(9,137 posts)that it is in many cases cheaper to fly than to take train - which is just wrong wrong wrong!
The problem is systemic and it makes responsible choices very often less practicable. And from all that we know, it cannot continue much longer, and we would like to find our ways to jump out of the train - or plane - before it hits the wall of rock.
Myself, I wouldn't consider flying from pointless meeting to another just to make moneymakers more money very meaningful life, sounds more like torture - my late mother used to do that, until she got burn out and had to stop working for money - and started doing things she really liked and wanted to do (in her case theater and bead jewelry). And as they say, there is nothing more important than gardening, and even that is not that important.
