The Golden Age of travel is over: All our lives, we've taken it for granted

The Golden Age of everything is over as long as the world keeps bending it's knee to the elite, snoot-faced, evil, greedy, demented, degenerate, gutless weasels that run those pathetic world organizations like the WEF, IMF, and WHO. None of these disgusting toadstools were elected in anyway by the citizens of the world. They're nothing but rich losers who've never had to lift a finger in their lives, other than to do the bidding of their masters, or master. I don't know what country gave permission to these jackasses to run roughshod over the rest of us, but I sure as hell know that the American people surely didn't. Every filthy rotten politician is beholden to these jackals, EVERYONE OF THEM. They are nothing but controlled sock puppets, spewing their BS on a daily basis, and plotting against the world to institute their grand schemes because they simply have nothing better to do than screw up anything they see and touch.

Idiot.

At least learn to spell "flies" correctly.

For businesses across the Western world — hotels and restaurants, cafes and newsagents, garages and tour operators — this would be nothing short of a disaster.

It's true. Single mode transport and commercial air travel are on their way out.

The meat isn't scarce. The lumber isn't scarce. The liquid fuel to run the farms and the trucks is. Well...liquid fuel isn't "scarce" per se. It has become too expensive to extract and bring to market for most people to afford. In a capitalistic monetary based economy built and run on liquid fuels, that just doesn't work.

So the idea is that the "liquid fuel" club needs to get smaller and smaller, so only people who can afford to pay will get the "stuff". The meat. The lumber. The transportation. The healthcare. The technology. All the energy intensive services and activities we've become accustomed to are about to become a luxury only the super wealthy have access to.

It has to do with energy. Primarily the cost (energy and monetary) of extraction. The oil based civilization is winding down. Rich folks want that lumber for their kids to be able to buy. So they're increasing the price of lumber (and anything else of value) to ensure their kids can have the fossil fuel lifestyle. But in order to do that, they have to price a segment of the population out of the market. So the product remains, it's just too expensive for most people to afford.

It costs more to find, extract, and bring to market fossil fuel than they can ask people to pay without wrecking the economy. If you find the graph (there are a few good ones) of the price energy companies can afford to pay to extract the product, and the price the consumer can afford to pay for it, those lines have now crossed.

The energy companies need more money to stay in business than the average person can afford to pay for their product. Rich folks have seen this coming for years, and it looks like they've finally decided it's time to tighten up what is available (affordable) to who.

Personal transport, and air travel are on their way out for the average person. The electric initiative will fail to maintain expected living standards, and they know it. There is nothing that comes close to the energy density and convenience hydrocarbons provide. All the hype about "electrify America" is just so they can say they tried, and hopefully people will not get too riled up when they realize they no longer belong to the "single mode transport" club. Mass transit, bike, or walk for middle class very soon.

Absent a solution that I haven't seen, the "winding down" will continue. Technology is not energy. Technology REQUIRES energy. The problem is geological, and the elites know that the clock is ticking.

I've watched this coming for over 15yrs. The "shale miracle" bought us about 2 yrs. Now we're sitting back where we were around 08-09. With a lot of bankrupt shale companies and angry/broke investors. Getting back to "normal" isn't going to look at all like what people think. What we've been doing the last 150yrs or so isn't "normal". What's normal is what we are moving toward, and most people have no idea what's involved.

The golden age of travel was way before my time. In airplanes, 5 star service, everyone dressed and behaved well, people happy polite and excited. Very similar to steam engines when new, minus the black soot.

Everything humans do turns to shit though. Once you realize this, you are no longer disappointed.

Planned to put all of us in a prison - money, food, gas, electricity, cars, work, families, procreation - all going away.

more of us than the jews.

From the same type who routinely spells moron as moran in here.

Pot kettle.

Oh you know how to spell moron? Then you must not be a devout “member” of these forums. They have their little girly “click” habits to try and set them apart from people outside their little bubble.

The petro industry smeared and destroyed all of our FREE Energy

Airships were originally called dirigible balloons, from the French ballon dirigeable often shortened to dirigeable (meaning "steerable", from the French diriger – to direct, guide or steer). This was the name that inventor Henri Giffard gave to his machine that made its first flight on 24 September 1852.

HOW DID THEY DO IT,, well of course a false flag event, a well planned and then using the bull horn it was erased from existence and still till this day people still believe the lies.

ONE EVENT, only one in all those decades and it was obviously planned and was sabotage. the loss of 35 people...

The Hindenburg disaster was an airship accident that occurred on May 6, 1937, in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst. The accident caused 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen) from the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), and an additional fatality on the ground.

Survivors: 62 (23 passengers, 39 crewmen)
Destination: NAS Lakehurst, Lakehurst Borough, New Jersey, U.S

Summary: Caught fire during landing; cause undetermined

2019 I spent a sleepless night in a chair at the Cincinnati airport. My plane had to land there because of the weather delay at the destination. Then when the weather cleared, the pilots were over their federally designated flight time limit for the day, so no more flights that evening.

A lucky few got cots brought into the waiting area. The airlines don't have to provide hotel rooms for a weather delay But hey, the airline bought pizza for everybody.

Sitting there all night I realized it just wasn't fun anymore. I'll fly if I "have" to go somewhere but otherwise there's no place like home!

Clickbait title!

A fictional scenario for claiming the "golden age of travel" is over?

You call it "clickbait" to say that the "golden age of travel is over"? Well, I think you are as full of shit as a Christmas turkey!

Fly in a tube with a jabbed heard while hoping the
pilot dosen't have a jab attack. No Thanks
