You got me, basically no different than nationalizing all the airlines

Maybe the reason Trump seems to hate Denmark, Canada, Norway, Minnesota and Vermont so much is that they are nice, decent places that work pretty well -- in other words, the opposite of everything Trump stands for.

Airlines are required to list their "all-in" prices, instead of tricking you with a $49 bait price and piling on fees, taxes etc at the final point of sale. Seems to me that's a pretty good model for most if not all of the economy.

There is something sad and but funny about Donald Trump inadvertently taking up a left-wing concern -- the plight of the "debanked" and "unbanked" www.npr.org/2026/01/22/n...
