Fauxcahontas got her wish.
Elitist ghoul Elizabeth Warren has long held a grudge against people who earn their money. The multimillionaire senior senator from Massachusetts has a net worth of several million dollars but likes to pretend that she's down with the struggle like us regular folk.
Yeah... no.
Like all wealthy leftists, Warren has little care for those of us who work for a living. She also has a frothing hatred for corporations that earn money and provide jobs. This is from my HotAir colleague David Strom:
My wife and I were regular flyers on Spirit, and we actually found that it was not only much cheaper than the alternatives, but a better flying experience as well. (snip)
When Spirit quit serving the route we needed, we had to switch to the primary airline servicing Minneapolis, and the price per ticket almost doubled, and the seats were worse. It made us miserable. By every single measure, things got worse.
Spirit didn't die because it could not have survived. It died because the Biden administration and Elizabeth Warren killed it.
Just like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did when she killed an Amazon project in New York City, Warren celebrated her efforts that would eventually lead to the loss of tens of thousands of jobs.They say they're champions of working Americans, but they really don't care if we're starving or not.
Fauxcahontas is ensconced in a blue state Ivory Tower that shields her from the real world. Almost 20,000 people being suddenly out of work won't interrupt any of her fancy weekday luncheons. She is a classic example of communist elites.
The "have nots" will forever have nothing in Elizabeth Warren's world.

Word on the street is that most of the 17K will have jobs with other airlines by tomorrow morning.
Commie dreams? Or insider trading?
Did she ever pay back the Indians for taking their AA slot at Haarvaad?
You just know if a Republican did that the left would search to the ends of the earth to find that person.
Chief Gray Beaver just cut down the banana tree.
The airline pilot's unions have seniority rules, so a bunch of the Spirit captains may end up as FOs. Beats missing a paycheck..
Good for her staying true to her beliefs.
Spirit operated like a Soviet airline. 😷Its customer service operated like a bread line.
Its awful business culture and ethos brought the quality of American flight down across the board.
Fauxcahontas squaw speak with forked buffalo tongue.
Then I'm in the awkward position of praising Elizabeth Warren.
If they get me from point A to point B, they are doing their job.
If they did so for a reasonable cost, bonus.
If I want to watch a movie, I can do that at home or at a movie house.
If I want to be fed, I can do that at home or at a restaurant.
My point is, airlines are in the business of passenger transport. If you want to pay for a lot of extras, that’s up to you, but there should be an option for where I simply board, sit for a while and deplane at my destination with no concern for anything else.
Tax Rich Soros
Got stuck with them on the cusp of a hurricane emergency and they revealed the core of who they were then. No other airline behaved the way they did. 😖
Elizabeth Warren used to be an intelligent and decent Harvard Law School professor.
Since she became a Senator, she’s become dumber and nastier every year!
Word on the street says no such thing.
With skyrocketing jet fuel costs airlines are cutting routes and certainly not hiring..
Democrat Marxists like Little White Dove Warren are really leaning into class envy and promoting class warfare. It’s odd when so many CEOs are lefties. That rat Larry Fink at Black Rock is a big one.
People like her with zero knowledge or experience regarding private enterprise and the business world should have no standing to rule on such matters. She just axed 17K jobs because of what? She didn’t get a nice bribe; her feelings were hurt; she had a bad day?
