Today’s Snark Factor 3 in 3 is about the modern American squeeze.
TSA agents are stuck in the middle of the Homeland Security funding mess, with airport delays growing while Washington keeps doing Washington things. Netflix is raising prices again, because apparently staying home comfortably now requires a premium tier. And United is rolling out “Relax Row,” which is just a very elegant way of saying they’d like to charge extra for letting you lie down in coach.
