I like you but unsure how this contributes to the discussion haha

Then you will be strong and healthy
No overhead storage, just under seat! Standing room for all
Yep air travel and the DMV make me wonder how we survived this long as a species haha
If they need to haul more stuff, then they should just check the bag.
Carry on is for stuff you need to use during the flight. That’s it.
No
Wheels enable people to pack too much stuff, since they don’t have to carry it
People should either pack less or check their bags
If you are not CARRYING it. It is not a CARRY-ON.
Semantics, but also if you disagree, you should be up voting the post and telling me you hate me
Reminder that this is unpopular opinion
Is it easier to carry 40 pounds in a bag with wheels or without?
Would they be more or less likely to pack a heavy bag of they did not have wheels?
The wheels are definitely about the weight. They promote packing heavier and more, since the owner doesn’t have to physically carry it through the airport. I bet you most of those wheeled bags are 40+ pounds.
They will be less likely to pack 5 bricks in a backpack because they’d have to carry it through the airport instead of rolling it.
I’m talking about those bags that technically fit the maximum possible dimensions for carry-ons that have gotten really popular in the past few years.
But they allow people to pack very heavy, and most Americans are out of shape. So the plane takes twice as long to board and empty since many people struggle to lift the bags.
Yeah this is the worst! You know a few designers raised this exact problem during review, too, and were shut down

This thread has been tough for me tbh. A lot of the things I’m reading here were like what I would say when I was back in college.
I guess I’m the old man now haha
I agree, with the caveat that your last sentence is a little hand-wavey. The word “Just” makes it seem easier than it is. People are easily swayed & bought. It’s wrong, but it is a thing.
Well. Amazon didn’t make a profit for a long while. Maybe still not? EBITDA? Idk their current numbers, but I’m assuming there’s a lot of Hollywood Accounting happening.
I think closing those types of loopholes is the place we should start. Circling around: these campaign promises are easy to make, hard to keep.
It requires knowledge of accounting, economics, law, tech, politics…few people, if any, have that breadth of knowledge and connections.
I would be impressed with a politician if they had a solid how on these items. Otherwise: talk is cheap.
Yep! And people in China VPN around it
One thing I will mention. GMT above focuses on 15% of profits. It is trivial to manipulate that number. Which is why I am also for…
Openly transparent auditable money
Exactly! Good link
Thank you for sharing the video! I will take a look 🤠
Tbh I don’t care about votes, I am more interested in the discussion haha
