That's a ridiculous way to look at it.
- moultano 15y agoWhy? What common units would you convert it to?
- DaniFong 15y agoOut of genuine curiosity, why is it ridiculous? Stolen time is stolen time, no?
- artursapek 15y agoAll you do your entire life is what you're confined to doing on an iPad in an airplane? It's not that huge of a loss. You're not dead for half an hour on each flight.
- morsch 15y agoNo, but I sometimes wish I was dead for just that half an hour.
- DaniFong 15y agoHaha, you make a good point. Nonetheless, flying could be an amazing experience. But fliers are some of the least happy people because they are treated either like criminas, children, or cattle. If the time isn't quite stolen, it is at least spoiled.
- artursapek 15y agoAll I can say is to watch Louis CK's rant about how everything is amazing and nobody's happy. I fly several times a year and I honestly enjoy it. People who complain about their flying experience need thicker skin and more problems in their lives.
- lancewiggs 15y agoThe economic term is deadweight loss. Not so ridiculous, as that is product capacity lost to society.
