I do not want to bail out the airlines. Again.

oeishik.bsky.social•13 days ago

Save up for boats, everybody. I mean, with global warming, we'll be flooded in half the places anyway.

Thank you!

Trump slapped a 25% tariff on aluminum. That will make airplane more expensive. Not good for airlines and their business. Prices of tickets set to rise.

Oh this is definitely going to work out for them 😂. I miss Pete Buttigieg he was damn good at that job.

swee24.bsky.social•13 days ago

Uncharted territory w the sabotage from Trump to the economy. People aren’t spending money and no doubt travel is down. On top of lack of confidence in air travel w
all the crashes. Trying to prop things up this time has some
Unprecedented factors.

But but but now they got a reality TV drunken loser

roachmotel6.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep I think I watched that season. That show was good at first then it just became trash.

shadrachnorth.bsky.social•13 days ago

We're not ursurping freedom of movement, we're just making conditions such that you're more likely to stay put.

lauralydel.bsky.social•13 days ago

It's not safe to fly anymore.

"look all I'm saying is that there are major negative consequences to our actions, but we're not going to do anything to reverse course"

Asshole

The obvious next step in crashing the world’s strongest economy.

Don’t forget the hotels @hilton and @marriott

Secretary Pete was a rockstar in this role Duffy is a POS

heatherthomasaf.bsky.social•13 days ago

This the Yarvinverse. They don't care and want to crash the economy.

I want dibs on the Statue of Liberty!

larkin8.bsky.social•13 days ago

He must have information that is not publicly available about how bad the situation has become.

Couple that with the DOGE-engineered chaos at FAA and Musk making changes to FAA software that he knows absolutely nothing about and count me out.

Not flying under any circumstances.

sandikelly.bsky.social•13 days ago

Of course he did - weird how all of a sudden after Jan 20th it’s suddenly a disaster, and I’m sure they just happen to have the perfect solution .

kitty-ama9.bsky.social•13 days ago

Oops. There goes the markets. " did I do that?"

odoyle62.bsky.social•13 days ago

and just when inflation-weary Americans were so broke they were living airport to airport

judinthepines.bsky.social•13 days ago

Hmmm…bet the airlines and vacation states love that!

dmc73.bsky.social•13 days ago

It is going to be pretty amazing watching airlines go from record travel to low travel in the span of a year.

wordlydiscourse.bsky.social•13 days ago

When are CEOs going to step up and demand that Elon step down?

curtismilam.bsky.social•13 days ago

A running list of parts of the economy Trump/Musk will kill:

- agriculture (tariffs)
- science (R&D)
- construction (timber/tariffs)
- tourism
- education
- pharma (R&D)
- energy (tariffs / investment)
- autos (tariffs)

what areas am I missing?

NB: A severe recession is baked in at this point

thoang1971.bsky.social•13 days ago

Did every secretary of this administration get a memo informing them to tank the economy?

lanarmoss1019.bsky.social•13 days ago

Duffy isn't qualified to wash my feet

peterrb1961.bsky.social•13 days ago

Airlines are joining the fastest growing group in America - those worried the future looks nothing like what they imagined three months ago.

dengelbr.bsky.social•13 days ago

Knowing that Trump is a professional, he will wreck all kinds of businesses, not only airlines. Again, he is a true professional bankrupt and this time he surrounded himself with other professional destroyers and they will ensure that no stone is left unturned. Total destruction!

Imbeciles

bkelsey91.bsky.social•13 days ago

Oh wow. Guess I should cancel that Delta flight

mark-darson.bsky.social•13 days ago

Visitors from other countries rapidly cancelling visits to the US. It's going to hit airlines and the tourism industry hard.

wordlydiscourse.bsky.social•13 days ago

I really have no desire to fly. It doesn't seem safe anymore. Keeping wondering when CEOs will demand that Elon step down.

cdrjames.bsky.social•13 days ago

They all voted for him. Willing to sell their souls and the safety of air travel for removal of regulations that would lead to bigger profits for them and their hedge funds investors. Let them sweat it out

frittitailchaser.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is purposeful. They don't want Americans leaving. They want us afraid to travel anywhere across the United states, say to Washington dc.

They want us to stay put and be afraid.

ratskradmt.bsky.social•13 days ago

Since they all seem to hate America and Americans why the fuck do they not choose to leave. All the present administration does is whine and complain about everything all the time. Now we get Fuckface Von Clownstick fucking it all up. My retirement accounts are down +10% this month. Ya good times…..

socaldude11.bsky.social•13 days ago

Count me in as a consumer whose spending is going way down

lemonsourest.bsky.social•13 days ago

Start making people fearful of flying, offer a solution (privatize transportation department), problem magically disappears.

Flying is not safe because of all the cuts that affect safety and chaos - all self inflicted with the end goal of privatization

noblewatchman.bsky.social•13 days ago

The ghost of Grover Norquist. Starve the beast ( the agency), it fails, shut it down or privatize it.
This has been simmering since 80s.
This ain’t new. None of this is a surprise.
