Comment Re:Reclining Seats? (Score 1) 471

Unfortunately, we all kind of co-exist in this thing called a society, and sometimes situations arise where you have to come down off the Soma for a few hours and deal with it. Like many others here, I'm taller than average, but I don't go out of my way to inconvenience any other passengers. Alternatively, using your logic, I paid for the area into which your seat is reclining, so maybe I can sublease it to you if you want to use it to take a nap?

So you want to look equitable? Try booking a seat in the last row of economy, then try to recline it. Damn, that didn't work. Maybe those folks in the second-to-last row might take pity and not recline into you if you ask nicely enough. Except now you've moved the problem up a row, so maybe those people ask the people in front of THEM, and so on. And as an aside, I find it very difficult to see how the three inches of recline you might get is in any way more comfortable for a nap.

Speaking from an American-in-Germany perspective, every supermarket has at least one machine for recycling plastic, aluminum, and glass. You just feed each bottle into the conveyor, barcode is scanned, and when done you get a receipt that you use in checkout. It's very efficient, encourages recycling, and with the help of some of the less fortunate, also keeps the streets cleaner. No reason not to do this in the US, other than the initial cost of the machines. And maybe the laziness of people :(
