I went to the mall for the first time in 2 years and couldn't believe how packed it was
Took me 45 mins to find parking
One out of every five people had a designer bag
Every store was full
Don't 50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck?
How can people afford to spend so much?

I've been a part of 3 different conversations where someone said "My $175 flight on Spirit is now $400 to replace"
No wonder Spirit went out of business? How were they offering $100 flights?

@LauraMiers Vast majority ? Would love to see any data that supports your wild assumption.

People don’t realize it, but the vast majority of Americans were just priced out of travel. That’s a wrap. It was fun while it lasted.

Wow!!! My family of 7 was supposed to fly on Spirit to Miami for $597.48 total. The @AmericanAir rescue fares are almost 10x that!!! @SecDuffy how is the average American family supposed to travel?#pricegouging

The joy of Disney as an adult is in sharing it with your kids. I make sure my kids understand this on our visits. They aren’t allowed to be trapped in perpetual adolescence as Disney adults.

These people badly need to get married, have kids, and then take their kids to Disney. This is what has gone wrong in the population, it's so stupidly simple we have collectively forgotten the meaning of life is to create more life, and that brings actual fulfillment

@TaraBull What are “things that didn’t happen?” for $500, Alex
English
@crusade_enjoyer Because Spirit’s business model was built around losing money!

If high oil and jet fuel prices were what bankrupted Spirit Airlines, then why are
Alaska, American Airlines, Frontier, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue just fine? That's right, Spirit Airlines sucked.
The market did its job.
Elizabeth Warren helped though.

Every time I go out to eat, the restaurant is empty. Even on Friday or Saturday, you can get a table with no wait. The economy is cooked.

@mirsblog @RichJWidmann Disney is for children. This speaks to adults refusing to grow up and taking what's meant for kids away. Would they still go if they weren't allowed to ride until every child in the line went first? No because they are selfish.

My wife and I just returned from Disney with 3 and 4 yr old kids. They loved it. But the interactions with “Disney adults” left us with the feeling that we’d pay even more money (I know it’s already crazy pricey) for days at Disney reserved for families with kids under 12.

Among my hottest takes are: - Disney adults (esp with no kids) are ruining it for families by inflating the cost of everything. - Disney adults should seek therapy to deal with childhood issues, not more trips to Disneyland. - Disney should not cater to Disney adults. It’s for families. It’s for the kids.

@mirsblog @RichJWidmann Says a douche who would lick Trump’s asshole if he asked him!

@RichJWidmann Disney Adults are the most pathetic crop of humans. Reeks of immaturity and incompetence.

Spirit airline shut down so now instead of $85 from Dallas to San Antonio I have to pay $282 omg?! It’s literally a ONE HOUR FLIGHT IN THE SAME STATE
English
I could fix Disney in 90 days.

Recently went to Disney with a double stroller. Tough to navigate crowds IMO Disney adults severely detract from the experience for kids Every scheduled parade in MK, character walking around, and line is overwhelmed by 30-45 year olds in $200 of Disney Swag blocking the view

My experience as well.
Weirdos.
Banning everyone over 15 without kids would greatly improve the parks but probably not the bottom line..

Had Spirit Airlines been allowed to merge with Jet Blue, it would have given them much more resiliency.
Thanks to @SenWarren, @PeteButtigieg, and all of their friends in the Biden Administration who backed their enthusiastic opposition to the Spirit-Jet Blue merger, dozens of regional airports will now lose service and thousands of jobs will now be lost.

@jojo789987 @AmericanAir @SecDuffy Welcome to paying regular airfare! There’s a reason Spirit went belly up!

My landlord raised my rent $340.
I asked why.
"Market rate adjustment."
I googled my landlord.
He owns 34 properties.
Manages them through 3 LLCs.
Lives in a $1.3 million house.
Has never fixed my heating properly.
My rent increase is his mortgage payment on preperty number 35.
I am not a tenant. I am a revenue stream who gets to sleep here.
