"Our investigation found that in 2023 alone, American, Delta, United, Frontier and Spirit collected more than $3 billion in seat fees — only seat fees. That's not airfare, that's just fees for booking a specific seat in advance, or selecting a slightly better seat," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal in a hearing by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations on the impact of such charges on consumers.

The ironic, hypocrisy of this is amazing. These sanctimonious asṣholes opine on and on about consumer this and rights that, but they have never seen a tax they didn't love and they have never said no to spending. They've never worked a day in their life, much less owned and run a business. They just want to make statements that the low information, emotionally stunted liberals will love.

Meh...it's a way for dweebs like Blumenthal to distract from his complete and utter failure.

OP is an lDIOT who doesn't even know what hypocrisy means and certainly hasn't made a case for the "hypocrisy" of opposing seat selection fees.

Nor the plethora of LIES attacking Blumenthal.

Senator Blumenthal served an unprecedented five terms, from 1991 to 2011, as Connecticut’s Attorney General, fighting for people against large and powerful special interests. His aggressive law enforcement for consumer protection, environmental stewardship, labor rights, and personal privacy helped to reshape the role of state attorneys general nationwide, and resulted in the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars for Connecticut taxpayers and consumers each year. 

A key player in the national fight against Big Tobacco, he helped end deceptive marketing aimed at children—a victory significantly lowering youth smoking rates, and compelling a multi-billion dollar settlement for Connecticut taxpayers. He also helped lead a coalition of all 50 states that culminated in historic agreements with social networking sites to better protect children from internet predators.

Senator Blumenthal personally argued several major cases in court, including four before the U.S. Supreme Court—among them his successful effort to uphold the Connecticut sex offender registry in the Supreme Court. He fought and sued the federal government for failing to follow or enforce environmental laws and energy statues, as well as imposing multimillion dollar unfunded mandates on local taxpayers under the No Child Left Behind Act.

You must love to spread your cheeks for corporations, huh?
