In Massachusetts and I assume elsewhere we have airfields maintained by municipalities and the feds that are used primarily for private aircraft.

Activists are looking to close them, it's very cool, focused stuff.

@CartyBoston That’s a great approach! Nowhere to land. Make them obsolete.

@StillIRise1963 step #1. Like the Nike ads: just do it.

Then make them pay their employees fairly. If they claim they're not employees (so the company doesn't have to pay employer things like soc.sec.), then remove any tax breaks and non-profit status for businesses larger than 100 employees.

Because I know the typical small business with 5-50 employees is still paying all kinds of local (real estate, school, etc) taxes and fees to their municipality+.
