Man you read these airline "stuck on the tarmac for hours" stories and it makes you want to explode in rage. Even if it's only 50% true, this one is next level; can't remember a story remotely resembling this situation.

And what can you do? I can and do write 'dem letters to my Reps and Senators. But the feeling of hopelessness can be intense with these things. Corporate priorities stressing us out and leaving us in the lurch, over and over, again and again.

Remember how after 9/11, everyone took personal responsibility for potentially detaining hijackers in-flight?

You could take personal responsibility for having a medical emergency when stuck on tarmac with no air conditioning.

How exactly might one take personal responsibility in this scenario? Just stop having a medical emergency I guess?

Comrade, the responsibility is to /have/ a medical emergency.

I don't understand what you are saying, is it a joke?
