Short rant.

Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.

Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.

It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.

Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.

Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.

Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.

End Rant.

@QasimRashid please can we just build high speed rail across the US? We could eliminate basically all domestic flights with a proper high speed rail network, and have massively lower emissions, and tell these billionaires to sod off.

Win-win-win.

@pyoor @QasimRashid Bonus suggestion, put a crazy amount of fiber next to the rail, and then connect all cities and run municipal internet for anyone.
