But the city-twin routes depend on the capital expenditures of the airports and are effectively monopolized. It seems like maybe it could be different, especially with more and more available eVTOL but it’s hard to imagine how that would work with the current set of planes.

I don’t know if that’s better or worse than treating them like a market-based business.

I think the airlines function a lot like utilities or railroads. There are layers of regulation, restricting price and operations, they are only allowed to operate on specific government licensed routes and airports, and they are seen as a national security resource that cannot cease operating.

Are those @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social?

Certain things work better as monopolies or pseudomonopolies like airlines (currently). Most things are better when the market is able to operate over many independent businesses and owners though.

First is Cover Artist, right?

Ah, your main mistake in these calculations is that car-crash-related fatalities don’t count.

Happy 10-04

Privatized though?

You don’t even realize you live in this amazing paradise. We can’t even get them at any price in the fanciest store.

So edgy and performative.

The largess of our grandparents’ investment in systems of science is being squandered, and our children and grandchildren will face a declining quality of life because of our selfish lack of foresight.

Start the reactor!

It must be hard for you to have to see it happening.

I haven’t asked you to jump through any hoops. I agree I’d be least likely to suffer under Cuomo. That doesn’t mean everyone else should have to.

Yeah, strong libertarian type got here flying your own bootstraps.

ooh, you made a joke about his name and sucking dick! Top quality stuff.

Okay you’re boring.

That’s how elections work

Seriously, What is wrong with you?

it’s like reading the NYPost in here.

It seems like it bothers you.

I voted for Harris don’t be weird.

The election hasn’t happened yet, you are campaigning for Cuomo here. Sucks if you weren’t aware. I feel bad for you.

Seems like I sort of did. Sorry.

Falling for people like Cuomo is really…something. I guess.

What is your problem?

It’s not enough to build it but I t’s enough control to ruin it, which they’re doing. Sad.

Super cultish to understand we haven’t been talking about you supporting someone else in the primary this whole time.

Nah. Why don’t you just answer my question of why you’re supporting Cuomo and what is wrong with you?
