Uber for Helicopters
Air Bus • The New Yorker • 2015 Jun 1
Blade works like Uber. You download an app, and when you find yourself needing a chopper you press a button to launch a charter flight, splitting the fare with other passengers. The system has brought the cost of helicopter travel from around thirty-five hundred dollars—C.E.O. territory—to six hundred dollars for a one-way forty-minute trip to or from East Hampton.
I’m definitely not advocating for violence, but I can see how some people might resort to “Second Amendment remedies” because of constant helicopter traffic near their house.
