Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:
- On Monday, President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a proposal that would mandate airlines compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights—the compensation could include hotels, meals, and/or travel vouchers.
- While announcing his administration’s new policy proposal forcing airlines to compensate passengers for missed or cancelled flight, Biden blamed airlines for individuals being unable to spend time with their families over the holiday season. The Daily Wire’s Ben Zeisloft notes, airlines “experienced holiday travel disruptions last year due to extreme winter weather conditions, staff shortages, and an outdated computer system.” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/airlines-may-soon-be-on-the-hook-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights-transportation-dept-says
- Guy Ciarrocchi—Real Clear Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial, “The Suburbs Are Pulling Us Apart.” Ciarrocchi writes. “Somewhere, over the last generation, the suburbs had become ground zero for every societal, cultural – and, ultimately, every political – problem in Pennsylvania and in our nation. Think of the battles of just the last few years. The biggest fights over Covid mandates took place in the suburbs – not in rural Pennsylvania, where most people went about their business. Not in Philadelphia, where many could walk to stores or order takeout or delivery, as they did frequently even before the lockdowns.” You can read the Ciarrocchi’s full article here: https://www.realclearpennsylvania.com/articles/2023/05/01/the_suburbs_are_pulling_us_apart_896859.html
