And now, Jet Airways.

[randomness]

I was never a huge fan of the airline but as is usual with airlines I'm on the side of more competition.

From https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47905089:

Passengers are stranded in India and around the world after Jet Airways suspended all international flights.

Flights from London, Paris and Amsterdam are among those grounded amid fears about the survival of India's largest private airline.

The airline cancelled all international flights until Monday when, according to reports, it will meet its lenders again to try to secure funding.

I just wish we could come up with a much more direct way for him to funnel money to me. :)

"And more of it, too!"

But it's not so surprising that the Depression/WW II generation was security-oriented and feared employers going broke. We're the next generation, and have never known really bad times, so we don't mind competition that is a little redder in tooth and claw.

Social benefits like unemployment insurance probably help with that as well.

That might come under the heading of "not knowing really bad times".
