Maybe because you so blithely advocate for the death of other human beings like a child. It's interesting how folks probably think of themselves as good people yet can so easily joke about ending the life of another human.

Wouldn't say I advocate, I just don't have much empathy.

Nope, Jetblue capped fares, then the other airlines were forced to respond. Now Jetblue looks like the good guy, while the others get bad press. Doesn't matter if the story is true or not to the public.

That's a different story than complaining about the airlines jacking up prices when it is far from the truth.

That would make you a psychopath. Glad you admitted it. Thanks.

"Psychopath?" Insensitive, perhaps, but not a psychopath.

No it's not, when an evacuation is ordered, if fares aren't capped, the algorithm will jack up prices based on the sudden extreme demand.

In a true capitalistic environment, there shouldn't be limits on price gouging. The value of anything is always dependent on location, time, and circumstance. The price for water today in Montana can be $1. But in southern Florida today because of excessively high demand, the price can be $12.

Same with air fares, even without hurricanes. Those who buy months in advance pay a certain lower amount, because the value of that seat months in advance is low. Now that same seat today is worth a LOT because to someone, this seat today is extremely valuable today and must travel. 6 months ago the fare for this same seat is $100. Today, last minute fare for same-day travel is $600.
