you know what would be super great is if the people shrieking BWAHHHHH WHY IS THIS ON GIZMODO TAKE THIS NONSENSE BACK TO THE LADYBLOG maybe could... read the piece? and realise that passage of this legislation has serious implications for public health, thereby clearly falling under a tech-and-science-blog’s purview?

What is unique here - and Ivanka IS unique - is the incredible level of her over privilege. White privilege is real even if so many whites cannot see it or acknowledge it. But “garden variety” privilege is not the same as this level of constant safety net so no risk exists, ever - even the fucking lemonade stand had…

I’m certain she thinks “Empowerment” means Donald lets her ride on top.

I feel actual love for these folks! Let’s get busy, people. We have only ignorance to lose in the long run.

All I take from this comment is that if I ever have to share a flight with you I will absolutely storm the cockpit and fly that plane directly into the fucking ground.

“wacko.” What the fuck is wrong with you?

Not really. I was considering buying United stock on the dip, but then I figured they can fuck themselves. However enough other people recognized it’d blow over and United is one of a small oligopoly so they’re not going anywhere and the stock has come back up most of the way. The market isn’t going to fix this issue.

For the machine, yes, but not for the services performed with that machine.

Right.

So substitute “Allegiant”. The thought is exactly the same. They haven’t crashed either but that doesn’t mean I’d ever set foot in one of their planes...

He wants an exact quote with subtly different wording so he can say “HA! YOU GOT IT WRONG!” Ignore the troll.

People not buying a corporation’s stock doesn’t harm them. Legal sanctions harm them.

Er, no. It shouldn’t take a bloodied passenger for an airline “to correct itself.” We’re supposed to live in a civilized society, instead, we live in a country where money takes priority over human decency and safety. It shouldn’t have to get as far as things got, either in this scenario or on United Airlines, THAT’S…

Especially given that people nowadays are so afraid to step into potentially inconvenient situations.

By stepping in and addressing the flight staff that way, he could have been removed from the flight as well. Him stepping in shows it wasn’t her overreacting, or some minor thing being blown out of proportion. It was…

The one encouraging thing here is the fact that other passengers stood up to actively defend this woman and her child. Perhaps the most distressing thing about the United incident is that no one came to that guy’s aid. I know it’s probably a losing battle, with the possibility of arrest (or worse), but the line must…

I’m inclined to trust in the passenger who stepped in. He did so knowing full well what confronting an airline employee can lead to (really, who doesn’t these days) and apparently saw something infuriating enough to hazard it anyway. I like to think I would do the same.

Thanks detective, for your totally useless assumptions. Good work.

I wonder what the comment on their customer file is.

... Please stand by.

I want to hear the blame deflection on this one. I expect at least two flip flops of statements and a shitty non-apology.
