About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of political interference on the free market, using Spirit Airlines as a case study.

When politicians who don't understand the free market stick their noees in, bad things happen. Case in point? Spirit Airlines goes away and thousands lose jobs. But the spin is that fuel prices did it lol. Good news, though: the free market is going to win despite all this. And people on social media are starting to figure out their buying power.
