Do you know what is entirely more complicated than it should be?
Travel by air.
It is overly complicated, messy, and full of useless bureaucratization.
There are roughly 61,000 people in the airspace over this country at any given moment.
Millions and millions of dollars are poured into the business of airline cuisine, and yet most airlines don’t offer any refreshments on domestic flights.
The average person has to wait nearly half an hour in security lines before even boarding their flight.
And yet none of this is as insulting or demeaning as the concept of “unaccompanied minors.”
Who are they to say who is fit to travel by themselves or not? There are hoardes of people over the age of fourteen who should not be trusted in the air on their own. And yet they can buy airplane tickets without having a guardian sign off on this.
It’s really a wonder that anyone choses to go through legal channels.
I need a private jet.
