LaGuardia, like many (most?) airports, is run by the government. This is a distinction without a difference, at least in this case.

Which government? State, Federal, City, or a Port Commission? There is in fact a significant distinction between the responsibilities and capabilities of each of these levels of government and you can't lump them all together. My home airport is operated by a port commission, which is government, but the port commission's task is to operate the ports.

But all private businesses have the same responsibilities and capabilities and therefore can be lumped together as one entity? The asymmetry in how you're critiquing the way this is discussed ends up revealing your bias.

LaGuardia is not ran by a local government, not the Federal Government.

I genuinely have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. Do state governments not count as governments?

Being pedantic about something painfully obvious is a reflection of your own intelligence. But everyone needs a hobby!

I still have no idea what you're attempting to convey here, but the way you answered a genuine question with what reads like an attempted insult tells me that I shouldn't care about whatever you were trying to say.
