If Spirit's shutdown affected your travel plans, we're here to help. We're offering reduced, nonrefundable rescue fares for the next five days across domestic routes (nonstop and one-stop via our hubs) and routes between the U.S. & Latin America. Learn more: dl.aero/6010vJskE

@ClistonBrown So explain to me why the Dems never instituted the 'six years and you're out' rule for committee chairs that the GOP put in place back in the 1990s?
Oh right, they Dems didn't because that would have upset the congressional black caucus.
English
The Democratic Party has ossified. By allowing people to stay in positions of power into their 80s and 90s, the party has not only failed to develop younger leaders, but it has ensured that young people have had nowhere else to go but the loony far left. This has been disastrous.
Amanda Litman@amandalitman
If Democratic House members allow this to happen, the likely effect will be a majority that will not do what they’ve been elected to do — this is a generation of leaders who (by and large) are not willing to do things differently.

@charlescwcooke Shhh, it will keep the rabble out of the airports.
English
Utterly extraordinary. Arsonist and firefighter.
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
The Big Four airlines (American, Delta, Southwest, United) control 75% of the U.S. market. Fewer choices = higher prices for you.
English
@TrustlessState Meh, I would just compare the value of $1 today vs say, in 1973. That would explain a lot of that growth.
English
Doesn’t the S&P always look like this?
The stock market has been in a parabola ever since the 1930. I thought that was the point
Why is now any different?
Peter Grandich@PeterGrandich
We are now in the parabolic, melt-up phase. Where and when it peaks is anyone's guess. It's also the exit phase, not enter. Just remember, it's better to be a year too early, than a day too late.
English
@Georgesantos Agreed. I still think the tan suit is better than the brown suits Reagan used to rock fairly frequently.
English
I never understood the outrage of this suit… don’t like him, never voted for him. The man looks good in a tan suit… so why all the hysteria?
Redd@ReddCinema
Barack Obama wearing a tan suit 🔥👀 (August 28, 2014)

@WallStreetMav You love to see it! I'll wave to everyone down below from my Delta flight.
English
The bus people are rapidly running out of travel options. They are down to just Carnival Cruises and Frontier Airlines now.
The discount airline had about 5% market share in 2025.
English
@DudeWhoInvests Okay, so tell me where to put $10,000 today....
English
If you invested $10,000 in SanDisk $SNDK exactly 1 year ago you would have $335,058 TODAY.
Damn…
English
@indexnforgetit Been saying the same. This post WWII prosperity '46-'73, which is running on fumes now, is a complete anomaly! We are regressing to the mean in the USA, that is, prior to 1946 most people lived in poverty.
English
Honestly most of the population today has no idea what their great grandparents went through
Stories need passed down more before they’re forgotten
Orthodoxy Above The Clouds@noetic_healing
Yall crying on Tik Tok you can’t afford your grub hub and iPhone and don’t realize people in America used to live like this and they built this country.
English
@DanRidesPA @WallStreetMav Bingo. The airline business cannot support 'discount' airlines. Too many high fixed costs. Even American Airlines is running negative. United has a barely positive net margin. And Delta is only doing well due to its credit card business.
English
Commercial aviation has a built in bottom line.
The aircraft must fly safely and meet a myriad of requirements with crews who have to meet certain standards, flying to-from approved airports with certain facilities.
The grift has been to establish a “low cost” airline, hemorrhage money, then demand government subsidies to provide continued service to underserved communities.
English
The big question is not Spirit Airlines shutting down.
The concern we all have is ... which airline do their customers start flying on next.
English
@StumblingOaf @WallStreetMav That's the plan, and it will work.
English
@WallStreetMav Crime and maintenance needs dropped precipitously on BART after enforcing fare requirements.
Airfare on Spirit was so cheap it was effectively free.
Maybe the violence will be kept out of the sky simply by slightly higher costs.
English
@latayprime @WallStreetMav The vast majority of fliers are price conscious. The fliers you're describing are VERY price conscious, and will not be paying $500 to fly to Las Vegas on Delta.
English
Everyone worrying which airline ‘certain people’ will be using as an alternative should have tried to help keep Spirit around. For all their problems, they did cater to a community of people most posters here want nothing to do with.
But you you’re about to deal with them — A LOT.
English
@WallStreetMav They don't. The others are too expensive for them, so they will be back on Greyhound™ where they belong.
English
@JATompkins Meh, it's still a rust-belt, midwestern city. Certainly pockets of it are great, and they really have cleaned up downtown since the 1980s/90s.
English
@YIMBYLAND Pity we never came up with some type of 'work from home a few days per week' type of paradigm.
Whoops! We actually did, then blew it up.
English
Suburban sprawl absolutely helps keep home prices down…
but those savings come at a cost.

@nickgillespie Small cars were dead before the tariffs. The market had spoken.
You realize Ford stopped making sedans several years ago.
English
'the inexpensive car is already dead in the U.S., as there are only four cars available in the U.S. for under $25,000 right now, and three of them will potentially be pulled from the market by year's end.' Tariffs play a role, and it's a bad one.

@Barrowwight @mattyglesias Some people see Clinton's policy achievements as detrimental to the populace at large: welfare reform, 1994 crime bill, QHWRA bill of 1998, financial modernization act of 1999. These bills have all been noted to have ripple effects we are still feeling.
English
@mattyglesias It’s *wild* that people grade Dubya higher than Clinton.
English
The actual derangement is the people who don’t realize Obama is broadly popular, well-liked, and remembered fondly and was extremely popular on the day he left office as well.
Not a perfect president or a flawless administration but better than all the other ones.
English
@TheBTCTherapist Oil is a commodity, like corn and soybeans. Therefore, it has a world market price, which will dictate what you pay at the pump.
English
Why is the U.S. exporting record levels of oil if I’m still paying 50% more at the pumps?
Make it make sense.
Hedgeye@Hedgeye
🇺🇸 U.S. oil exports hit a record 6.4 million barrels per day

@MattWallace888 I'll say I'll do better next quarter, but she'll still make me eat her azz.
English
She calls you into her office and says you are underperforming this quarter! What is your next move?
English
@LisaBritton I mean, men used to be just as bad. I would say nowadays it's worse with women, as evidenced by this, and all the female school teachers raping boys.
English
A JPMorgan executive allegedly used her power to sexually harass and abuse a junior male employee—drugging him, subjecting him to racial abuse and threatening his career.
The more we see women in positions of power, the more we’ll see women corrupted by power. Thoughts?
