Ok they’re not looking out for our health and safety but at least they are doing everything they can to protect profits.

Another developing nightmare for the White House is growing fears that the travel industry — an important driver of the economy — could face a catastrophic blow as conferences are canceled and families mull whether to hold off on vacation plans.

After United Airlines announced cuts to capacity on domestic and international flights, the CEO of Southwest Airlines warned the domestic carrier may soon make the “gut punch” decision to cut flights owing to a falloff in bookings that started last week.

Trump met airline executives at the White House on Wednesday and they asked him not to publicly discourage Americans from taking planes since their business were at risk, a person familiar with the meeting told CNN’s Kevin Liptak.

Oh did they. Did they really. That’s fascinating because planes are known to be disease vectors like almost nothing else. The airlines don’t bring in new air during flights because it costs more, so they circulate the same stale re-breathed virus-laden air for the whole two or five or twelve hours of the flight. But hey, never mind that there’s a building epidemic, the important thing is the CEOs’ paychecks. These shitheads sat in Trump’s office and asked him not to issue appropriate health warnings but to shut up about it instead for the sake of their bank accounts.

Is that ruthless enough?
