@MrShermichael@John_G_IA@midpushMike So large percentage of employees gone and no more low fare Spirit prices once the merger was complete? Doesn’t sound much better. Only difference is the pilots, mechanics, dispatchers that would have been JetBlue employees will now be swallowed up by the whole industry.
@MCCCANM@crampell It’s really not that “weird.” They declared bankruptcy twice the last 18 months and were clearly cash strapped. Operating on thin margins, they needed fuel to remain cheap to have any chance of extended survival. The other airlines have passed the fuel increases on to consumers
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze Nazi? You’ve got the wrong Party bud. Nazis are overwhelmingly conservative. This is why he had no idea what it symbolized -He’s been very progressive for a long time. Also -I don’t belong to a political party. Right now MAGA needs to be held in check so Dems are the lesser evil
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze Did he talk about his tattoo in that Reddit post? You’re trying to connect dots that aren’t there. You can go ahead and assume what you want to believe- that’s fine - but you have nothing concrete to support your claims.
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze So again - no reference to tattoo in Reddit posts. No on the record interviews to confirm your theory of years. So it’s August vs October. The guy clearly has strong progressive beliefs- but has somehow been a closet nazi? Lol. Keep trying bud.
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze The only person that has gone on the record is his former campaign manager. So she’s saying he knew in August- he says October. Not sure if a couple of months really makes a difference when your claim is years - which once again no one on the record has confirmed.
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze Ya according to Platner he didn’t learn the meaning of the tattoo until Oct of 2025. There’s been no on the record source that has disputed that… sooo
@bonchieredstate@tebsf A couple of months before the war they brought back a bunch of people they had furloughed believing they had turned a corner. Not saying they wouldn’t have just died a slower death, but the higher fuel prices were the nail in the coffin.
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze Yes he said he knows now. He said he didn’t know when he got it - and like a large majority of adults in this country I that’s probably true.
@bee1861@Jeff_mortensen@bonchieredstate I’m not sure what you’re trying to say there… but look - I think it’s likely he didn’t know what it meant when he got it. At some point he learned- whether it was 10 yrs ago or 6 months ago. He’s apologized and had it covered. People of Maine will judge him for who he is today
@DancinRoundWolf@RHPD8645@craigiskowitz@redsteeze You could throw a thousand still pics up like these and none would have the effect of Elon’s video that shows his actual arm movement doing what looks very similar to a Nazi salute. Trying to compare stills of a hand wave to that is disingenuous.
@sweenprs@JaneDoefetp@TheMaineWonk@redsteeze Ya that’s not true. Probably 95% of the adult population knows what the swastika represents. The opposite is true with Platner’s tattoo - probably less than 5% know what it represents. He probably had no idea.
