Usually I like to just read comments, get a feel for where society is. I love the comments in this, it can be summarized as "throw AI at it" and "more tax dollars will fix it". Lets all forget that we have put the airline industry on government life support through regulation and bailouts, thats turned the biggest companies into tumors that survive off their (literal) monopoly rights. We can all pretend we didnt dehumanize the staff on/off-board with vaccine mandates that simultaneously violated their human rights and failed to stop infection or transmission (as they were promised). Yep, fat, lazy, unprincipled american voters to the rescue, throw in some rhetoric about how we are going to tax the rich (then tax poor/middle class people who dont have their own LLC), replace the workers woth AI, and incoherently froth about your political opponents. Or, you know, we could start privatizing it. Calm down, its OK, I was a nuclear reactor operator in the navy, I can assure you it will only ever get worse.

Yeah people doing that kind of job needed a jab. Sorry to say it. Greater good.

  Except, the jab didnt prevent infection or transmission, so what difference does it make? More pertinently, you are referring to the ends justifying the means. If Hitler had succeeded in making a utopian society where everything is just great, would he have been justified in the methods he used to achieve it? There will always be some ambitious goal, something society could achieve, if we could just get these people on board. You know, they are just in the way, they are holding society back! What follows that logic is never good for society, and look at what its created in ours; there is a contingent of ~60 million americans that never got vaccinated and are royally pissed about those mandates, probably tens of millions more that were effectively coerced into vaccination, and of these groups a disproportionate amount are gun owners. So, greater good, is it a good thing that something like 50 million gun owners now see their political opponents as a threat to their way of life? Do you think that kind of force could be stopped if things ever turned sour in this country? Are you so certain in the authority and power of your own political alliance that you dont think thats, an issue?
