James - No sir, there is a near zero chance. The cost synergies, greater use of and capacity for fuel hedges, increased access to capital markets, lower cost of capital, plane resources, parts sourcing, labor structure, gate access, and management talent would have all created a fundamentally different airline. All there would be is a company whose employees were not out of a job, vendors who would be getting paid, and creditors not losing billions. This is a catastrophic failure of excessive state intervention and no spin will change that.

If JetBlue's acquisition of Spirit had been approved, there's a good chance JetBlue would now be headed into bankruptcy, too.

@Empty_America My plumber has a whole lot more than I have and I would say I’m solid middle class.

There is no more "working class" in the sense of a class of functional workers who accept earning far less than the middle class, and thus provide services that feel affordable to the middle class. Your plumber wants and will have all the same stuff that *you* have. Or More.

BREAKING - Outrage is erupting across Virginia after Abigail Spanberger signed HB965 into law, effectively rendering Virginians’ presidential votes null and void, with the measure handing the states electoral votes to the national popular vote winner regardless of states results.

@adamscrabble Me and the family went. There was no sex, cursing, violence, blood , gore, satanic themes or symbology. We were pleasantly surprised. We laughed several times and my daughter cried twice.

@AtomDogK9 @Cernovich It’s truly sickening to those of us who may be impacted. The sheer size of these buildings and the diesel generators that power them plus the incredible brightness of their security lighting….its all overwhelming. Frightening.

If they had been smarter about how they brought these data centers into areas and they truly were a net positive for the community they would have had counties fighting over who would get a data center. Instead, they are jacking up residents electric and water bills and destroying the local landscape thinking rural people won’t care or are dumb. The greed of SV is beyond belief.

Yes this is 2 or 3 years old. Things have only gotten worse in healthcare, housing and cost of living. But let’s spend another 200 billion on military or whatever black box project they are skimming money from. 40 billion to Argentina? No problem.

@pmarca The people that have had their neighborhoods irrevocably changed are speaking up. Videos of the light pollution in their backyards. The diesel engine noise can be heard inside their houses. It’s pretty sucky they are not putting them in industrial areas.

🙏 My wonderful friend, the host of splendid and well attended cigar nights, the father and husband to a beautiful happy family. 🙏 If I may share my thoughts, i believe them to be well founded. Should I be wrong in any point, trivial or consequential , i invite correection. use PL and as it so happens, I’m also an investor 📈 My take is: a. we know that there is Chinese sat imagery. This is undeniably true. But that doesn't mean the data is reliable. b. What is unknown is the AI enhancement, detection, tagging etc. “this is WHAT we are looking at” c. The output of the AI, in itself, is not ‘actionable’ - because just like LLM’s - these things hallucinate - and frequently misinterpret the data - it can, and does lie - AI creates artifacts and then the AI treats it as “true” Side note: this is one big reason why Hegseth and rank have referred to a “kill chain” that’s been taken out - because getting “information” is one thing, but acting on that information, or not, is something different - when the kill chain has been killed, what do you do? It’s a very big problem for Iran right now - They have no way of knowing if what China has given them is “true” and they no longer have that layer of war decision management to make a top level determination. d. No doubt Iran has used China imagery militarily - but also no doubt they are willing to kill by friendly fire very large amounts of their own vast expandable forces. - They have a very high pain tolerance for civilian casualties - if they are given a pizza pie it has the potential to be used militarily e. One very likely reason the Trump administration has closed up PL imagery is because China extensively relies on Western data and removing that imagery is one less crucial data point for them to draw on. Yup! They buy the data and then reprocess it - “attribution” f. The only way to determine if what China “has” is “true” is to do pixel by pixel forensics and cross reference with other data points: 1. known satellite ephemeris/ orbit paths/timing/etc 2. ground data, flight tracks and shipping etc of the type that is not in the public domain 3. visuals assessment from multiple angles AND, probably what's most important is Historical accuracy. In America the "experts" who inform top down decisions and pundits and 'news people who got a tip from a source' - don't get killed, nor do their families, when they're wrong, or have lied for political reasons, mischief, subterfuge, or financial gain. In China and Iran - those same people get killed, as will their families - and in the most inhumane ways conceivable. - It's shock and awe so that the others know not to "do what that guy did" g. China, like any other customer, buys Western sat imagery from PL, and then blends that product into its own clusters of data from its own indigenous military and commercial sat providers sell - then they add those same layers of AI etc that I've already discussed. h. Not all satellite imagery is the same. How can this be thought of? How can i judge a good Jitterbug dancer from a bad Jitterbug dancer if I don't know the dance and the rules of the contest? No doubt the simple photo data from Chinese satellites is reliable for the BROAD features. In my example the dancer is dancing - But the added AI tagging etc introduces uncertainty. In my example the person is making what appears to be wild motions. You have no idea if what you have seen the dancer perform is good, or not. You can't judge it. It is my experience that 'OSINT' is garbage and its a world of cut and paste. OSINT seems to derive from obscure'd source(s) of unknown provenance and then diffused out via social media thousands of times. Each paste'r adds a little here, subtracts a little there, adds, their own stylistics, and then posts, of fourse claiming authorship or attributing some part of their source info to another post'r doing the same copy and paste. i. The info from China must be treated as a “credible operational threat” to American forces - because if its not treated in this manner people may die, just as bomb threats are treated. This is a long response to a short question that i felt should be broken into bite-sizes. PL has been closed up because it is the right thing to do to keep our service members alive. China has, like with people dying on the streets of Wuhan, released videos, or directed others to release images and videos on its behalf, that must not be believed without critical analysis - and the tools of analysis and forensics, we, you and I and everybody else here, do not possess. Only a few people do, and they just rescued a service member deep in iran Should Trump and Hegseth release the actual coordinates of our service members in and around Iran to prove China sat imagery is lying? /end You are a wonderful person Mike, beautiful family and a happy life. Everything else, is just everything else. Your friend, Adam

Planet Labs is withholding satellite images at the request of the Trump administration. Other countries have real-time updates. American voters are being denied access to information that people in China have. Why?
