An underrated issue with allowing dumb scams is that in a competitive market, letting sleazy operators pull these stunts over time forces more honest and ethical people to copy the sleaze to stay in the game. — PolitiTweet.org

I accept this analysis in the case of baggage fees but the “resort fees” that hotels started charging aren’t an optional add-on, it’s pure deception. — PolitiTweet.org

The article is very long but the whole thing hinges on basically “one guy told me this is what happened” with no other explanation. I’m skeptical. — PolitiTweet.org
