I wonder how those in the Biden Administration, as well as the Federal Judge, feel now about preventing the Spirit and Jet Blue merger.

Considering all the damage they have done to this country, this isn't even a blip on the radar for them.

What damage?

Be specific. Like tariffs and the Iran war.

Bidenflation and open borders were FAR more harmful to this country than anything happening today. Many many times over. Crazy anyone would even attempt to downplay those things.

Except inflation started with Thrump during COVID and continued climbing with Biden.

The world-wide inflation that occurred with the easing of covid restrictions was basically econ 101. Supply and demand.
The easing of restrictions caused an immediate increase in demand. The idle supply chains couldn't begin to supply this demand and hence inflation.
Duh.
As supply chains caught up, inflation eased.

None of this was or is rocket science. It was pretty basic stuff, but any attempts to so state was immediately attacked as partisan apologist type defense of the Biden Administration.

Rule of thumb.
Barring a black swan type event/phenomena, in the US the first 2 years of an administrations economy belong to the previous administration. The third year is a blending. Only in the fourth year of an administration does that administrations economic philosophies/policies start to have visible and measureable outcomes that they completely own.

9/11 was a Black Swan event.
For better or worse, Trump is a Black Swan phenomena.

Disingenuous at best. While inflation began under trump and the beginning of the pandemic, it expploded under Biden due to policy. Trump mentioned many times we needed to open up and the cure cannot be worse than the disease. Easily found with 3 seconds of research. Biden and his handlers kept it closed down as long as they possibly could for political gain. Money supply exploded and massive inflation took hold. All intentionally done.
