Government vs. Markets

Southwest Airlines is giving millions of dollars in refunds for all the delays and cancellations that occurred during the horrific blizzard that paralyzed much of the U.S. over Christmas (including five feet of snow and 70 mph winds that even shut the Buffalo, NY airport down).  It’s been less than a week since the Christmas day weather fiasco, and Southwest has announced that flights are back to normal.

Contrast this to what happens when governments fail to control crime (and cause it with its war on drugs); create filthy hellholes in our cities with bums defecating all over the streets; make students dumber when they leave school than when they started (especially at government-funded universities); destroy our economy with Nazi-style “lockdowns”; lose war after war after war after war; etc., etc.  There is never any thought of a tax refund.  Instead, we have higher taxes (including the inflation tax) because governments always double down and triple down on their failures and never, ever, admit failure.  YOU are blamed for their failures because YOU are too stingy and selfish and pay too little in taxes.

The biggest hypocrisy of all is how the creepy little freak who runs the U.S. Department of Transportation is out there threatening Southwest Airlines with punishment.  This is the same moron who claims that bridges are “racist.”  And who predicted months ago that flight delays will be far fewer by the holidays.
