I wonder how many plane crashes it'll take before this changes.
If at all.
Look at how quick we got used to school shootings and climate change and death-squad healthcare and a bunch of other awfulnesses.
We are very good at taking abuse and carrying on with it.
Aircraft accidents discourage tourism, though. Dead children is one thing, but this could affect people's bottom line.
Tourism has been discouraged for a while, yet nothing is changing
That's true.
All it will take is one billionaire hitting another plane.
Maybe it will happen to air force one too?
Maybe we can hire Luigi as the pilot for billionaires?
Have him fly it into Trump tower
