	Privilege On The Hudson: First Class Gets Comfy Rafts,
	Peasant Class Forced Onto The Wings
	By Mark Ames

Has anyone noticed the ugly reality captured in the so-called “Miracle on the 
Hudson”? One of the first photos shows that first class passengers were offered 
first-class rafts to ensure that they’d survive in comfort, while the economy 
class passengers were forced out onto the metal wings to fend for themselves. 
Kinda sorta looks a lot like a metaphor for the financial crisis. “Miracle” our 
ass -– this is just flat reality in 21st century America.
