Is this what they call law and order? Or is this simply related to “market failure”?
It’s part of their new special offer: United Superior Class.
Pretty sweet upgrade 
What brought about this case and who are to blame?
Should the so-called invisible hand has been used more harshly?

“Professor Rae introduces Adam Smith’s notion of the ‘invisible hand’ of the market. Several preconditions must be met for the invisible hand to work. Markets must be open, and there cannot be just one buyer or one seller who can control product prices. No producer can hold a pivotal private technology, and there must be more or less truthful information across the whole market. Governments must enforce property and contracts. However, many of these preconditions are at odds with the Porter Forces, which represent general rules of thumb, or principles, for a firm trying to make above average profits. These principles include avoiding direct competition, establishing high barriers to entry, and avoiding powerful buyers and powerful suppliers. Professor Rae suggests that submission to Adam Smith’s invisible hand may be contrary to basics of corporate strategy. Corporations can leverage powerful political influence to affect the movements of the ‘invisible hand.’ Guest speaker Jim Alexander, formerly of Enron, discusses problems of very imperfect information, as well as the principal-agent problem. Professor Rae also discusses Adam Smith’s complicated ideas about self-interest and morality.”
Just imagine if these airline-goons had picked this guy to be removed from the plane, and he turned out to be a certain Mr Lee from Hong Kong!
“On July 20, 1973, Bruce had a headache and was given a prescription for Equagesic. After taking it, he lapsed into a coma and could not be revived. A coroner’s inquest determined that he had a severe allergic reaction to one of the ingredients in the painkiller. This reaction caused an increase in the cerebrospinal fluid on the brain, and he died that same day at the age of 32.”

Be careful when you take painkillers.
Who is to blame?
His family was under some funny Chinese curse, wasn’t it? (That’s why his son also died young, during a freak on-set accident!)
I am impressed, you actually have a video that seriously talks about an issue.
It’s not my video.
You are such a warm and fuzzy person…
???
You are a native speaker of the English language, aren’t you?
Incidentally, you needed one more dot at the end of your sentence. But it is okay. Don’t think about it too much.

Can’t you see his username? He is from Taiwan.
“You are a native speaker of the English language, aren’t you?”
yup, and by your comments it is clear you are not.
Which comment?
Of course, I am not a native speaker of English, fortunately. I can enjoy learning English as a foreign language. How about you?

@jailscotate
It was my fault for complimenting his/her/its video. I should have known he/she/it was so dense he/she/it would assume the wrong definition of “have” and start to attack me. Then become a grammar Nazi.
So for all of this I am sorry YUTABY…
i luv gramer,"
