Transportation Secretary Real World is demanding that starting today, airlines cut flights by 10 percent to keep planes from falling out of the sky during the shutdown, presumably to pressure Democrats to vote to end the shutdown. I think he’s not understanding whom voters are blaming for the shutdown (hint, it’s the people who run the government, and shut it down). —Wonkette

10% reduction in air traffic will greatly reduce carbon emissions and the ProGlibs should be all for reducing carbon emissions. If your privileged children and their friends can't gallivant off to Asia for funsies, oh well.

This will also encourage remote business meetings to make up for the lesser amount of air traffic.

It's a win-win all the way around and I think the planet would greatly benefit from cutting all air traffic by 50%, permanently.

Sorry if that means you have to pay more for your fancy trips to Europe etc.
