I Hate The Way This World Has Become

A new terminal has been opened in LA airport. A really exclusive one for the mega-rich willing to pay a 7500$ annual membership fee, plus 3000$ for every international flight you take (only 2700$ in case of a domestic one).

As you can imagine, you are provided with all kinds of luxury there, including an ipad at the counter to look at the main terminal where the mob is queuing and trudging with heavy suitcases 🤢

Elites bragging about their power and wealth more and more. Neo-feudalism at its best

What if it pulled the revenue back that was lost to "private" airports? Then in turn... made the experience better for everyone.

@Kindheartedguy: that's a nice thought - if the profit were used for that rather than another vacation for the top dog. LOL ah who knows - maybe they will use some of it to improve things in general. Just have to switch out the ipads for TVs if the masses aren't looking miserable enough. 😝
