>>65104538Quite possibly the most retarded headline I've ever read. wtf is going to happen to 130 737s whos gear rotation is already up?
The nationalizing Spirit is just so fitting, it's the perfect airline to be state owned by the US.They should do Carnival cruises next
>>65104548>nationalizingI'm sorry, but I thought the dems were supposed to be the fucking communists.
>>65104538Air America 2: Electric Boogaloo
>>65104548>Carnival cruises nextYou kids forget Club Fed. There is precedent.
>>65104538Yeah because apparently the largest airborne logistics fleet in the world isn't big enough.
>>65104545>Quite possibly the most retarded headline I've ever readyou now remember the time a bong tabloid thought gun calibre meant gun length
>>65104538>considerspulls a hell of a lot of work in tabloid reporting>General Public: Should we take over this airline? Are any of its jets in usable condition?>Major-General Model: No sir.>General Public: Right, then we won't bother. Next item on the agenda?>Defence correspondent: US CONSIDERS TAKING OVER BANKRUPT SPIRIT AIRLINES AND USING ITS FLEET FOR MILITARY MISSIONSfor all of five seconds and then rejected the idea, yeah
>>65104538discount 1 way tickets to Africa, or just throw the passengers out over the ocean
>>65104581>r just throw the passengers out over the oceandon't forget to shoot them first
>>65104590That's not dramatic enough.
>>65104574caliber does mean length on naval guns. their error was thinking that 5" was the bore diameter
>>65104591>Perhaps he was wondering why you would you threaten to shoot a man after tossing him out of an airplane.
>>65104594disregard my post, I suck cocks and am drunk. you know what I meant, etc.
>>65104596I was just about to hit "post"cheers and have a fun night
>>65104594>caliber does mean lengthWhile a gun's length is measured in calibers, that's just a proportional measurement using multiples of the gun's caliber, meaning bore diameter.
>>65104553how does it feel, going through life only seeing things in binary state?
>>65104603Sorry, anon, but would you suck a cock just to try it? I mean, that only makes you a cocksucker if you see shit in a binary state.
>>65104606that hypothetical doesn't work even if you view the world on a spectrum: I would not suck a cock just to try it, because I do not want to have been a cocksucker, even if it meant that I would not be a cocksucker henceforth
>>65104553Cry more. The state should have a stake in vital assets like civilian air transport
>>65104574I'd blow a lot for than that for 5 inches
>>65104639>I would not suck a cock just to try it, because I do not want to have been a cocksucker, even if it meant that I would not be a cocksucker henceforthSo you could be a commie sometimes, just not a communist henceforth? >>65104642I think companies should be free to succeed or fail. We don't need the government getting involved.
>>65104645The USG bought GM and kept it alive. This isn't much different, as air travel is even more of a volatile business than auto manufacturing. Air travel isn't really the optional luxury it was decades ago, it is perfectly reasonable for the state to own and operate a portion of it, even if only in crisis.
its it moral that the military uses civil planes/fligth?
>>65104654>The USG bought GM and kept it aliveAnd it shouldn't have, even if I can understand the argument that they were protecting a large sector of the economy. I still think GM would have been better dismantled and sold off. Spirit airlines is nowhere near as large of an employer. >Air travel isn't really the optional luxury it was decades ago, it is perfectly reasonable for the state to own and operate a portion of it, even if only in crisis.We have plenty of airlines that aren't in danger of failing. There's no need for it, even if you believe the arguments about GM, which you really shouldn't.

