Now facebook, that is pure luxury that we can all do without. And don't get me started on air travel. Get out and walk. Take a train.
Facebook is trying to be a content platform for everything. If it had it's way, it would be YouTube++. To be locked out of YouTube these days would be pretty bad if you wanted to be a vlogger. And Air Travel is pretty critical for remote towns in America. Train isn't really competitive for cross america travel in terms of time even if we have to put up with all the security theater.
For the Sheldon out there: When you see someone equate two wildly different things, such as FLYING and WALKING, that is code for not literal and you should examine the wording in context. There is probably another meaning, one often opposite to that literally described by the text. And if you don't understand what I mean by "Sheldons" then I give up.
Wow, that was too much typing. It is almost like metaphor allow us to express complex ideas with far fewer words than literal description of the facts. I wonder if anyone else has discovered this trick?
You mention walking vs flying as an appeal to extremes, but you dropped in trains right after. That takes away from your point at the critical moment. And your Facebook as a luxury comparison just doesn't really get your point across. It's not like you told me to sell my children to fix my financial troubles.
