Matt Walsh's "eulogy" for Spirit Airlines.
AHHHH, the romance of air travel

PFFFFFT!! Everyone and their brother has iPhones and Androids Not to mention cameras all over the terminals. Yet it never ceases to amaze me how in spite of all this surveillance there's more "ratchet" and "Karen" airport freakouts and meltdown vids on YouTube than you can watch in a lifetime. You'd think with all this surveillance people would be more inclined to behave themselves but, NOPE!!!🤦♂️😖🤬🤬 I can imagine Jasmine Crockett would be right at home involved in one of those "donnybrooks"
