So I know the enshittification of British Airways is well known but a few tips for them if they want to improve: 1. Cancelling a flight and rebooking on the next available flight should not mean being rebooked on the one three hours before your cancelled flight.

if you can't afford clothes, it's not clothing poverty, it's poverty. If you can't afford sanitary protection, it's not period poverty, it's poverty. Divvying up poverty into little bits hides the fact that poverty is poverty and gives right-wingers an in to say "poor people need to budget better."
