LA City Council just told LAPD they can't pull anyone over anymore for expired tags, dead tail lights, cracked windshields, busted mirrors, illegal tint, loud exhaust, or missing plates. Why? Because out of 72,000 stops in three years, 86% were Black or Latino drivers. So if your car is busted, you're now invisible to the LAPD. Congratulations. This rule is intended to reduce discriminatory policing and build community trust.

I think it’s disgusting the United States charges $100 per person visiting our country to enter a National Park. Embarrassing too!

@KiaKnightly @NeedsCowbell @SecDuffy Spirit couldn’t hedge their fuel purchasing because they had no fluid cash, which is why they sought the buyout from JetBlue. They were selling a few airplanes a month just to service their debt. It was bad business. There’s a reason the big 4 arent really getting hurt by this

@JonesBarron @litcapital What does that have to do with anything? They’ve been liquidating assets since 2023 trying to stay afloat they haven’t been in a strong financial position in years and have been relying on a fountain of private capital just to service debts

@litcapital Spirit survived for 2 years after that tweet. It was only until The Art of The Deal showed up that it went out of business.

@Rothmus My grandfather was Leo Burnett, founder of the Leo Burnett advertising agency. I believe he was taxed at 90% and yet he thrived and so did the country.

This is the federal income tax play all over again. It started in 1913 as a “class tax” on the rich, hitting less than 1% of the population with a 1% rate above $3,000. It expanded during WWII into a mass tax on most workers through withholding, skyrocketing rates, base broadening, and bracket creep to fund wars and spending. The wealth tax will follow the same trajectory.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath

On page twenty-six of “The Billionaire Tax” proposal in California, it explains how the state legislature can convert from a Billionaire Tax to an Everyone Tax without voter approval. They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval. Intelligence test for you: if this was meant to just target Billionaires, why did they write this in?

@anishmoonka Delta also makes their own fuel to protect themselves from these exact situations

JetBlue hasn't made a profit in six years. Spirit is on its second bankruptcy in under 12 months. Delta made $5 billion last year. They fly the same kinds of planes to the same airports, but two of them are dying and one is having the best run of its 100-year history. In the last three months of 2025, Delta made more money from its premium seats than from its economy seats, for the first time ever. CEO Ed Bastian told investors that more than 95% of Delta's revenue now comes from households that earn more than $100,000 a year. Almost every new seat Delta adds in 2026 will be business class or first class, barely any economy at all. The airline market has split in two. Business travelers and wealthy vacationers will happily pay $1,200 for a seat that folds into a flat bed. Everyone else picks whichever ticket is $9 cheaper on Google Flights. The middle of the market has vanished, and JetBlue has been sitting right in the middle for years. About 60% of JetBlue's flying happens in New York and Florida, where it has to fight the big legacy airlines on one side and the dirt-cheap budget airlines on the other. JetBlue tried to be the nice middle option. Free wifi and decent legroom, plus seatback TVs that other airlines skip. It never built the luxury cabin revenue that Delta and United rely on. Its rewards program doesn't print money like Delta's American Express deal does. JetBlue owes about $9 billion and pays $600 million a year just in interest. It has lost money in most of the last six years. Spirit tried the exact opposite and still lost. A pure budget airline with yellow planes and tickets starting at $49. Then travelers changed their minds. They decided paying a bit more for a seat assignment and a checked bag was worth it. Spirit bolted on bigger seats and bundled fares. That only raised its costs without making Spirit feel fancy. Two bankruptcies later, the company had just $337 million in the bank at the end of last year. The Middle East fuel spike is speeding up a collapse that was already under way. Jet fuel went from an average of $2.49 a gallon in 2025 to $4.88 on April 2 of this year. That is a 95% jump in about five weeks, after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz shipping route at the end of February. JP Morgan estimates Spirit will lose 20 cents on every dollar if fuel stays at current levels. JetBlue will lose about $1.3 billion this year. Neither airline brings in enough rich-traveler money to cover that hole. If both shrink or disappear, the winners are already picked. Delta, United, and American will walk away with the empty gates and the open takeoff times. Your cheap flight out of Fort Lauderdale just becomes a more expensive flight out of Fort Lauderdale.

@wowzaship I agree that a doctor should be as seizure-free as possible to practice safely. However, no one intubates alone. If a seizure occurs, another would immediately take over. Trained nurses are present, and a competent nurse can intubate in an emergency to save a patient’s life.

What if the doctor intubating you starts seizing mid intubation after you’re already paralyzed and you end up with an extra minute of anoxia to the brain. Is that what happened to you guys over on this corner of pitt twit to make you like this

Trump’s deal with Iran is sounding pretty terrible. They get complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, all sanctions removed, keep their uranium, and keep their missiles? What the hell was the point of the war then????

@TurdsleytheIII @ChrisHejduk @SonsofBullarky @MAGA_Hoosier @harryjsisson Maersk is self insured and Marinair will just triple their rates stack cash that’s before a gulf country like Saudi Arabia offers to insure vessels because they need shipping. They spent 6 billion dollars on a golf league that could buy every ulcv in the world 3 times over.
