That's what aviation needs, government ownership. That will save our jobs and will give us job security. Make the airlines too big to fail. And why stop there, make/designate everything too big/too important to fail. Start with airlines and airports, then we nationalise the road transportation and rails, then agriculture next, car makers, groceries, window cleaners, etc. In the end we need all of these and more. Where is the end of this?
We might as well stop all private businesses and go full Soviet style. You know, just cut the middle man. We have all the "generated" money there is. We can not run out of those.
And please don't try to bring me down with those negative sentiments like "What about responsibilities and commitments, or pursuing unlimited growth while dealing with finite resources on our planet, sustainability of population growth, our freedom, the right to own private properties, the corruption what socialism brings, geopolitical tensions it results in". Those are for schmucks.
Maybe the answer is centralizing the power and control everything. Nobody's ever tried that, so why not give it a go. We could call it erm, I don't know, communism?

Nevertheless, I believe you are right and we are going to go on full retard and chose the easy way out again. At any rate, that's how it is lately, never to solve a problem just kick that can..
