LOL, wow! Tell us how you really feel.
And farmers. The farm sector is crazy. While the government is trying to 'help' them with subsidies, it actually hurts them (and the consumer) in the long run.Bailouts, hmmm... Banks, Investment Houses, Auto Manufacturers, that's all I could think of off the top of my head.
I haven't seen anyone claim that those are any more ethical or less assinine.Bailouts, hmmm... Banks, Investment Houses, Auto Manufacturers, that's all I could think of off the top of my head.
Really? They aren't trying very hard to make a profit.Ever been to the DMV? It takes me over an hour no matter when I go during the day to do anything there.
And even though the airlines are losing money hand over fist, at least they try to make a profit. The government running the show would well pretty much suck. Although from a pilots perspective it would probably be pretty cushy. If the TSA is any indication, you can double the pay off the bat.
Airlines are bleeding out of their butt cracks, and they're slashing costs, pay, and perks everywhere they can, and they're not doing that to try to make a profit?Really? They aren't trying very hard to make a profit.
Is this a trick question? Do you remember a little excercise for budding capitalists in elementary school called "lemonade stand"?...What do you suggest they do?
Didn't know the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has a passenger airline.The real answer is state run airlines (not as in nation states, but as in Georgia, Alabama, Alaska, etc.)
Let each state decide if they want to subsidize an airline, and keep fairs low, rather than have big national behemoths, we don't live in luxembourg, our country is too big with too many air travelers for a national airline.
You can't be serious! We'd have to make two dozen connections to travel from California to Florida!!!The real answer is state run airlines (not as in nation states, but as in Georgia, Alabama, Alaska, etc.)

I think they put more effort into concealing their profits than maximizing them.And even though the airlines are losing money hand over fist, at least they try to make a profit.

I wish they concealed profits, it would mean they actually made a profit!I think they put more effort into concealing their profits than maximizing them.
