Airlines are already a near casualty. Government subsidies, bankruptcies to defraud employees, and killing off any high speed rail all in light of intractable fuel costs means the writings on the wall.

The only thing left in most businesses is government subsidization. Profit guarantee. Look at Elon Musk. That's his entire story. Our tax money at work building useless vehicles. Same people who thought Steve jobs a genius also elevate this guy. Both are/were good at storytelling, and that's about it.

I'm told that in France it is only the poor who fly. The TGV is faster, more luxurious and without the indignities. Seems that train is the place for this coating.

But we spend our money on wrong design war weapons, 1000 or more overseas military installations, and make parasites like Musk wealthy.

As to bugs, yeah, wax and RainX work, but a short bottle of DAWN and ones own squeegee make fast work of clearing the glass (says this old truck driver).
