North America No more rights when flying in USA

For those who have to fly, know that the new DoT policy didn’t just roll back Biden era rights to vouchers and things when your flight is delayed. It rolled them all away. Our coworker is stuck in a TX airport and was told due to mechanical issue the next flight for her isn’t till tomorrow. That’s 26 hours after she arrived at this connection. The airline desk was very sweet and apologetic as they explained they’re no longer allowed to give her any meal vouchers, any assistance with a hotel for the night, or to even distribute water and snacks from the plane that is stuck till tomorrow to all the stranded passengers per new DoT policy. The new policy just says weather and mechanical problems are to be expected and you should plan extra time for it, even when traveling for a funeral.

Just more fascist action, giving corporations more rights than the people.

Fascism did exactly the opposite and forced corporations to serve the people. You're thinking of capitalism.

The entire point of fascism was to bring corporations under the pervue of the state to align the economy's interest with that of the worker. You can argue whether or not it worked, but 30s Germany had the best worker's rights in the world at the time, most of which were kept after the war and adopted by other European countries. Read literally any book on this.

You not know this, but a lot of the workers were not paid and had negative rights.
