Is Buttigieg to Blame for the Southwest MELTDOWN? (w/ Bill McGee)

This week, Briahna spoke to William McGee -- a Senior Fellow for Aviation at the American Economic Liberties Project -- about the root causes of the South West meltdown over the holidays that let 2 million Americans stranded. How much is Mayor Pete to blame? Should the US nationalize the airlines already rather than bail the out again and again? And how did things get this bad to begin with? A deeply knowledgable guest and a terrific conversation. Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library. Find Bad Faith on Twitter (@badfaithpod) and Instagram (@badfaithpod).

Buttigieg is bright, I expected good things but I don’t see him ‘cracking down’. He’s a soft spoken regulatory in a deliberate reactionary party and administration

A very illuminating discussion! Consumer dissatisfaction is a golden political opportunity for the Left to build a third option that breaks the Republican-Democrat hegemony. Will they seize it?

Pete's "accomplishments" in South Bend are firing a Black Police Chief for reporting the racist cops and gentrifying the city, displacing low income/poor residents. He's a CIA Neolib ROBOT. I don't know what "good" you expected out of him. FREE CHASTEN!!!

Has anyone ever proposed that if companies are going to take bailouts from taxpayers, that taxpayers should become shareholders in the company? At any other time a company gets money from people to keep a company running, they get equity right? Stocks, shares, etc. How is this different? I mean, capitalism right? Every person that filed a tax return when the bailouts happen gets a piece of the company from the shares of the company's board under whose leadership caused them to needing a bailout in the first place. Everything could be put in a fund or something under a person's SSN. I have retirement accounts with funds that have all sorts of companies in them. The IRS could manage it and get a cut from fees just like in my retirement accounts.

Never heard that before. Saw Pete live as a candidate, he stood out among the four(Biden, Klobuchar, Steyer) was impressed how he elevated the conversation. The moderators treated him like he was the star of the show

The answer is money. Money money money. The big airlines are huge donors to the Democratic party and they are their constituents - not us. They are ruling class psychos on the side of the corporations and wealthy. They don't care if these airlines rob us all because they can point at GDP and say it went up. Also, Pete worked for McKinsey, which helped create profit schemes like all of the fees for baggage. He's a part of the problem. He's the last person who should be regulating it. He is blatantly on the side of exploiting people for the benefit of corporations.
