If you force the airlines to do government work and don’t pay them, then ticket prices will rise. Tourism and international business travel to the U.S. are already significantly down, primarily because of potential visitors’ concerns about clearing Customs.

the value of the dollar is at a 15 year low, scandal after scandal has taken it’s toll on our stock market, economy and political system,
most of the sovereign nations have flipped us the bird concerning this war, and our other similar interests.

now we’re interfering with the flow of a major income source, this does not bode well for us…

the path we’re on if we stay on it, we’re gonna be third world status in the not too distant future.

I love the country i live in, but I really hate the people in charge.
