[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dems have gotten so weird about questioning authority.  We’re all supposed to take what we get and be happy for it now?  What changed?[/quote]

We're happy to have constructive criticism of authority. However, this thread is suggests that a President (or perhaps more broadly, the executive branch) has sufficient authority through "power" and "regulations" to do something about challenges facing the airline industry. The reality, simpleton, is that neither the President nor the executive branch has this unilateral power (and you darn well know that Republicans don't want the government to have it). Regulations are like guide rails but they don't always determine business practices and even then, they have to have an enforcement mechanism to be effective. Of course, when any consumer-friendly regulation is proposed, it takes years to become a law (look up rulemaking and administrative procedure) and even then, it is fought tooth and nail by lobbyists and politicians who are funded by said lobbyists and corporations to dilute it and render it ineffective. Also, as far as travel concerns go, you're looking at the symptoms of a highly complex system that is stressed due to a variety of factors. There isn't one simple fix where a President can waive a wand and fix things. But you knew that, amirite?[/quote]

The federal govt regulates airlines moron.  Taxpayers have them billions in bailouts too.

All I hear from Dems n this thread is that no one is accountable anywhere, and certainly not Biden’s TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY, lol.  What a farce. Every excuse in the book for Biden and his unqualified diversity hire.[/quote]
