That is not what I was inferring, what I was trying to get across is when it is a major item that effects us all and is a necessity, there is often not the same reaction.
Erm, obviously?
Consider the downside to removing all the garbage trucks from the roads? Public health is the most obvious. Now compare with the downside of cancelling an airshow/restricting it. The latter, we can all get on with our lives without issue, the former would cause some fairly serious issues for the basic functioning of society. And probably a number of deaths from health impacts.
It's basic cost benefit analysis.
