I really like Ann; I think she makes a great contribution to the national debate.
However (and you knew the “fancy but” — thanks, Friends! :) ) was coming...
Flying coach is never comfortable. Things happen, drinks or food get spilled, babies cry, toddlers kick your seat, people have to go to the bathroom and you have to twist yourself into contortions to let them out, etc.
It is the price we pay for having low-cost air travel.
It’s really not that bad. We don’t generally die on a cross-country trip, or have to search for water, or look for hostiles wanting to kill us, etc. We should really count our blessings. :)
And we don’t have to eat our traveling companions.
Yeah, as bad as modern air travel can be, there’s very little “You have died of dysentery.”
