Airlines are a type of company that generally does things by the book. Landing that plane cost a lot of money so I won't be surprised if it costs him his job. But he will have access to a formal termination procedure and appeal. And get severance pay if he's been there long enough. A majority of blue-collar workers don't have these benefits anymore.
The real problem with laissez-faire capitalism is that its stability must predicate on unlimited economic growth. But we're gonna have bosses one way or another and bosses will always be privileged, living better than others do, sometimes even living while others die. It's called "famine never reaches the rulers" and held true long before the private property state came into being.
The difference in life styles between rich and poor has been steadily closing. Liberaltards like Brian would like you to believe that the middle class and poor are being abused by the rich. However the fact of the matter is everyones quality of life is rising and its rising fast. Poor people today have it better than middle class people of the 1970s. We have a situation where there is a capitalistic tide lifting all boats.
Hey you selfish jaded idiot, "lifestyle" is a bullshit term. Everyone needs food and shelter dipshit. Living is what all humans do.
The poor aren't out to be trendy asshole. How does it feel to have an atheist who doesn't believe in Jesus value the kind motifs of the NT better than a fucking idiot like you?
