That's why Mad Men, you know, look at all the dead airlines in Mad Men.
Yeah, and that's why you've gotten the degree of monopoly you already have in the airline industry is that these companies sort of bought up the carcasses and did all of these very monopolistic mergers.
Now you just have this thing where, yeah, flying absolutely sucks because it's all just...
these like, oh God, there's some economics term for it that I'm forgetting right now, but it's all of these sets of monopolies that have like divided up the country into their own basically personal fiefdoms.
And yeah, that sucks.
And it's why being on an airplane sucks shit.
And opposing monopolies is not the reason that we're here.
It's the main reason that we are here right now with Spirit Airlines dead is that the president of the United States unilaterally decided he was going to fight a war against Iran.
I guess technically bilaterally because BB decided.
too is really is but like you know the president united like the the the u.s is mad dictator decided to fight a war and that's why this airline is gone yeah but that's that's that's like the main thing that's why it's gone like now in this way yeah somebody needs to photoshop like spirit airlines in heaven with uh the ayatollah khomeini uh just like holding hands together
Two beautiful souls lost too early.
He's getting on one final flight.

The president's new ballroom, which has expended significant political capital from an assassination attempt to attempt to get built, is polling in terms of, quote, Americans who support or believe in new White House ballroom is polling at 28%, which is lower than the percentage of Americans who believe in ghosts and 1% lower than the percentage of Americans who believe in telepathy.
Americans love believing in ghosts.
We do love believing in ghosts.
Well, ghosting at 39% I was expecting.
