The difference in price between a flight on Frontier or Spirit, and someone else, or the price between a flight on United in economy vs premium, says that they have worked out a price on basic respect. The fact that people keep giving money to Spirit and Frontier say it's a tradeoff people are willing to make.

They can choose not to treat people like crap, but I don't know about you, but when I go to the store, and the thing I want is made in China for $20 or not for $30, I have a hard time wanting to choose the $30 one over the cheaper one, and factory owners know this.

Yes, I am. More conscious about what and who I buy. I don't have perfect information, but I do try to avoid blatantly evil brands. $10 more on my groceries doesn't matter at this point ins life when everything's getting more expensive and worse quality.

I'm not in the best financial situation, but it is one of my missions to try and fight back against this long term. I won't let Apathy erode away at me as well.
