These fairs are cheaper with layovers are games the airlines play with fairs to maximize revenue
The airline is essentially paying you to fly on an unprofitable route in order to meet regulations that they provide service on that route.
Chicago and LA are bad examples because those are popular destinations.
An regional airport about an hour from where I live only gets four flights in and out a day, and the planes are usually 3/4 empty. The only reason the airport is open is because the government requires the airlines provide service to it; tickets on those flights are heavily subsidized - I read an estimate that each ticket sold represents a loss of about $600. I can get a ticket to fly into a major hub airport about 2 hours away or a ticket to the regional airport for a bit less because of that subsidy. The airline doesn't want to sell you or me the cheaper ticket, but they're required to offer them.
I don't blame the airline for trying to stop people from using that subsidy to get a cheaper flight into the hub.
They offer a service at a price.
Their offer is to fly you to LA at one price, or to Chicago at another price. But not to fly you to Chicago at the LA price.
If you don't like their offer? Fuck off.
Through a self-perpetuating ecosystem of developers, the banks will continue to gather high-value data from customers through third party integration.
I read the article but don't really understand what a "self-perpetuating ecosystem of developers" would do for me. It sounds like they're planning to breed.
Vote fraud happens. They threw out that particular election but I don't think any of the people who committed fraud were ever charged. And dozens of precincts in Philadelphia haven't had a single vote for a Republican presidential candidate in decades.
Stinson's absentee ballot campaign led to hundreds of improper votes, mostly in the district's Latino and African American neighborhoods. Those improper votes included forgeries and instances in which workers either marked ballots for voters, told them how to vote, or never showed them the ballot that was cast in their names.
But Democrats will tell you there has never been any significant voter fraud (although you might want to look up a guy named Landslide Lyndon) and that there is no need for voters to present an id card.
