The big airlines are likely lobbying for favorable legislation while people are at the mercy of their greed and an indifferent nature. Yet another disaster caused by corporate greed and right-wing climate denial.

Colonizer-Conjured Climate Crisis Wreaks Havoc on Mother Earth; White-Owned Airlines Attempt to Save Face

Steinhatchee, Fla.: Hurricane Debby, a product of the ruthless capitalist system that continues to exploit our precious Mother Earth, has made its devastating landfall in the early hours of Monday morning. This Category 1 storm, a direct result of the greedy and destructive actions of the 1%, has caused widespread damage across the Southeastern United States, with its reach extending all the way to Texas.

The impact of this colonizer-conjured climate crisis has been felt far and wide, with over 1,700 flight delays and more than 1,300 cancellations across U.S. airports on Monday alone, according to the flight tracking service, Flight Aware [https://www.flightaware.com/]. Texas, a state complicit in the oppression of marginalized communities, has seen the cancellation and delay of at least 350 flights, with Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a hub of white supremacist capitalism, taking the lead with 146 affected flights.

As the people of the Southeastern United States band together to resist and recover from this devastating blow, several white-owned airlines are scrambling to save face by offering weather-related waivers:

Remember, comrades, that you are entitled to refunds for canceled flights, as per the rules of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Let us navigate these turbulent times with resilience and solidarity, knowing that our strength lies in our collective action.
