Why does flying suck so much, by Robert Reich

[macaroni21]

Robert Reich is a well known economist and public policy commentator

 

 

Here's my next question: Is the same phenomenon happening in the gogo bars of Thailand?
- prices going up for no added value;
- wealth flowing to the top (think: boys in brown);
- underpaid  labour....

What about massage parlours?

Entertaining video from one of Clinton's better cabinet selections. And he makes some solid points. One of the carriers he mentioned (Southwest) was recently fined $140 million by the government for its disastrous handling an episode a year ago. There's ample blame to go around.

Somehow I don't automatically extrapolate the scenario to gogo bars or massage shops in Thailand. Unlike air passengers who--for a variety of reasons--have a compelling need to fly, customers in entertainment venues do not. They can use the apps as many have suggested, or try to get lucky the old fashioned way: cruising the conventional bars or dance clubs, or looking for street trade (yes, it still exits).  Gogo bars and massage shops don't have a monopoly on sex akin to the airlines' grip on flying.
