It's time to nationalize the airlines. Air travel is a public good, and taking the profit out of the system would mean cheaper flights and cheaper shipping. Nationalization would also mean the public air service would be bound to serve the whole country, like the post office. Right now taxpayers are already subsidizing the airlines via billions of dollars of bailouts and subsidies. We deserve a say in how they are run. Let's make airlines work for us instead of padding the pockets of billionaires.

This is a great explanation of Youth Sports in the USA. Though the impact have not reached to Soccer quite like Baseball but it's happening. All these youth academies just making money by creating random tournaments, weekend games, without much focus on development.

Deregulation, and the consolidation that followed, has crushed our airline industry. Spirit's shutdown underscores this. Must-read thread from @nhegde on how Wall Street crushed Spirit and why we must re-regulate the airlines👇
Nidhi Hegde@nhegde

The end of Spirit Airlines is a tragedy for workers and consumers. But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about one airline. Post deregulation, the entire industry has been structured to serve Wall St financiers, not passengers or workers. 🧵