>>65104553republicans are socialist cucks, just for the corporations the GOP poured trillions into banks who FAFO'd instead of letting them go bankrupt in 2007-8
So did one of the Trump family or his cronies acquire majority ownership of Spirit Airlines before state rescue?
>>65104645>So you could be a commie sometimes, just not a communist henceforth?that's a different scenario, because cocksucking is not government ownership nor is it even Communismwhat I was telling you was that cocksucking is not a good analogy for government ownershipand >>65104654 also missed this point>>65104661>We have plenty of airlines that aren't in danger of failing. There's no need for itI agreebut this is a case-by-case judgementyou cannot generalise by induction from the single case of Spirit Airlines to entire political and economic systems, that is faulty logic>>65104689that was bipartisan, and so was the subsequent legislation that has now stopped that from happening
>>65104691You just know it's one of the bros, rescuing this tiny fucking airline makes no legitimate sense otherwise
>>65104689you are literally an idiot. did you know you southern poverty law center was actually supporting Nazis and and the KKK? they are the golden child of the DEMORCRATS!
>>65104693>that was bipartisan, and so was the subsequent legislation that has now stopped that from happeningso bipartisan socialism for FAFO'd banks is great now? lmfao
>>65104705it's not, which is why subsequent legislation has now stopped that from happening

>>65104538Secretly install bomb bay doors on all of their aircraft and dump passengers while flying over the ocean. Spirit has worse-behaved niggers on it than Greyhound, and that shouldn't even be possible given that Greyhound is so fucking bad that I'll pay extra to book Amtrak (and I FUCKING HATE Amtrak as any proper railfan does) just to avoid it.

God do i miss these things. They could kill a R34 Skyline while looking unassuming and cost enough a burger flipping teen could buy em.That was peak american dream. (Thank you Aussies for giving us a taste of the Holden experience.)

>>65104865I know an 81 year boomer who has the final version of one of those holdens, 2017 V8. Only drove it to his shed and parked it up. Lives in abject poverty but has it saved as an investment. Has 2 sons overseas who are major drug addicts. That's going to be a hell of a shed find for someone one day
>>65104865It took me a moment to realise what I was looking at, I don't think a car's ever given me the uncanny valley feeling before.GM should be put on trial for what they did to Holden.
>>65104574Fuck, I've been measuring them wrong all this time too
>>65104538Spirit Airlines has always been a Special Access Program testing the delivery of our most fearsome weapon...Spooklear Weapons. Years of careful planning have created the most sophisticated transcontinental nigger delivery system in human history. In the coming weeks, the story will fade and suddenly there will be non-stop, heavily discounted Spirit airlines flights from Atlanta/Chicago/Detroit directly to China. God Help Us All.

>>65104888We're the country that genocided the buffalo in order to keep beef prices up. Heck, we even paid ranchers to slaughter their own cattle to keep prices up. Our government purchased an ungodly supply of milk and made cheese in caves just so our ranchers would go bankrupt from an oversurplus of product. Remember the "Got Milk" campaign? That wasn't paid for by the milk industry.This crap isn't new. Trump's just being more blunt about it than his predecessors.

>>65104936watch it improve them
>>65105212>we even paid ranchers to slaughter their own cattle to keep prices upthere are lots of cases of that in lots of countries around the world, the problem is actually lack of transport to get the product from where it was cheap (i.e. glutting the market and so surplus to requirements that farmers could not make a living) to where it was expensive (i.e. in short supply and in demand)
>>65105224if jannies are so enthusiastically doing it for free, how hard do you think it is for the Bad Guys to find people to shit up the boards 24/7?all Beijing and Moscow would need to do is provide them with a lifetime supply of tendies and lois

>>65104538>>65104545>>65104574Wait, is this not fake? I heard the retarded fucking Spirit shit but this can't be real>>65104553It's sorta trite to say now but imagine if Obama floated this idea kekI don't think even Bernie would propose something this dumb, and if he did at least there'd be some sort of good intention in there.
>>65105300>if he did at least there'd be some sort of good intention in thereBernie is full of good intentions, to the exclusion of all other considerations such as feasibility, practicality, and principle>>65105299>innovate and improve processes and to have a more competent workforce to competethere's only so far you can buck a stacked deck. you can't expect US entrepreneurs can't single-handedly fight the unified strength of the Chinese government, can you?
>>65105264They should just tell them it's a free trip to Vegas. If you have been to Vegas lately, you know what I mean.
