No, it allows them to ratchet up the prices. Say there are 100 rich travellers & 900 poor travellers distributed among 10 airports, and each airport can support 100 people. The remaining airport can raise its prices to price out the poors until only the rich travellers can afford it, allowing it to operate at capacity while securing a higher profit. Obviously this is awful for us, but it's not a problem for the airport.
Of course, this assumes that they would be willing to fly normal seats, I guess they might not? Presumably there are luxury planes you could use or something.
This is true but generally that money is still functionally real because it can be spent, even if in some sense it's "socially constructed". Similarly banks don't have all the cash on hand, but no one would argue that the money in your account isn't real.
To put it clearer terms: when the markrt cap goes up, stock owners can buy more stuff. Where's the stuff coming from?
You're mixing up is and ought. It's not about reality, it's about demonstrating allegiance to a side by claiming is how they want it to be.
When people say "Taiwan is part of China", they aren't making the factual claim "Taiwan is an administrative subdivision of the Chinese state.", but rather the moral claim "It would be good if China conquered Taiwan."
Insane, mind-boggling, that good and bad things can coexist. If only they were holding a confederate flag so we could grandstand about it in a morally uncomplicated way.
Fucking antifa spiders.
