Fat People on Planes and First Class Supremacy

An extended bit about airline seating for larger passengers, a story about sitting next to two extremely large men, and a defense of first class as the last dignified luxury alongside hating rich families flying with kids.
- Planes should have way fewer seats, with each one designed for larger people.
- Tim acknowledges fat activism has gone too far, though he agrees people shouldn't be abused.
- In the 80s and 90s, fat women were treated differently, and some want to return to that out of cruelty.
- If airlines prioritized the fat consumer, everyone would have a better time with more space.
- First class is the only luxury Tim will never give up—it's just being treated like a human being.
- The horror of sitting in a middle seat when the plane is nearly full and someone rushes on at the last second.
- Tim sat in a row with two extremely large men in a premium cabin, and every passenger stared at them like zoo animals.
- When a fat guy sits next to him, Tim thinks the airline should intervene, and he'd become a Marxist over it.
- If a child is in first class, the airline should swap the fat passenger to the middle seat with the kid.
- Rich families in first class with children is almost despicable; Tim would keep kids in comfort plus as a reality check.
