And Washington is already trying to blame everyone else. In this Good Morning Liberty breakdown, Nate and Chuck look at the collapse of Spirit Airlines, the blocked JetBlue merger, Elizabeth Warren's \"Biden win for flyers,\" Robert Reich's airline consolidation argument, and the government's very normal habit of breaking things in the name of helping consumers. Was it fuel prices? Was it the Biden DOJ blocking the JetBlue Spirit merger? Was it bad business? The answer from GML: there is blame to go around, but the deeper problem is politicians and regulators having the power to jack with markets in the first place. Spirit Airlines, JetBlue, airline antitrust, Elizabeth Warren, Robert Reich, airline consolidation, consumer prices, and the myth of government-managed competition all collide in this one.
