I don't really think people are mad. I think there's one person trying to create outrage, giving the impression that they're doing something about it. It's the same people who created outrage over grocery prices, and you saw what happened there.
And the media is more interested in reporting the dog and pony show, and not the truth

If they are charging for both checked and carry on, just freaking raise the price. Unless they really think people don't use luggage. Stupid.
Except then they will appear as higher priced on the travel aggregator sites. And many many people have conclusively proven that they shop for lowest apparent price, not lowest actual total price.

Some states don't allow that anymore. The cruise line we travel on have to include all fees when a basic search is done thanks to California. Now I know all of the costs including all of the port fees and taxes in a basic search. Kind of the opposite of a minor rant there.

Today my wife's 17k-mile Q5 decided to imitate a large brick displaying a transmission fault for the second time in the eleven months and 6k miles we've had it.
Yuck, what year?
2021, plug-in hybrid. We'll theoretically find out Monday whether it's a recurrence of the same issue or a new one.
My mom passed away suddenly a month ago at 63. I'm still having a hard time finding peace in the way the funeral was conducted. I know that it's silly, but it's still bothering me. And I miss my mom.
A berkeleying tampon commercial in the middle of a kids show? Up yours, YouTube.

I'm sorry about your mom's passing, it is hard losing a parent. Missing someone is tough, you want to keep them in your thoughts but that tends to lead to sadness. In time the sadness goes away and you can remember the good times and experiences you shared , be patient it takes time to heal. As for what ever occurred at her service, unless it is something you had control over, try to let it go. Funerals can bring out some strong emotions and sometimes things get done or said that shouldn't. Another hard thing to let go of but likely better for your mental health. I used to hold grudges against people who wronged me and then realized the person I was pissed at had no idea anyone was upset and even if they did know they didn't care. I was the only one that was miserable. I hope you are able to find peace soon. Lean on your friends, that's why they are so good to have.

I really like only using carry-ons because i'm able to just grab my bag from overhead and walk off the plane and out of the airport. Very easy
