The Dao of United Airlines

George Neumayr  April 12, 2017
Few experiences capture the awfulness of life in post-Christian America more vividly than a trip to the airport. It is a toss-up as to who behaves worse: the sandals-wearing passengers or the surly crew.
The classlessness of the airlines industry is breathtaking and has now culminated in the beating and dragging of a paying customer who dared to resist its “overbooking” schemes. One can only cheer the plummeting stock price of United Airlines — a biblically fitting punishment for its smallness and greed.
