Corporations MUST Die!

On December 23, I took my daughter to the airport: she was flying out to spend Xmas with her grand-parents. Of course she had a confirmed ticket but it wasn’t that simple.

“We have to put her on standby.”" Says the ticket agent.

“She has a confirmed seat. Have you over-booked?”

“There are seats for everyone but the plane is under a weight restriction.”

“Then you’ve over-booked the freight.”

“Uh,” the agent thinks of how to dodge this remark, “we’ll try to get everyone on.”

“You WILL get my daughter onto her confirmed flight: even if you have to toss all the freight off. People are more important than luggage – or doesn’t Air Canada think so?”

To make this story short, my daughter got her seat but her baggage had to follow later. It turned out well enough but I suspect that was only because someone stood up to the corporate Grinch. In many other instances, the greed personified in the corporate entities runs over people in hob-nailed boots.

[private_Chevron]Airlines and vacation corporations employ an extremely sleazy practice of over-booking. A person wrongly believes they have bought a confirmed ticket, when in fact the corporation has sold 110% of the plane’s capacity. Looking at it realistically, they have sold you a seat that they already sold to someone else, or vice-versa. If all passengers show up, then some will not get to fly – even though they hold a valid ticket.[/private_Chevron]

[private_Chevron]The grinch squeezes life for every extra penny because the grinch does not have life. The foul over-booking tactic gets even worse. If a passenger is even one minute late for the check-in time, the grinch doesn’t have to refund the ticket – even though every seat on the aircraft is full. In other words, the grinch is getting 100% revenue for the filling plane’s capacity but it is gouging an extra few percentage points for seats that were not even available. For SHAME!

Corporations are scum. Corporations must die.

Do you understand that ‘death’ statement? That corporations must die? I’m not talking about people, even the ones who own parts of, or work for the corporations are not at fault. The corporation does NOT deserve the status of existing as an entity. The corporations must die, even though they have never lived at all. The way forward for people, who do exist, is to be rid of things comprised of flawed notions, that don’t exist - like corporations, nations and law. We can do perfectly well without them.[/private_Chevron]
