William J. McGee on The Failure of Airline Deregulation

Proponents of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 often point to the relatively low prices in the industry today as proof that deregulation was a success. But this week‘s guest on Sea Change Radio, Bill McGee believes that the connection is specious at best, and that advocates are making the mistake of confusing cause and effect. McGee, a consumer advocate in the aviation sector and a senior fellow at the American Economic Liberties Project, shares his perspective about the long-term problems created by airline deregulation, explains why it often gets credited for saving the industry when it shouldn’t, and looks at how sustainability is not a big enough factor in the way that airline prices are determined.

TWIP-250713

Boycotting Israel is more than a consumer choice, it’s a moral stance, a global act of resistance, and a deeply personal message to Palestinians that their lives, dignity, and struggle matter. It is a rejection of complicity in a system that has, for decades, denied Palestinians their basic rights through military occupation, apartheid policies, and economic exploitation. By refusing to support companies and institutions that profit from or enable these injustices, individuals around the world are saying: We will not be silent. We will not be complicit. This form of nonviolent resistance draws inspiration from historic movements like the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa and the civil rights movement in the United States. It challenges the normalization of oppression by disrupting the flow of money, reputation, and legitimacy to those who uphold it. Whether it’s refusing to buy products from companies like HP, McDonald’s, or Starbucks, whose ties to Israeli military operations or settlement expansion have been documented, or advocating for divestment from arms manufacturers like Elbit Systems, every act of boycott chips away at the infrastructure of impunity. To Palestinians, these actions are not abstract. They are felt. They are seen. They are heard. In refugee camps, in besieged Gaza, in occupied East Jerusalem, and across the diaspora, the message resonates: You are not alone. Every boycott is a declaration that the world is watching that the world cares, and that the world is willing to act. It’s a way of amplifying Palestinian voices that are too often silenced, of honoring their resilience, and of refusing to let their suffering be reduced to statistics or headlines. Boycotting also serves as a tool for education and mobilization. It invites people to ask questions: Why are these companies being targeted? What is happening in Palestine? How are our governments and institutions complicit? It opens space for dialogue, for solidarity across movements, and for building coalitions that connect Palestinian liberation to broader struggles for racial, economic, and environmental justice. In a world where corporations and governments often prioritize profit over people, boycotting is a way to reclaim agency. It’s a reminder that our choices matter, that what we buy, where we invest, and who we support can either uphold injustice or challenge it. It’s not about perfection; it’s about intention. It’s about aligning our values with our actions and refusing to be passive in the face of genocide, apartheid, and displacement. Ultimately, boycotting Israel is a call to conscience. It’s a refusal to accept the status quo. It’s a demand for accountability. And most importantly, it’s a gesture of love and solidarity, a way of saying to Palestinians: We see you. We hear you. We stand with you.
