    I said that regulation results in a bureaucratic hierarchy, pre-neo-liberalist, and you turn it upside down and say regulation shields us from hegemony. Yet haven’t suffered from bureaucratic hegemony for 20 years, because neoliberalism took over during Reagan and Thatcher. Your definition of regulation against bureaucracy is false, regulation in the form of Obama seems to be bureaucratic hegemony. That also fits to the end of budget airlines, so stop contradicting yourself

    The picture of the picture of baracks ending of the neoliberalist economic policies that would fit into the bureaucratic corporatism with its monopolies.

    I have a feeling that Air Asia and other budget airlines will go bust within 3 years, which is by the time the world economy recovers.

    If you are planning to start a budget airline company, well, good luck, but I strongly believe you will go bankrupt like when you lose all the money in a game called Monopoly.
