That is to say, do you really want a federal law passed about this? I vote we go with social shaming. Worked for cigarettes.
- eudamoniac 7mo agoSome cultures don't really get phased by shaming in that way, unfortunately.
- SilverElfin 7mo agoShaming doesn’t always work. I’ve asked politely and been threatened in return by people that look dangerous. That made me want to avoid confrontation in the future.
- mikkupikku 7mo agoIt didn't really work well with cigs until govs started banning smoking in restaurants, bars, etc. That said, the shaming was important for setting the social stage for such legal bans.

- bigstrat2003 7mo agoI don't really want that. But I do sometimes fantasize about revoking some people's ability to use speakerphone or reply-all.
- balderdash 7mo agoOf course they do - they modified their contract of carriage - which you basically agree to why buy a flight (https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/contract-of-carriage.html https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/contract-of-carriage.html) it’s the same mechanism they use to deny you boarding if you are barefoot etc.
