I don’t have a problem with the “lib readers” comment, except for the reflexive “There are so many poor people, it’s terrible!” comment.
I was poor with little kids at one point. I’m sure people looked at me askance, we did things at times that many would almost consider child abuse (kids sleeping all in one bed, asking everyone to give up Christmas presents, etc). Today I have an extremely close knit and happy family.
Did you fly accross the country with no money?
These folks are from NYC. Tons of things to do there for free or at low cost.
The issue is not being poor.
The issue is being stupid
IF you are that POOR, you should NOT be flying anywhere at all.
Senseless gamble. Busy season.
Airlines do not owe them a thing!!!
