What other mechanism do they propose to distribute scarce resources? Let's say it's FCFS. I'd like to see cnn-critters write an outrage piece: "larks [people who tend to wake up early] are first in line at Disney World". Genetic (probably) privilege! It's not other guys' fault they have to sleep in! Of course not, it's always the "wealthy". Then they themselves say Clear apparently has 19m members and is planning to expand. Given realistic rate of adoption this is probably top 10% at least (and that would assume more than half of top 10% are enrolled - seems unlikely), hardly "wealthy". Of course, if you don't say "wealthy" you don't get the outrage. One tech angle here is... posting this political, non-tech drivel on HN, for me, just helps convince me that mainstream media is pernicious and that most journalists cannot be trusted. I'm trying to cling to the belief in the importance of the press as an institution... but no, I think with stuff like this, we'd do better without. Can AI, Google, Substack, e/acc, whatever please compete them out of existence already?
