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% isnโt a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Bidenโs 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 thatโs 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 womanโs moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ainโt 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%.
Thatโs reality. Not some BS number from a โstudy.โ
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. Thatโs what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spiritโs collapse is โa Biden win for flyers.โ
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And sheโs taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator whoโs 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 didnโt 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.
Any QB who rolls out and throws a pass into the middle of the field is making a risky decision. If you donโt understand that I donโt know what to tell you.
When I was a kid in the 80's and 90's, Miami vs Florida State was basically a National Championship elimination game in the regular season EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
It's really exciting to see both teams peaking at the same time to make this year's matchup special on Oct 4th
