    It's for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane

      Drug addicts are shamed and no one cares

      Many people care, and why would that make it okay?

      I never said it made it okay. What you are doing is straw man rhetoric, a manipulative strategy to discredit someone.

      Sowas muss doch nicht sein.

        No need to get emotional and personal. I would love to see a source on how vegetables are more expensive than junk food and I'll gladly change my mind.

        Edit: Alternatively you can just downvote my comments and leave. That'll show me.

        No ones getting emotional, however saying that phrase is a common tactic of people who are arguing in bad faith.

        However, I'll entertain your "BUT- BUY SOURCE? SOURCE ? PEER-REVIEWD SOURCE PL0X" since you clearly don't know how to use a search engine.

        https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9967271/

        Over the three years since 2019, the cost of food and drinks has escalated, particularly in the most recent year, with the prices of healthy foods and drinks increasing at almost double the rate of increase in prices of unhealthy items.

        https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/27/healthy-foods-are-often-more-expensive-heres-why.html

        “The data very clearly says, there is this fixed high cost for fresh fruit and vegetable, which is not there for other products,” Thijs Van Rens, one of the authors of the Warwick study told CNBC

        https://extension.usu.edu/nutrition/research/does-healthy-eating-cost-more

        A recent study found that following the MyPlate Dietary Guidelines would cost a family of four between $1,000-$1,200 a month ($12,000.00-$14,400 annually) depending on the age of the family members and the percentage of fruits and vegetables that were fresh, frozen, and canned (Mulik & Haynes-Maslow, 2017). For a comparison, the average middle income family in the United States spends roughly $6,224 on food each year with the average low income family spending even less at roughly $3,862 per year (USDA, 2017). With this information in mind, following these recommendations may not be feasible for the typical family.

        And just for good measure let's throw it back to you. I would love to see a source on how junk food is more expensive than vegetables in countries where obesity is an epidemic. That means no countries that actually tax processed foods to make the healthier option more affordable.

        Edit: and you think Im not going to go out and find the sources? Dumbass.

            No one is eating a banana as a main course. You are purposefully making false equivalences. Not to Mention the fact bananas are 54c per lb. You just took the lowest number you saw to get an "Own".

            Here's Ramen for 50 cents. Something that is eaten as an actual main course across hundreds of American colleges.

                or just drive instead, and bring as much luggage as you want. without paying extra. on your own schedule. and not inhaling 50-100 people and their kids' disgusting plague germs.

                    It's not about how much weight the plane carries so much as flight attendants doing overhead lifting and the risk of one falling out of the overhead locker. Source, I'm on the internet and you read it

                        We are talking about luggage weight. Pretty interesting how you ignore the rest of my post, it's pretty telling.

                                  Then how do you explain the 8kg weight limit for carry on? Who is endagered by 9kg luggage? And it's not even handled by the staff.

                                    the difference in price would be so small you wouldn't even care

                                    the price of your clothing is mostly supply chain "middle-men" taking their share, not the source material nor the people actuality bringing it to shape. especially with synthetic materials

                                    if it weren't true (i.e. if the material actually cost that much), stores wouldn't literally destroy / throw away brand new clothes just to "refresh" every couple of weeks

                                      Learning isn't stealing. Humans also learn by looking at different works. By "stealing," as you call it.

                                        I agree that it's not stealing. It's automated plagiarism.

                                          Learning isn't stealing. Humans also learn by looking at different works. By "stealing," as you call it.

                                          there's such a thing called "copyright", and using countless pieces of art for free so that a couple of douchebags become gazillionnaires selling copyright infringement on said pieces of art certainly feels like theft
