ANF: US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy basically says the majority of airline passengers are a bunch of slobs, encourages people to start dressing better when they travel at airports
Honestly, when I read the headline to this story, I couldn’t imagine that it was headed in any other direction than mass defiance, triggering and straight up rage-baiting from the federal fucking government. To which it’s kind of sad, yet entertaining, but really more sad, that the federal government would go to the trouble to immaturely rage-bait as if they were a low-tier Instagrammer trying to get shock views with a poor take.
There’s no way Sean Duffy wouldn’t have known that posting a video, calling out primarily everyone who goes to airports in sweats, pajamas or otherwise comfortable clothes, and essentially blaming them for the uptick in disorderly conduct incidents at airports and on airplanes, wasn’t straight trolling. As if he himself actually ever goes to airports for any other reason than to do his job, but he’s most definitely not flying commercial, with the rest of the pleebs, when he probably flies private, when for his own personal needs.
I mean it goes without saying that Americans today, more than ever, hate being told what to do, but telling them how they need to be dressing, that’s a tier above as far as triggering the defiance of modern America. The response from the masses have been predictable and not at all surprising.
I’m sure all the fights and incidents have nothing to do with the fact that over the last two decades, the airline industry has been stoking the flames of passenger dissatisfaction, with all sorts of bullshit shenanigans such as cramming more seats into planes, reducing leg room, personal space, charging for bags, charging for snacks, and of course, the escalations of fares in general with absolutely no justification for doing so other than to line the profits of companies that are already billion dollar companies, among other things.
It’s totally because people are rolling into airports wearing sweatpants or pajamas. Yep, makes total sense. Hey, perhaps if we’re being encouraged to go back into the golden age of airlines, why not allow smoking on flights again? Why not fire all the male flight attendants, and make sure all planes are staffed by attractive stewardesses instead?
The more I think about this whole thing, the more I can’t believe that this was absolutely anything other than a classic rage-baiting troll job, except that it’s coming from within our own government. Like some defiant shit influencer who wants to throw shade, except in this case it’s coming from a 54-year old man(-child).
Honestly, this is all probably part of a larger, more nefarious plot, in order to force more martial law into things that ordinarily never needed it. Duffy rage-baits the traveling nation, many predictably start dressing up like even bigger slobs at airports in defiance. Airlines have little choice but to enforce their own dress rules, leading to more irate customers, passengers, and causing more incidents. The National Guard suddenly has to start showing up at airports, and funding somewhere more essential is depleted in order to support. Hashtag ‘Murica.
