That would be great but it will never happen because most consumers would not use one of their valuable choices for crappy liberal channels. Thus free from indoctrination.

Why is he stupid?

My first ride on a commercial airline was from Evansville to Washington DC in the early 1970's. I can still fly that cheaper today, in nominal dollars, than I did then. Airline travel used to be a luxury ticket for all but business travelers and the well-to-do. The world changed with deregulation. Fares came down, people of ordinary means started flying, and price competition drove the airlines to cram ever-more people aboard. Of course airline travel, in economy, is not as gracious and comfortable as it used to be, but it is a LOT cheaper. If you want the space and amenities that travelers used to take for granted, you can still get them, but you will need to fly business or first class, at prices comparable to what people were forced to pay 40 years ago.

Chuckie is reminiscing about the good old days when only the elites flew.

So funny. It never occurred to me that men don’t wash their hands in the lavatory. It makes sense. I guess.
