Why is buying first class tickets bad?

• jdlshore 10mo ago
  GP is saying that they’re okay giving up buying first-class tickets if it means someone else gets to live. (Because they pay more for health insurance, which allows someone else to pay less.)

    It’s good that they choose to do that themselves. In fact, the US allows you to SEND THE GOVERNMENT A GIFT at https://www.pay.gov/public/search/global?formSearchCategory=Donation+Contribution https://www.pay.gov/public/search/global?formSearchCategory=... (You can even Venmo) If you want to do it, do it for real, instead of just being performative. But don’t try to force everyone to follow your performative pseudo gift.

      > the US allows you to SEND THE GOVERNMENT A GIFT How is this relevant? Cutting the deficit doesn’t solve the problem. And the folks who created this mess just blew out the deficit by trillions.

        It’s relevant because while the comment says that “they’re okay giving up buying first-class tickets” what they really imply is that they want everyone to give up buying first class tickets. If they want to constrain their own choices to help a nameless “someone,” they can literally do that themselves without involving the taxpayer at large. Just send the check to HHS or to a specific charity or individual.
