In fact, so many of these pilots prefer this indentured servitude that we've got record numbers! Incredible!
- skinnymuch 4y agoBeing forced to participate in society doesn’t mean that’s what people prefer. Your last line is like the mocked meme of “if you hate capitalism so much why did you buy a shirt”. The logic doesn’t work. Of course many anti-capitalists are going to consume capitalism because they live here and not everyone can leave. The same logic would hold for pilots. Regardless of the numbers.
