deprivatize the aerospace industry. imagine the boon to the American economy if these failing, debt-ridden, dysfunctional aerospace manufacturers and airlines were replaced by a massive jobs program with the goal of optimizing air travel safety, affordability, and access. we’re a big country. we could massively benefit from an aeronautical empire that gives any person safe, enjoyable 30 dollar flights, coast to coast.
(edit, oops, forgot a prefix. wow)
Better yet, reduce reliance on domestic air travel by building a modern high-speed rail network
Cut the budget airlines dedicate to lobbying against HSR and you might get better results
No. If flights are dirt cheap, people will kill this planet using them. It’s not about the price, it’s about the amount (& type) of energy used to accomplish transportation.
