Once safe, why must we get back on airplanes for ‘economic patriotism.’
Rather than ‘touching glass’ all day to read about the devastation and financial toll of the coronavirus. Once it is safe to travel, getting back on airplanes and cruise ships is essential. To help the reeling nation recover by supporting the vulnerable travel industry and all its employees.
UPDATE | DIGITAL TRENDS: From 200,000 attendees to just one: Hereβs what Vegas looks like during CES 2021
I just read thatΒ American Airlines cuts 19,000 jobs when federal aid expires in October. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has triggered an unimaginable drop in air travel.
Lessons from a prior national calamity. Like every American, I am a native New Yorker who wanted to do something to support the City’s rebuilding after 9/11.
Along with my business partner, Carl Berman, we spent two months organizing a national campaign to get people to New York City for November 11, 2001, two months after the attacks. Our group was founded in Irvine, CA, and called: “EPICC: Economic Patriotism Irvine and Coast to Coast.”
There were risks for the unknown. Could there be another attack? Outside the New York Stock Exchange, there was actually a near threat from another attack.
As the nation and world are under a medical attack from the coronavirus, we are again faced with a challenge.
How Businesses Use Economic Activism and Social Media For Advocacy Projects
From airlines to cruise ships, we are all impacted. After all, public concerts, conventions, and large gatherings were canceled, the economy was hit hard. An example is January’s giant tech tradeshow, CES, which will be virtual this year. Think of the economic damage to exhibitors, the city of Las Vegas, and airlines?.
As an act of economic patriotism, we will be scheduling flights to cities most affected to support them and spend money once there is an all-clear to support communities. If you have the resources, please consider how you can also help.
