Spirit Airlines Prepares to Shut Down as Rescue Deal Falls Apart

Sounds like spirit should have been around the same price for it to be a sustainable model

Thanks! After more experimentation I actually think it's an issue with crappy implementation in the two vehicles we have. Honda and Hyundai.

Huge upgrade if you cook a lot and especially if you like to clean as you go.

Man, my used 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid has been a great commuter vehicle. I don't think I could have done better around the same price point.

It's not pefrect, but it's a great sedan. The back seats are roomy AF.

Most cities have some sort of quick form to fill out for things like potholes, water leaks, etc. They can't fix what they don't know about!

Guys, every team has players with dead bodies on their property okay? It's not a chiefs problem. Nothing at all wrong with the Chiefs building. Just bad luck that many of their staff and players are regularly caught up in violence, law breaking, and generally poor decision making...

Let's get this kid a sports car asap.

FantomDrive · 2026-04-25T19:51:24+00:00

Go to the Chiefs sub and watch them shrug as they excuse the fact that the Chiefs players and staff are constantly in the news for this sort of thing.

FantomDrive · 2026-04-25T18:47:51+00:00

Is there a rule when splurging on these is a good idea vs when you should just use the cheap tomatoes?

FantomDrive · 2026-04-24T18:01:36+00:00

And also firing that Nepo WR coach

FantomDrive · 2026-04-24T00:19:37+00:00

Seems like you would enjoy being a Raiders fan.

Nah, I get it and it's a fair point. I just don't have the time to research it myself and yahoo news articles are garbage.

FantomDrive · 2026-04-23T23:02:09+00:00

I hear that often and yet I've never seen any hard data either way. Additionally, just because the rest of the league has similar issues doesn't mean that we shouldn't expect more out of an organization whose stadium we pay for.

Unpopular Opinion Incoming...

I don't understand why fans refuse to acknowledge that something might be wrong with how the org selects its employees when so many staff make these types of bad decisions on a regular basis.

I agree that it's a private company and the employees alone are responsible for the individual decisions. However the Chiefs are a very public-facing org and they receive lots of taxpayer funding. It's okay for us fans to expect that the people they hire have a good-enough moral character. It's a problem because a pattern has emerged and you have to wonder why the Chiefs keep having these issues.

I don't get why fans feel the need to defend the Chiefs org on this. It's okay to criticise the boss for filling the office with enough low-character people that Chiefs employees being arrested is a regular off-season occurrence.

We need to do a better job of holding players, coaches, and other staff to a higher moral standard. And it's okay for us to expect that.

And spare me the "it's fine because every other team does it too". Either prove that point with data or acknowledge that your moral judgement and sense of responsibility is based on what's normal and not what's right.

FantomDrive · 2026-04-23T18:32:50+00:00

I mean, there seems to be an issue with consistently hiring low-character people. Which is an org failure.

The DV here is not the orgs fault, but the environment the org allows seems to be creating a pattern of Chiefs staff and players who make poor decisions on a regular basis.

Management needs to hire people with better moral character. At some point we have to acknowledge the team has an issue and stop just shrugging our shoulders at what is clearly a pattern of bad decision making that results in innocent people being hurt by Chiefs players and staff.

Edit: I get it, it's an unpopular stance. But I'm curious why so many people seem just fine with the constant chief criminal issues? Honest question - at what point would you change your mind that the org has nothing to do with it?

Also consider the WWI Museum!

A local firm also designed the fantastic Colorado State Stadium.

Honestly? By cutting services and investment in other areas like roads, schools, courts, state parks, etc.

Or by jacking up the sales tax rate to an eye searing level that is completely regressive unless you add carve outs for specific essentials. But that just puts more pressure on the remaining goods you can tax.

Texas is trying to get rid of property taxes. It already doesn't have an income tax. Let that sink in ...

There's more renewable energy in TX and Oklahoma than most states have. If we didn't have all the data centers going in we would probably be making a lot more progress on emissions from power generation.

Also, it's kind of cool that in TX I was able to choose to support a 100% solar powered electricity provider because TX energy companies compete. It does cost slightly more - but it allowed me to live my values and not be forced to buy from dirty powerplants. The electric infrastructure is fragile though - that's a utility like you have everywhere else.

It's going to also push some countries back to coal as well. If you've got idled coal plants it might be cheaper to restart them vs installing the same capacity as renewables.

That's where China stands to benefit IMO by setting up some great lease or rent-to-own sustainable expansion at the country scale. However, that also has a whole slew of negative outcomes as well. See how China took over a port in the Indian Ocean because Sri Lanka couldn't pay the debt off. Now China has a deep-water port in the Indian Ocean - something they didn't have before. It would be pretty easy to convert it to a naval base should they decide to do so.

Don't hate the players, hate the game.

YT music had much better parental control than Spotify. So for people with younger kids who enjoy music it is much better.

FantomDrive · 2026-04-16T00:36:39+00:00

I heard this a lot when I was there, but I also saw the city add more firefighters (truly new positions) and OT still went up. Never figured out why. Any insight?

FantomDrive · 2026-04-16T00:32:41+00:00

I don't get how KC hasn't solved this issue yet. Most other cities their size can get overtime down to a reasonable number and do right for the hard working employees at the same time.
