Comment on Airline classes as wealth redistribution

Comments

The author is clearly confused about libertarianism - as a libertarian, the points he's making are very 'no duh', and the characterization of the 747 as 'socialist' is odd (libertarians advocate for this sort of redistribution - and even less materially mutual beneficial redistribution - i.e. charity - all the time) but aside from his ham-fistedness about 'voluntary redistribution', it's a very eloquent and well-done article. I don't know about thrones in school busses, though.

He is from UK, and the meaning of the certain words that start with liber- begins to differ significantly across the atlantic.

ah. Good point. Do they still have libertines there, though?

Not only do we have libertines, we have the libertines.
