    The value is being transported from point a to b.

    If you flew in the 80's or 90's, then you know how significantly de-regulation has affected the value of the product.

    Frankly, you're wrong, but you have a right to be. The problem here isn't fat people, it's rich people wanting to extract more money from passengers while offering nothing of value in return.

    Have a great day.

    Lemmy is extremely anticapitalist and still disagrees with you, does that not give you pause?

    Not at all.

    Our culture hates fat people and thinks being fat is a moral failing. This doesn't surprise me at all, and it likely hasn't even crossed most people's minds to blame billionaire capitalists instead of fat people.

    Right so, really the airlines should calculate the volume of a person and allocate a box of that size. When you get to your box, you have to fold yourself into it. If anything hangs out, maybe cut it off or just smash it in violently. Screw the bathrooms, just hold it or piss on yourself. Air conditioning and heating? Unnecessary. Think of the weight savings if the boxes were packed in like cargo. You wouldn't need seatbelts. Maybe then those poor airlines that are barely eeking out a profit, might make money. We don't need any amenities. I mean, did you get there?

    Oh and if the airlines aren't making money then that just proves that deregulation doesn't work. They were the ones that lobbied for it.
