The Libertarian Party asks you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It is their final, most essential command.
I first flew as an adult in 1984. Air travel was better in the good old days. Seats were wider, and legroom longer. Airports have always been horrendous, but that hasn't kept them from becoming worse, either. But at least we no longer suffer terrible death tolls from underwear, shoe and shampoo bottle bombers.
- db48x 9mo agoIt was more pleasant back then because people who flew were paying 10× more for the privilege. If you want that level of service today then simply buy a first–class ticket. You too can pay 10× as much for a marginal increase in quality.
- bediger4000 9mo agoOk, I will reject the evidence of my eyes and ears.
- mhb 9mo agoWhat is that? You're flying first class and being disappointed because it's not like flying back in the day?
- db48x 9mo agoNo, use your eyes to look at _all_ the evidence. Yes, there was more leg room in the sixties, but the prices were a lot higher too. If you ignore the prices then you are ignoring evidence. If you fail to notice that most people could not afford to fly then you are also ignoring evidence.
