You said "exposing inequalities" and I'm simply questioning what was exposed. What's with the wild assumptions and defensive comments? And I believe it's news because it shows how American's are being targeted, regardless of their wealth or mode of travel.

ok sure, how would you imagine a response that your setup wasn't defensive? whats being exposed is the non-news of a long private flight from colorado to sardinia, thats a really long and really awesome trip and yet it wouldn't have been news if it wasn't turned away. This is now the fourth time I've explained that. With you, I'm either reiterating what I already said and you not being satisfied, or I'm explaining how what you think I care about isn't what I care about but thats defensive to you and you're still not satisfied. This is probably not going anywhere bro.

  It's news because of why they were turned away. American's being targeted for being American is newsworthy, especially in context of a global virus that doesn't discriminate, a flight where the others were allowed with quarantine, and in Italy which is notorious for its own poor response to the pandemic. Nobody cares that rich people fly private, the same way a billion people without running water don't care that you have a car and internet. No inequality that's suddenly exposed unless you were clueless about the world. But you're right, this isn't going anywhere.

    a direct flight from Colorado across the Atlantic to a mediterranean island is interesting to me and other people have pointed out what kind of plane would likely be capable of doing that. you were not capable of understanding that or chose not to despite repeated clarifications. hard to tell which is worse

      You being interested in that flight while others aren't isn't an example of socioeconomic inequality, exposed or otherwise. And your responses are full of personal vitriol. Let's end it here.
