RE: https://c.im/@cdarwin/117475121983596273 From a purely pragmatic perspective, it makes business sense for Kirby to make this statement. Flying and vacations are among the most costly of discretionary spending, and as the wealth gap increases Kirby's customer base is literally drying up. Even setting aside increasing margins from First Class and Business Class travel, airlines still need Economy Class to make a profit. As there are fewer and fewer people who can barely afford to fly because Billionaires have hoovered up all the money for themselves, companies like Kirby's United Airlines are vulnerable to collapse. The United States is literally at a tipping point of collapse if this needs to be stated out loud. #USPol #USPoli #USPolitics
