Airline ticket prices are interesting. I am surprised there are not more price controls in situations like this. Why is it Govt Business? Because landing fees totally fund FAA related huge grants for Airports. Essentially it is a tax on "users" and it totally enables Airlines to have such airports. When a member of Congress gets on tv and announces a 50-200, whatever million dollar Federal grant to an Airport expansion it is 100% landing "taxes"

Regarding Little Marco:

“He’s supposed to be one of the most responsible ones.”

Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, and Thom Tillis - the GOP’s “responsible ones.”

Wasnt he president for Michael, too? Cat 5 hit Florida

Yes. 2018.

First Cat. 5 to hit the mainland US after September. One of the 5 most powerful storms to hit the US in recorded history.

As batshit as some of the lies Trump’s promoting, there is way crazier shit being pumped out from the (blue check) fringe — this one with nearly 75,000 followers

I’m so XShitter illiterate that I had to Google around and figure out what “(blue check) fringe” is.

Seems like an obvious bot account.

One of the things that really damaged McCrory before his first run for governor was that when he was mayor of CLT we had a major gas shortage and gouging event related to a hurricane in the gulf — which was entirely localized to Charlotte. He was totally absent/ineffective.

Not sure how well folks understand airline seat pricing. As planes fill up the remaining seats get really expensive. Just because the last seat on the plane sold for $2000 doesn't mean all the seats sold for $2000.

This is not price gouging, it's the airline's everyday business model, and precisely what happens when demand for seats goes up and planes start filling up.

This MF’s longtime Foghorn Leghorn schtick seems to be concealing real mental decline these days. He didn’t used to be (seem) dumb.

Always get a good chuckle when I’m reminded that Kennedy was as Rhodes scholar. What a charlatan.

Might be time to look into airline competition. Just a hunch.

This goes without saying but this kind of dangerous rhetoric is going to actually get someone killed.

Even in this debunking post, he claims that Mayorkas made an “irresponsible” statement about FEMA needing more funding was politicizing tragedy for “personal gain” which is nonsense. What personal gain????
