  This is almost certainly a European thing.

  It is a European thing!

    Because of course it’s Ryanair.

    Oh, you want a seat? That’s an extra £50. Each. Both ways. Go fuck yourselves.

    The EU needs to regulate the fuck out of that shitbag company.

    It’s a capitalism thing.

    Extract as much value as possible. Deliver as little value to your customers as possible. Treat them as second layer of product.

    Human needs are not the goal.

      Yep, nobody ever tried to exploit their fellow humans until capitalism was adopted in the 18th century. The other economic systems that existed parallel to capitalism were also exploitation-free.

        It is weird when you criticize one thing and people start saying shit like this, as if your critique of the one thing, is an endorsement of everything else.

        I never suggested otherwise. However capitalism’s core motivator is exploitation.

        It is in no way wrong to suggest we move away from such a model, or criticize such a model.

        The point isn’t that capitalism is worse, but that it isn’t any better. Despite all the fancy clothes and powdered wigs there is still a class oppressing another class except now the oppressors enjoy far fewer violent deaths.

    Ryanair has no plans to introduce them. (sorry for the metro link).

    Also Ireland kind of gets a pass they don’t have a rail link to anywhere. A Dublin-Holyhead tunnel would definitely be a good idea.

      The UK can barely get high speed rail going to Birmingham where they’ve already got tracks. The rest of HS2 got cancelled.

      I don’t see how the same thing under the sea would ever get done.

      Plus trains here are more expensive than planes for no reason whatsoever other than greed.

        I was going to add a jab at the Brits but then thought “nah, they’re going to do that themselves, much more effective that way”.

        The rest of HS2 got cancelled.

        Practically as an act of economic sabotage. British people hate their country and are actively trying to destroy it from within
