Music Hey, guys, welcome back to the podcast. It's me and Zach taking your questions.

But first, going to talk about some of the things that are on everyone's mind, including the discourse around AI and jobs, which I've been enjoying, sort of.

And then like a quick note on Spirit Airlines, which I'm going to miss.

Did you ride Spirit? I did.

Same. Sort of regretted it, but it was priced well. Multiple times. I mean, there were a bunch

of times on the campaign where it was the only way to get from point A to point B in the timeline.

And like no frills, definitely discounty, but you know, got the job done yeah and objectively this is bad

for consumers it's bad for workers it's bad for people that like cheap air travel yeah it makes

me sad that spirit is gone i remember so like most people buy their airlines or their tickets as

like in aggregators you know you look up on google flights or kayak or one of those. Yeah. So if you didn't, I remember the first time I was like, Spirit looks so cheap. I'm going to do Spirit, not knowing enough about their brand, if you will. And so then then you're disappointed where you get there. You're like, wait, it costs me what to put my bag on this plane or it costs me what to get a water. They do upcharge you a lot. Et cetera. It was their point. Bring a bag. But if your expectation was, I want to get there as cheaply as possible, it was a great offer. Yeah. And it's a bad thing for the industry. You know, there was a point when it looked like they might merge with JetBlue.

JetBlue offered them and the Fed's put the kibosh on it.

Liz Warren and the Biden administration were very anti.

I don't know, but some people say they'd still be bankrupt now because of fuel prices.

I'm not sure.

I don't know enough of it.

I think objectively blocking that merger was a mistake.

I think so too.
