the ruling class afford people beginning to ask those questions?
