You enable this by continuing to use them as your employer or as a passenger. I wish people had even a bit of restraint.

This should be handled politically. Not through individual choice, that pretty much never works.

Yes, but... Why would a politician bother to act when it appears to them that the public are all cool with the situation?

True, but it's obvious our political system is profit driven. If people had restraint, this wouldn't be a problem to begin with.
