Shame used to be a valuable tool to keep a certain 1st World-level of public order. All gone now, welcome to chaos!
“1st World-level is public order...welcome to chaos.”
Well put. Try being stranded for days with Spirit airlines slightly off the path of a hurricane two years ago. I’m still traumatized. Not merely for that single experience but knowing it foreshadowed the direction greater society at large was going in as well. Spirit is unique in its awfulness but the whole business model of airlines these days..the cutting corners...the shoddiness...the catering to shareholders at the expense of basic customer service...and don’t get me started on Boeing...
The above can be likened to how every major big city in America is run.
