capitalism. next question?
actually, don't bother! just assume the answer to why things suck is always capitalism unless you find hard evidence to the contrary.
Look, I'm basically a communist most of the time, but I don't think this is a good take. I'll admit I don't actually know the numbers but I know air travel is expensive and not great for the planet.
It could be better, sure, but I would argue that cramming people in and offering the barest of amenities is a good thing when it comes to air travel. Yes, it sucks to be in a plane but it sucks to pollute the air too. It's good that more people have more travel options now, and it's good that we can get more people to more places with less fuel than ever before. We shouldn't bitch about that, we should accept it as a necessity for getting what we want: to arrive someplace far away in an amazingly short period of time, allowing us to see more of the planet than any of our ancestors, while minimizing the harm as much as we can.
