Shocking! Shocking, I Say!

 Shortly before Thanksgiving, transportation secretary Sean Duffy encouraged airline passengers to "dress with respect" during air travel.  From my perspective, this was a tone deaf recommendation, designed around the concept that if one is "properly dressed" they will behave in a manner consistent with their attire.  The ostensible goal was to bring back the golden age of travel, and to reduce the frequency of bad behavior by travelers.

Americans gave the most American response possible, with one subset of people maliciously complying by wearing prom and bridesmaid dresses, and another subset flat-out rejecting the call and showing up in pajamas.

My take?  I find it shocking!  Shocking, I say, that Americans would so quickly dismiss the sage guidance of our Executive Branch's personnel.
