   @dave@gleasonator.com that guy is a dumbass because modern airline costs are entirely dictated by efficiency, but there is a decent amount of serious research going into ways to reduce the noise from supersonic flight.
   
   The results from those tests will be used to see if the rules on supersonic commercial flights can be relaxed, although it probably still won't be worth it because not enough rich fucks need to travel so quickly with how easy it is to jump on a video call.

     “Lets go back to entire towns having their windows rattled on the daily so a handful of rich jackasses can save a couple hours on their cross-country flights.

     Also I’m going to offer some baseless conjecture about technology that doesn’t exist to argue that eventually, you too will be able to afford to rattle those windows.”
