Socialist antitrust activists killed Spirit Airlines — and learned nothing

The closure of Spirit Airlines, once a prominent budget carrier in the U.S., highlights the dire state of the airline industry amid war-related disruptions and soaring fuel costs. The shutdown, driven by socialist antitrust activists' pressure, underscores the potential ripple effects on competition, leading to fewer options for travelers and potentially higher fares. This situation serves as a cautionary tale for the future of the airline sector, suggesting that stringent regulations could further stifle industry viability and consumer choice.
