Somebody was paid money for this.

Somebody was paid cold hard cash money to come up with this idea.

Somebody was paid money to approve this.

Somebody was paid money to create and record this.

Somebody was paid money to write this ludicrous story.

Somebody was paid money to edit this ludicrous story.

And it's the poors and immigrants that are to blame for the failings of this country?

I mean, it could be interesting if they piped in ambient noise from outside the boarding area, etc, into the boarding area, particularly around the windows where you can see your plane and stuff.

Or like if there's an observation lounge watching take offs and things.

I assume that's not what they're talking about because no way an airport could be that cool, but details.

The best thing to pipe into an observation lounge is the tower/ground frequencies. Watching planes doesn't have to be a Disney experience with a soundtrack.
