The proof is in the fact that a once in 100 year event has caused some stress? Of course it has!

"are you implying that real wages have grown significantly enough to protect the regular house hold?"

The alternative appears at this point to have been contraction.. so growth is better than contraction! I agree that it is not enough, but wage stagnation only started to finally reverse course after years of low rates.

Citing "profit loss" is beyond parody, profit loss! Not even citing actual losses! Like, they are still profitable? ROTFL!

5% is a small amount, and it is not as if there is a scenario where air travel is a robust business right now! There are not, at this point, widespread bankruptcies of large companies. I rest my case.
