Aight, so check it. These short flights, the ones that get you from one small city to another, they disappearin'. Numbers don't lie: OAG says flights under 250 nautical miles down 11% since '16. Real talk, that's messed up.

And why? Cuz these airlines ain't about the people, they about the profit. Some dude at OAG said short flights cost too much. Man, everything costs too much now. Inflation hittin' hard, and these airlines ain't helpin'.

Then you got this whole situation with Iran messin' with the gas prices. Jet fuel sky high, and Spirit Airlines just shut down. Spirit was the plug for cheap flights, now folks gotta find another way to get around. It's a hustle out here.

This lady Faye Malarkey Black, CEO of some airline association, talkin' 'bout airlines gotta pack more people on fewer flights. That means more delays, more fees, and less legroom. They squeezin' us for every dime.

They say it's 'bout efficiency, but we know what it really is. Greed, pure and simple.

And these cities like Milwaukee and Chicago? They could take the train, but the train station ain't even at the airport! They makin' it hard on purpose. Gotta force you to fly so they can keep gettin' that paper.

This professor Joshua Schank sayin' it's 'bout density. Man, they packin' us in like sardines. They don't care 'bout our comfort or our convenience, just how much money they can make.

It's the same old story, man. Corporations lookin' out for themselves, and the little guy gettin' left behind. This whole system is rigged, I'm tellin' you.

So next time your flight gettin' cancelled or delayed, remember this: They don't care about you. You just a number to them. Gotta stay woke and look out for yourself.

They say it's 'bout the economy, but it's really 'bout power. They control the flights, they control the travel, they control the money. But we gotta fight back. We gotta find ways to support each other and build our own communities.

Short flights might be disappearin', but the struggle ain't over. Gotta keep pushin', keep hustlin', and keep fightin' for what's right. Know what I'm sayin'?

Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. Don't let these airlines play you. Stay informed, stay connected, and stay true to yourself. This ain't just about flights, it's about freedom. Keep it 100.

End of the day, they ain't gonna help us. We gotta help ourselves. It's on us to build a better future for our communities. One flight at a time, or one train ride, or one bus ticket, we gon' get there.
