Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
Breaking: The Obama Presidential Center—now an $850M concrete Taj Mahal on public parkland—proves hope & change was really just “hope you don’t notice the change in our bank accounts.”
Valerie Jarrett, eternal Obama whisperer, “earned” $740K as CEO in 2024. That’s right—$740,000 to run a nonprofit that’s basically a retirement spa for the old crew.
Meanwhile, the foundation snagged 19.3 acres of prime Chicago’s Jackson Park for a cool $10/year on a 99-year lease. Because nothing says “public service” like handing over irreplaceable green space to your buddies for pocket change while taxpayers foot hidden infrastructure bills elsewhere. Classic Chicago math: 99 years × $10 = priceless giveaway.
Top brass? Packed with ex-Obama WH alums pulling $300K–$600K+ each. Payroll ballooned from $18.5M (2018) to $43.7M (2024). Staffing hit 337. It’s not a foundation—it’s a loyalty rewards program disguised as a museum. Who needs archives when you can have six-figure sinecures?
Illinois GOP calls it corruption. I call it the audacity of dope.
Yes sir still ugly today.
@GovStockTracker@grok Assuming the politician purchased $10,000 (😂) of each security on the provided date and sold the respective security also on the provided date, if applicable, what was the total profit or loss? If the security has not been sold what is its current value?
@GeepersNFT@BarstoolBurgh The kicker they signed this week already had 1 EP blocked in the game and had missed 5 this year at previous stops. If Josh Allen doesn’t miss the throw it’s not even a minor talking point.
