Flying Was Already the Worst. Then America Stopped Using Headphones.

I have no fucking idea why this trend started, but seems to be worse in Gen Z. I think it’s due to a complete lack of social skills caused by their isolation and smartphone obsession; they see only their phone and the “people” in it as real. The rest of the world does not exist in the same way to them.

And it’s not just conversations, either. Many people listen to music and TV shows at top volume in airports, on flights, and other public places.

Anyone who doesn’t use headphones in public should be tased repeatedly. And then kneecapped if that fails to work.
