Biden Pulls Airline Passenger Protection, Prioritizes Corporate Profits
The Hill reports that the Biden administration has conveniently pulled a proposed rule that would have compelled airlines to pay passengers for flight disruptions—delays, cancellations, the general misery of modern air travel. This isn't just about 'deregulation'; it's about cementing corporate impunity. Remember when the government bailed out airlines during the pandemic with billions in taxpayer
dollars—like the $25 billion CARES Act passed in 2020? Now, those same airlines are apparently too fragile to compensate you when they strand you for a day. So, the next time your flight is delayed for six hours, know that *your* government decided your time, your missed connections, and your wasted money aren't worth the fuss. But sure, let's keep talking about 'fighting for the middle class.'
(Maybe the 'middle seat' class, who knows?)
