      Already tried that. Didn't work.

        Bigger seats, then. As posited in the opening post:

        Civility is easier when there is more space between you and the other passengers.

        That's what I noticed in the video when they show air travel in the old days. 🤷

          a bit retarded. in the 50's and 60's airtravel was a luxury. for the wealthy. the equivalent of first class in ocean travel (think titanic)
          seats were roomy. food was restaurant style. everyone was civil.
          now its just another form of steerage class (think titanic) hell.

          on the up side, planes are a lot safer than they used to be. so less chance of ending up in icy water (think titanic)

          Maybe that will be the big driver for Trump's second term.

          I was only joking

            Civility is good. Civility is easier when there is more space between you and the other passengers.

              It’s not like there aren’t thousands of PSAs out there. I’m sure Pete Buttgeigh made similar pointless PSAs, but they weren’t focused on title hammered on like anything from this administration.

                I searched for "pete buttigieg transportation PSA" on YouTube and found no such PSA. Maybe you can find one; please post here if/when you do. Thanks.

                    This fits in this thread about the democratization of air travel.

                    My anecdote, I got my first passport at 21. My son got his first at 4 months.

                      I like the Covid dip. Looks like the Hillary step on Everest.

                        I’m curious what it looked like from 1960-1990. Obviously it didn’t have a slope like that.

                          That steep slope in the 2005-10 era was when Americans started to need a passport to travel to US, Mexico, and the Caribbean
