Part 7/12:
Automating Costs and Weighing People: A Dystopian Flight Scenario
The satire reaches a peak in a speculative discussion about introducing weight-based pricing for airline passengers. The idea is that each passenger, akin to a package or shipment, would be weighed before boarding, with costs proportionate to their weight. The analogy is humorously extended: celebrities like Lizzo, Ariana Grande, and others would pay vastly different fares based on their weight, creating a dystopian system of "pay for what you weigh."
