Elliott Management ups its stake in Southwest:
"The SWA activist investor looking to load up Southwest’s balance sheet with debt, turn the airline into a clone of AA and JetBlue [as] more of the airline’s leadership is being pushed out.
Let the enshittification begin!
"Southwest Will Begin Charging for Checked Bags"
Elliott Management is Paul Singer, who doesn't fly commercial:
Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court
@SaanichGuy keep in mind that Americans are generally not concerned about Alito's performance on the bench, and not particularly interested in his personal life.
If elsewhere this would mean resignation, well, now THAT would be corruption of the system, with personal attacks overriding the role the person serves in our government.
The US might be better than elsewhere when it comes to things like this.
Also, US tax policy promotes charging for checked bags. But we keep reelecting the same people promoting those policies, so again, we get what we vote for.
Yay democracy!
